Inspectors from the Marine Control Department at the Agriculture and Marine Resources Affairs seized yesterday a number of illegal shrimping nets. This came during an inspection tour of the west coast of Bahrain.

The department indicated that the nets and other fishing equipment violated certain regulations that have been put into place to help protect the Kingdom’s marine life.

The department calls on all fishermen to adhere to the Kingdom’s fishing laws to ensure the sustainability of important resources, in terms of achieving food security in Bahrain.
