SCE announces lifting fishing ban of Safi, Shaari, Andag fish
The ban, which began in early April, forms part of national efforts to protect marine resources and promote their sustainability.
The SCE underscored the General Directorate of Marine Resources' commitment to preserving marine biodiversity and regulating fishing activities in line with international environmental standards, to maintain a balance between economic utilisation and long-term sustainability of marine resources.
The SCE clarified that the ban was implemented under Edict (2) of 2024 concerning the prohibition of catching Shaari, Safi, and Andag fish. The measure was introduced to safeguard fish stocks and support environmental balance, contributing directly to the rehabilitation of marine ecosystems and ensuring the sustainability of marine resources for future generations.
The directorate commended the efforts of partner entities involved in monitoring and enforcement during the ban period and emphasised the importance of continued cooperation with regulatory authorities to achieve the national goals of protecting marine biodiversity and reinforcing the sustainability of marine resources.
