A fisherman casts his net in the waters of the Gulf of Guinea, outside Jamestown, the oldest fishing community in Accra on July 21, 2019. The fishing sector is crucially important to this West African nation. It provides support for more than two million people, up to 10 percent of the population, and the produce it generates accounts for about 60 percent of the protein in the diet of Ghanaians. But the figures are startling. United Nations data shows that production fell from almost 420,000 tonnes in 1999 to 202,000 tonnes in 2014. (Photo by Natalija Gormalova/AFP Photo)
