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.
