  "summary": "The Fisheries Commission in Ghana has inaugurated two national-level fisheries co-management committees, the Scientific and Technical Committee (STC) and the Fisheries Management Operational Committee (FMOC), as part of efforts to strengthen participatory, science-based and coordinated fisheries management under the country's new fisheries law. The committees were sworn in at separate ceremonies in Accra on September 15, 2026, with support from the Global Fisheries and Resilience Action (GFRA) under the Inshore Exclusion Zone Enforcement and Transparency (IEZET) Project. The Scientific and Technical Committee, chaired by Dr. Angela Lamptey, will provide scientific and technical advice to inform fisheries management decisions, with its scope now expanded to include inland fisheries and aquaculture. The Fisheries Management Operational Committee, chaired by Mr. Daniel Owusu, will translate scientific and technical advice into coordinated operational action, including developing annual implementation plans and coordinating among relevant divisions of the Fisheries Commission and other stakeholder institutions.",
