Pandemic restrictions hit Fisheries Department’s plans
Restrictions imposed on normal activities to contain COVID-19 has hit plans of the Fisheries Department to dismantle unauthorised Chinese fishing nets (dip nets) in the backwaters off Kumbalangi. Sources said that the department had decided to dismantle unauthorised nets early last year and preparations had been made for it. It is estimated that there are around 2,000 Chinese fishing nets in Kumbalangi waters, which have given rise to complaints from fishers in the village and surrounding areas. The large number of fishing nets has also resulted in the nets obstructing the movement of water craft, including fishing vessels.
