Marine police officers have arrested five fishermen. They are accused of using dynamite to catch fish. This happened in Ghana's coastal waters.
The arrests were made by the Marine Police Unit. They were on patrol when they discovered the illegal activity.
Using dynamite for fishing is against the law. It is also very dangerous for the environment. The explosives kill many fish, including young ones.
This practice can destroy coral reefs and other important habitats for marine life. It makes it harder for fish populations to recover.
The arrested fishermen will face charges. The Ghana Police Service stated that such activities will not be tolerated.
Authorities are warning other fishermen against using illegal methods. They emphasize the importance of protecting marine resources for future generations.
The suspects are currently in police custody. Investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of their operations.
This action highlights the ongoing efforts to combat illegal fishing practices along the coast.
