Fisheries (Amendment) Regulations (L.I. 2217 of 2015).

These Regulations amend the Fisheries Regulations, 2010 principally by inserting new regulations 24A to 24DD and regulations 49A to 49D concerning measures to deter and eliminate Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing. They implement in part the Fisheries (Amendment) Act, 2014 (Act No. 880). Measures include international cooperation, access control (in respect to vessels previously registered as being involved in IUU fishing), record of fishing vessels flying the flag of Ghana and fishing outside Ghanaian waters, disclosure of information for purpose of complying with international obligations, more stringent requirements for the application for and granting of a (foreign) fishing authorization, vessel monitoring systems, control on the landing of catches, denial of use of a Ghanaian port.
