GHANA FISHING

Fishermen set off to work at sunrise on their small traditional wooden boat near Cape Coast, roughly 120km west of Ghana's capital Accra on Thursday April 9, 2009. The Ghana Ministry of Fisheries estimates to about 500,000 the number of fishermen and fishmongers in Ghana. Up to 2 million people - nearly 10 percent of the country's population - make a living from professions - such as canoe-building - dependent on the fishing industry.
