加纳的工业拖网渔船非法捕捞幼鱼,尽管有新的保护措施,却伤害了小渔民。 Ghana’s industrial trawlers illegally catch juvenile fish, harming small fishers despite new protections.

环境正义基金会(Environmental Justice Foundation)的新报告显示,加纳工业拖网渔船继续捕捞大量非法副渔获物,包括幼鱼,导致94%的个体渔民渔获量下降,87%的收入下降。 A new report by the Environmental Justice Foundation reveals Ghana’s industrial trawlers continue harvesting large amounts of illegal bycatch, including undersized juvenile fish, leading to declining catches for 94% of artisanal fishers and falling incomes for 87%. 尽管加纳将其岸外排斥区扩大到12海里,赞同渔业透明度承诺,并终止非法转运,但渔业联合会敦促全面执行新的法律、电子监测和更严厉的处罚,以保护小规模渔民和恢复可持续渔业。 Despite Ghana expanding its Inshore Exclusion Zone to 12 nautical miles, endorsing fisheries transparency pledges, and ending illegal transshipments, the EJF urges full enforcement of new laws, electronic monitoring, and stronger penalties to protect small-scale fishers and restore sustainable fisheries.
