Fishermen in James Town, a historic Ga fishing community in Accra, have seen a notable rise in their catch following the recent lifting of the ban on artisanal and inshore fishing.

The Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development lifted the ban last week, concluding the annual close season for these fleets.

The one-month fishing close season, implemented by the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development and the Fisheries Commission, is designed to restore the country’s depleting fish stocks.

It also allows fishermen time to repair their equipment and get ready for the fishing season.

In an interview, one of the fishermen in James Town attributed their successful catch to favourable weather conditions.

He also mentioned that this year’s catch is significantly better than in previous years, with the cold weather playing a key role.

“For the first time, Sunday and today [Monday], infact Sunday was the best, I can say it is because of the weather,” the chief fisherman said.

I called Trump to congratulate him - Kamala Harris says at concession speech in Washington D.C. Kamala Harris, the U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate, delivered her concession speech at Howard University in Washington, D.C., following a closely contested election against Republican Donald Trump. Late on Wednesday, Harris shared her empathy with supporters, acknowledging the disappointment many felt over her loss. “I know people are experiencing a range of emotions right now, but we must accept the results of this election.” Before her speech, Harris mentioned that she had called Trump to congratulate him on his victory, stating, “Earlier today, I spoke with President Trump, congratulated him on his victory, and told him we will help his team with the transition and ensure a peaceful transfer of power.” Former President Joe Biden released a statement praising Harris after her speech: “She will continue the fight with purpose, determination, and joy. She remains a leader for all Americans and an inspiration for future generations.” The audience expressed disappointment, with some grieving the missed chance of seeing Harris as the country’s first Black female president. Many supporters also voiced concerns about potential challenges to their rights.
