KOTA KINABALU, July 10 — The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency has detected syndicates from neighbouring countries that brought in fish bombing equipment before selling it to foreign fishermen in the state.
“Some individuals have been arrested and have been detained under the Prevention of Crime Act 1959, but there are still fish bombing activities going on because there is a demand for the device,” he told Bernama recently. He said until May this year, the MMEA recorded nine cases involving fish bombing activities while 10 cases were recorded last year.
“But during the operation, fishermen who carry out fish bombing activities will usually flee and abandon their boat when approached by the MMEA,” he said, adding that among the areas where fish bombing was the main focus was Gaya and Mantanani islands in Kota Belud. Mohd Rosli said the impact of the fish bombing could not only cause the loss of lives but also the destruction of coral reefs and other marine life.
Meanwhile, Mohd Rosli said MMEA also introduced the team’s new uniform which has begun to be worn in Sabah and Sarawak starting last week.
