Fishery Wealth Threatened: Details of Fisherman Caught Red-Handed in Kfar Abida

As part of ongoing campaigns to combat illegal sea fishing using dynamite, the maritime patrol of the North Coast Division of the Internal Security Forces succeeded this morning in arresting one of the violating fishermen after an operation involving surveillance, monitoring, and a maritime chase off the shores of Kfar Abida – Batroun.

The operation came after a period of continuous follow-up, during which the fisherman and his companions were caught red-handed before being pursued. One suspect was detained and taken for investigation, based on instructions from the competent judiciary.

This step falls within a series of measures aimed at reducing dynamite fishing, which poses a significant threat to fish wealth and marine ecological balance, amid tightened oversight, pursuit of violators, and taking necessary legal actions against them.

A salute of appreciation and respect to the North Coast Division, its commander, and its elements for their continuous efforts and dedication in performing their duty, and for their night watches and diligent field follow-ups despite difficulties, in order to protect our shores and fish wealth and put an end to violations threatening the marine environment.
