Accra, Feb 25, GNA-President for the Ghana Agricultural and Rural Development Journalists Association (GARDJA), Richmond Frimpong has revealed that Earth Journalism Network has provided funding support to the platform to implement a nationwide journalism-led project.
It is titled “Save Our Sea (SOS) Campaign”, aimed at tackling illegal fishing and promoting marine conservation in Ghana over a 6-month period.
He said the funding from Earth Journalism Network would strengthen the role of journalism as a tool for environmental accountability, public education and policy influence in the fisheries sector.
“The Save Our Sea (SOS) Campaign is a coordinated national media intervention designed to expose, challenge and ultimately help reduce illegal fishing practices, including saiko, bottom trawling, light fishing and the use of destructive fishing gear, which continue to threaten Ghana’s marine ecosystem and coastal livelihoods” he added.
