Two Indian trawlers seized for poaching in Sri Lankan waters
Navy seized two Indian trawlers with 16 Indian fishermen while poaching in Sri Lankan waters, during separate patrols carried out last night.
Considering the impact of foreign fishermen poaching in Sri Lankan waters on the local fishing community and threats to the biodiversity of the country's marine environment, the Navy has been conducting regular patrols and operations to curb such illegal activities, Navy said.
Accordingly, these apprehensions were made during patrols carried out by the Northern and North Central Naval Commands, in Sri Lankan waters northwest of the islands of Delft in Jaffna and Iranativu in Kilinochchi.
Thus, the Navy took hold of the 02 Indian trawlers with 16 Indian fishermen while ‘bottom trawling’ in island waters, through the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL). The Navy also seized a stock of fish caught illegally through this fishing method.
