The Directorate-General of Coast Guard in Kuwait has been instructed to carry out sudden inspection campaigns in the Kuwait Bay and surrounding areas to arrest fishermen who violate the fishing law, confiscate the fishing equipment, impound the fishing boats until the owners show up and refer the violators to the deportation center, reports Al- Anba daily quoting a security source.
The source said instructions were issued following the spread of video clips showing large number of Arab and Asian fishermen committing flagrant violations in broad daylight.
