Fisher Folks Plead For Security Guards

By Joyce Bedeley:

Fisher folks in Winneba in the Central region are appealing to the government to provide them with security guards to protect them in the discharge of their duties.  Their call arises out of the nefarious activities being perpetrated by some unscrupulous residents along the beaches and other seashores.

The aggrieved residents revealed to Rite news that some foreigners were making their work difficult for them and that some Chinese persons come to fish using light and harmful chemicals which pose a threat to the safety of the sea.

The chemicals used by these Chinese people tend to kill all offspring of the fishes. They lamented further that the use of boats by the Chinese distracts them when they are fishing and on several occasions they ended up clashing with them.

They therefore used the media front to appeal to government to provide them with security guards who would help them fight the canker. They also appealed to government to grant them loans so they can purchase fish processing machines to preserve the harvested fish for a long time.
