DOHA: 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, in which fishermen were using three-layer gillnets, and the violators 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.
The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change calls on all fishermen and seafarers to abide by the laws and decisions in force regulating fishing protecting the marine environment, and protecting natural coral reef sites.
