The lake Bosomtwe in the Abono Village in the Ashanti Region of Ghana is in a deplorable state, thereby negatively affecting its rich aquatic biodiversity. The condition is blamed on the negative human impacts on the lake. A phenomenological study of the qualitative approach was undertaken to investigate this phenomenon. The findings revealed that the deteriorating condition of the lake is due to the weak implementation of the cultural traditions of the Abono people. The study proposes the strict observance of the cultural traditions as a complement to the scientific models to avert the want and destruction of the aquatic biodiversity of lake Bosomtwe of Ghana.
