Doha, Qatar: In continuation of its role in protecting the marine environment and its biodiversity, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, represented by the Marine Protection Department, monitored an environmental violation in Ruwais Port.
The officials found fishermen were using three-layer gillnets, and were fishing in the Fashoot sites (coral reefs).
"The use of this type of nets destroys coral reefs, which are important to the environment and marine wealth," said the ministry on its social media.
It further called on all fishermen and seafarers to abide by the laws and decisions in force regulating fishing and protecting the marine environment, and protecting natural coral reef sites.
