The impact of climate change on fishing

In the harsh weather conditions posed by climate change, fishermen have left their boats offshore because the temperatures have become very hot making fishing difficult.

The high rising sea levels as a cause of climate change makes fishing very difficult and sometimes fishermen do not go to sea at all as the sea levels keep rising. This makes it dangerous to be on sea.

Fishermen now come back from their shipping expeditions with empty boats and are forced to pull off their nets onto the shores.

At other times where there are fishes, these fishermen put their catch into barrels when on sea and offload them when they get onshore.

Women and men who depend solely on fish smoking and fish selling for survival gather up at the shores of the sea expectedly waiting for these fishermen to bring their catch.

Once the little catch is brought onto the shore, the fight for who gets the biggest share breaks out as everyone wants their share.

However, the fishes caught in these areas are merely fingers who cannot go deeper into the sea as the big ones have all migrated.

Climate has made fishing so difficult that now the big fishes are only gotten from cold stores and not the fishing areas.

Because of the harsh weather conditions posed by the climate, fishermen in places like Osu no longer travel out to sea, leaving their boats on the coast. Local kids have transformed the waterfront into a place for playing and swimming.

Let us all come together and help put an end to the effects of climate change on fishing. Thank you.

By Gloria Tettey Photo credit: Gloria Tettey Imagine a world where the once abundant oceans are now struggling to provide enough fish to sustain our growing population. This is the reality we face as the availability of fish diminishes due to different reasons, among which climate change is included. One may ask,What is climate change?  Climate change is the long-term change in the weather patterns and temperatures on earth. This is caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels, leading to global warming. Nonetheless, the risen sea temperature and ocean acidification, which are some effects of climate change, have had a great impact on fish. The warming of the ocean and the increased acidity of its waters have disturbed the habitat of marine ecosystems and had an impact on their population. This can cause alterations in the way fish migrate, the availability of their food, and their overall productivity. Fish is an excellent source of calories and protein, which provides the...

 By: Sonia Emmanuella V Narkie Kumah Photo credit: Sonia Emmanuella V Nakie Kumah Climate change is affecting various aspects of our lives, from the environment and natural resources to agriculture, public health, and even our economies. Its impacts can be seen in extreme weather events, sea-level rise, changes in ecosystems, and disruptions to food production. It has become a pressing issue, impacting various aspects of our lives, including the fishing industry, following the effects of rising sea temperatures on fishermen and their livelihoods and also delving into the changing weather patterns and their influence on fishing practices and approaching the challenges faced by fishermen. First of all, what is climate change and are people aware of it? Well, climate change refers to long-term shifts and alterations in Earth's climate patterns, caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation etc and gradually these activities release greenhouse gases in...
