  IT IS INDEED VERY SAD THAT, AFTER FIFTY NINE YEARS OF THE NATIONS STATEHOOD, WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE ARE GOING IN THE 21st CENTURY.
  
  IN THE SHADOW OF PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES, RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS AND ''EDUCATED''
  ARE THE VERY PEOPLE IN POLITICS, IN POSITIONS AT THE PUBLIC AND EDUCATIONAL SECTORS DO NOT KNOW..... GHANAIAN FISHERMEN WORK AT A TRADE HANDED DOWN GENERATION TO GENERATION,PLYING THE SAME WATERS, SOMETIMES IN THE SAME PRIMITIVE AND LEAKY BOATS, AS THEIR GRANDFATHERS AND FATHERS BEFORE THEM.
  
  WHILE THEY TOIL FOR MEAGRE CATCHES, MODERN FISHING BOATS AND TRAWLERS FROM EUROPE, RUSSIA,CHINA STEAM ALONG THE COAST, FURTHER DEPLETING GHANA'S ALREADY OVERFISHED SHORE.
  
  WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEARN AND TO SHAPE AND TO PUT THE STATE OF GHANA ON A SHINNING PATH FOR THE PRESENT AND THE NEXT GENERATIONS.
  
  ONLY WHEN WE HAVE THE VISION AND AIM TO PROVIDE TRAINED HUMAN REOURCE, ENABLING THE FISHERIES SECTOR TO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF THE FUTURE.
  
  WITHOUT EDUCATION AND TRAINING OF OUR FISHERMEN AS(ARTISANS AND TECHNICIANS)AND FOR THEM TO DEVELOP REAL HANDS- ON- SKILLS,ON FISHING GEAR TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOPS,IN SHORE FISHING VESSEL, ETC.,ETC., NEVER SHALL A COLLABORATION OF THIS NATURE, EVER PRODUCE AND DEVELOP THE NEEDED WORKFORCE TO CREATR A MODERN, SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS FISHERIES INDUSTRIES IN GHANA.
  
  WHY ARE WE STILL BEHIND TIME-WAKE AND TRY.
