Watchdog Says Ghana’s Fisheries On Brink Of Collapse

May 31, 2020/ Theo Edwards

Per the government’s Fisheries Management Plan, the country’s fishery can sustain 48 trawlers, yet, 76 trawlers licensed at the end of 2019.

Ghana continues to see large quantities of fish landed by Saiko canoes at Elmina Fishing Harbor, even after the government and the fishing industry committed to ending the practice last November, the GNCFC said.

The Saiko trade – where trawlers illegally target the main catch of canoe fishers, transfer it at sea to specially adapted boats, and sell the stolen fish back to local communities – took an estimated 100,000 tons of fish in 2017.

'TFS' Twenty-twenty Vision

February 18, 2020/ Theo Edwards

I have been sick, and I had to take an extended mental health break during the holiday season. I believe the doctor diagnosed my malady as TFS, more commonly known as Trump Fatigue Syndrome. The symptoms include bleary-eyed, exasperation, rising blood pressure, and irritability. I had to stop the insanity and ban myself from watching the news and political shows. Mr. Anonymous has reached his breaking point. And he isn’t alone.
