The Concerned Net Owners Association in Ketu South, Ghana, has urged the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development and regional authorities to enforce fisheries laws uniformly, criticizing the selective targeting of light fishing while ignoring illegal poly net operations. They have submitted a petition highlighting the widespread use of these illegal nets, warning that inaction could irreparably harm marine ecosystems and local livelihoods. The association demands consistent legal measures against all illegal fishing activities to ensure fairness and protect fish stocks.
