1 MOFAD The State of in Ghana Science and Management Najih Lazar Senior Advisor
2 USAID/Sustainable Management Project ( ) GOAL: To rebuild marine fisheries stocks and increase production through effective fisheries management strategies and adoption of responsible fishing practices To contribute to the Government of Ghana s fisheries policies and development objectives, and USAID Feed the Future Initiative Build research and education capacity of University of Cape Coast
3 IMPLEMENTATION: The Coastal Resources Center (CRC) Graduate School of Oceanography University of Rhode Island leads a team of partners in Ghana (HM, FoN, SNV, CW, DAA, SS, DQ, SSG)

7 MARINE FISHERIES PROFILE OF GHANA MOFAD The marine fisheries sector is the most important source of local fish production, delivering more than 80% of the total supply Over 300 different species of commercially important fish are caught from marine sources in Ghana Most marine fish supply is from artisanal fishery and the most important marine resources are small pelagics (sardinella, anchovy and mackerel) Gross value is over $300 million/year and the total revenues over $1 billion Export value over $100 million/year Direct jobs >200,000 and indirect jobs over 2 million Average consumption kgs/capita A way of life for coastal communities

10 MOFAD State of the fish stocks in Ghana (FAO) The Marine fisheries resources of Ghana over the last decade have been fluctuating showing general decline in catches, revenues and mean size of fish. This is an indication of heavy exploitation at all fisheries (F/Fmsy=1.46 and B/Bmsy=0.72) Some targeted stocks are severely overfished (Sardinella, Sea breams, Groupers/Snappers and Cephalopods) Others are at full exploitation level (chub mackerel, skipjacks and carrangids F/Fmsy=1.0) There are no stocks that are under-exploited
11 MOFAD Status of small pelagics stocks STWG Sardinella aurita (Eban, Kankama) Sardinella maderensis (Antebo, Adruku) Engraulis encrasicolus (Amoni, Abobi) Scomber japonicas (Saman, Awokongula)
12 Sardinellas Biology and Stock distribution: MOFAD Can be fished from Morocco to South Africa on the Atlantic Ocean of Africa. Strong seasonal migratory species Move in schools of fish from inshore to edge of shelf. Prefers clear saline water with a minimum temperature below 24 C. Juveniles tend to stay in nursery areas inshore. They join adult stocks offshore when they mature. Feeds mainly on zooplankton, especially copepods
13 Landings trends MOFAD
14 Number of Canoes Effort trends 16,000 Number of Canoes in the artisanal fishery MOFAD 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 -

16 Biomass trends (tons) MOFAD
17 Fishing efficiency (rate of fishing F) MOFAD
18 Total weight of fish in the ocean Were are we? Rebuilding targets Fishery status showing overfishing and stocks overfished Fishing mortality rate
19 MOFAD Status of the stock (SFMP) Stock of small pelagic resources in Ghana are severely overfished. Fishing mortality rate (removal rate) remains in excess of the sustainable level. If this trend continues, the stock will collapse and so will the fishery.
20 Causes of overexploitation MOFAD MAN MADE ACTIVITIES OPEN ACCESS CAUSED OVERCAPACITY ( ,000 canoes in 20 years) and OVEREFISHING (average net increased and input of large foreign trawlers) LACK OF ADEQUATE ENFORCEMENT CAUSED USE OF ILLEGAL METHODS AND GEARS (small mesh, light fishing, Seiko, dynamite, chemicals etc) LACK OF ADEQUATE INFRASTUCTURE CAUSED WASTEFUL FISHING PRACTICES LEADING TO POST HARVEST LOSSES ENVIRONMNETAL FACTORS UPWELLINGS AND UNEXPECPTED INTERACTIONS CLIMATE CHANGE
21 CONSEQUENCES MOFAD - Loss of revenues and jobs - Increased Poverty - Loss of food security - Loss of healthy ecosystem
22 MOFAD We can reverse this trend by implementing the National Management Plan (MoFAD ) The implementation should be guided by: Maximum Sustainable Yield Effort control Legislation Improved fisheries information Improved law enforcement
23 MOFAD What is the Maximum Sustainable Yield? Under no harvest a wild population will grow exponentially then slow down until it reaches an equilibrium Maximum growth rate
24 Yield ( x 1000 tons) MOFAD Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) An International management target MSY Emsy Fishing Effort (Exp: Number of vessels or number of days fished...etc)
25 Artisanal Canoe of Ghana (Open Access) Revenues 9095 MSY Cost Subsidy Current fishing effort Fishing Effort f MSY
26 MOFAD - Implement the laws governing licensing provisions of the Act - Moratorium on new licenses for artisanal fisheries (no more canoes) - Reduce fishing effort for industrial trawlers by 50% Effort control - Improve fisheries data collection system - Implement closed season for all fisheries
27 MOFAD Legislation that Influence Act 625 (2002) Regulations L.I (2010) Amendment Act 880 (2014) National Environmental Act 490 (1994) Endangered species Act (Wildlife & Forestry 571)
28 MOFAD Improved information system Scientific and Technical Working Group needs to be formalized Scientific and Survey Division needs more staff and more capacity Decentralize flow of fisheries information Training and capacity building
29 MOFAD Improved Law enforcement Training and capacity building Logistical support Coordination with FEU Improve transparency
30 SUMMARY sector is a significant socio-economic driver Many fish stocks are overfished NFMP ( ) was approved and needs full force implementation Science-based fisheries management needs to guide implementation Improve legal framework and strengthen science and monitoring institutions Invest in post-harvest techniques, infrastructure and market strategies
