It was imposed after months of consultations as part of measures to help replenish the country’s dwindling fish stock. The Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture postponed a similar closure in 2018 following several concerns raised by stakeholders. Meanwhile, the GNA observed that the fishermen at the canoe beach were complying with ban as their canoes had berthed at the basin. Some sat sit idle, chatting among themselves or mending their canoes and nets as the closure of the sea to fishing activities entered day three on Friday.
