MONROVIA — Local fishermen have criticized recent move by the National Fisheries and Aqua Culture Authority (NaFAA) to change their fishing nets. They said, the decision to change their fishing nets is good, but it must be done with durable nets. “This means all fishermen using the rubber nets or the monofilament nets will be required to turn over all their rubber nets to NaFAA team during the free distribution to receive the thread nets or the multifilament nets,” NaFAA said in a released. This means, fishermen who have not paid their fishing license fees since 2018 will not receive the free fishing nets and they will no longer be allowed to use the rubber nets for fishing purposes. Mr. Manoballah is calling on all fishermen in the country to comply to the mandate of receiving fishing nets in the country.
