The validation session yesterday was very successful, and was an important participatory platform for fishers to reflect on the research findings, verify the accuracy of the information to be put out, and contribute our perspectives and experiences in shaping the recommendations.
Huge thanks to fisherfolk and stakeholders from Sekondi and Abuesi who participated in our Western Region validation event yesterday. Special thanks to our Chairperson, Nana Gyamfiaba - Queen mother of Shama and ABS Fishing Harbour Sekondi management for their hospitality.
