Illegal, destructive and non-sustainable fishing practices abound in the Central Region and for that matter the coastal areas of the country. Attempts to deal with it might not come cheaply. It will require a great deal of tact, diplomacy, lobbying and education, by-partisans and a well co-ordinated approach. 2. The issue of premix fuel continues to pose a challenge with daily reports of shortages, diversion, corruption and smuggling to neighbouring countries. The methodology helped to elicit possible causes of the current situation of the premix fuel in the country. Following from this, the methodology looked at the research design, the sampling techniques, the data collection methods to be applied and the analysis of the data. 3. The contribution of marine fisheries to Ghana’s economy in terms of GDP, employment, livelihood, food security and poverty reduction of participants cannot ne overstated. Artisanal fishing in particular contributes about 70-80% of the total annual volume of marine catch of the country. Fish stocks have been overexploited as it is a naturally occurring common pool resource with open access. This study investigates the operations of the CBFMCs in the Western Region and identify lessons for future successful operations. 4. The findings of the fourth study are divided into three main parts to reflect the themes and sub-themes that informed the interviews. The themes include but are not limited to the description and traditional beliefs about the sea, sea creatures and sea gods and their influences on fishing.
