The two boats were casting fishing nets on the coral reef.
Accordingly, the Marine Protection Department issued violation reports to the two boats and referred them to the concerned entities for necessary procedures against them.
The department also urged the public and seagoers to keep the marine environment clean, avoid throwing garbage into the seawater, or use banned fishing tools and gear such as the fishing nets made of nylon and having multiple layers.
The department added that fishing is banned at the coral reef areas.
