Coast Guard holds inspection and awareness campaign

The Coast Guard has conducted an inspection and awareness campaign to ensure that fishermen adhere to fishing regulations. The campaign, which covered coastlines and markets, was held in association with the Interior Ministry’s directorates, the Labour Market Regulatory Authority, and other organisations. 

The campaign identified violations, including illegal fishing practices, the use of unauthorised equipment, and the employment of unlicensed foreign workers. The Coast Guard called upon fishermen to follow fishing rules and vowed to continue with such campaigns to inspect violations and protect the marine environment.
