  Fishing activities in three coastal communities in the Nzema East District have been severely disrupted as an unusual invasion of seaweed continues to choke Ghana’s western coastline. Communities including Agyan, Akonu Domunli, and Axim are now bearing the brunt of the problem, with fishermen returning from sea with nets filled almost entirely with seaweed instead of fish.
