Coast Guard Seizes Illegal Shrimp Boat

The Coast Guard patrols seized a boat carrying four Asian individuals in possession of a quantity of shrimp caught using banned bottom trawling nets (“koffa”) in the Khor Fasht area.

It was part of ongoing efforts to combat maritime violations and ensure that sailors and fishermen comply with laws and regulations.

The Coast Guard stated that the necessary legal procedures were taken against the violators in preparation for referring the case to the Public Prosecution.

The Coast Guard urged seagoers to comply with the instructions of maritime patrols when requested to stop for inspection, to adhere to decisions banning fishing and the use of illegal tools, and to follow procedures on reducing overfishing, illegal, and unregulated fishing.
