The Centre for Maritime Law and Security Africa was contracted by the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development under the West African Regional Fisheries Program (WARFP) of the World Bank to conduct a Fisheries Observer Training Programme. The intent was to ensure fishing vessels compliance to fisheries rules and regulations and as part of efforts to prevent fisheries offences and manage Ghana’s fish stocks. The programme equipped participants with all essential knowledge and safety practices to function effectively as fisheries observers.
