The Minister for Transport, Hon. Joseph Bukari Nikpe, has visited the Mumford fish landing site to assess the condition and operational effectiveness of the facility, including its breakwater infrastructure.
The visit forms part of the government’s efforts to evaluate the performance of the fishing facility, identify existing challenges, and implement measures to improve its functionality and sustainability.
The assessment is expected to help strengthen fishing activities in Mumford by ensuring that the landing site provides the necessary support for local fishermen and other stakeholders in the fishing industry.
Improving the Mumford fish landing site could also contribute to better working conditions for fishermen, increased productivity, and improved livelihoods for fishing communities that depend on the sector for their economic well-being.
The inspection underscores the importance of maintaining fishing infrastructure to promote sustainable fisheries, local economic development, and job creation in coastal communities across Ghana.
