A group of Ghanaian fishermen from a coastal village in the Western Region made headlines after hauling in a massive shark during a routine fishing expedition. The fishermen, known for their skill in navigating the Atlantic waters, battled for hours to subdue the formidable creature, which measured over 12 feet long.
The catch, celebrated as a rare feat, drew crowds to the shore, where the shark was displayed before being processed for local markets. Community leaders praised the fishermen’s bravery, noting the economic boost from the sale of the shark’s meat and fins. However, marine conservationists raised concerns, urging sustainable practices to protect Ghana’s marine biodiversity.
