The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change's (MoECC) Marine Protection Department has spotted an environmental violation at Al Ruwais Port, where three-layer gill nets, were being used at coral reef sites. Through its X account, MoECC explained that the use of such fishing nets destroys coral reefs, which are considered very important for the environment and the marine wealth. Accordingly, MoECC urged all concerned to strictly abide by the laws and regulations that regulate fishing and protect the marine life, in particular when it comes to the preservation of coral reefs.
