Dubai: About 200 kilogrammes of shrimp caught with prohibited trawling nets off the coast of Karzakan have been seized by the coast guard command’s police patrols, the Ministry of Interior reported yesterday.
The ministry said the coast guard commander announced the confiscation as they violated local fishing laws that aim to protect the Kingdom’s marine wealth.
