The Moree seashore in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese (AAK) constituency in the Central Region has been turned into a block yard by indigenes living in the fishing community after years of mining sand from the shore.

An illegality that has over the years caused citizenry of the community a great loss.

It will be recalled that some residents at the Moree seashore recently got displaced with their structures destroyed by tidal waves, as a result of the area's sand-winning activity.

An activity adopted by most residents of Moree to be their main source of occupation. As individuals from various locations within the region patronize them, either for blocks or for sea sand.

The menace which has contributed immensely in destroying the community's serene aquatic nature, surprisingly has woman largely to be its victims.

A number of these perpetrators took to their heels upon detecting new faces around the seashore.

Maame Adwoa, a 21-year-old sand miner at the Moree seashore, shared with Sompa TV/FM'S Eric Annan that poverty is the architect which lured her into the distasteful act as she revealed of making a daily sale of Gh¢20.

Other sand miners who shared their plight also said the lack of better job opportunity forced them into the act.

Mr. Kwame Damoah, the Central Regional Fisheries Commission Director who was at the scene, vehemently condemned the act to have a ripple effect on fishing.

He stressed that the activity will in no time take away the livelihood of many who find themselves working around the Moree seashore and described the act to be galamsey at the region's landing beaches.

The Fisheries Commission Director then promised to inform both the Central Regional Minister, Hon. Justina Marigold Assan, and the Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Management, Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson to help curb the abnormalities.
