Anti fine-mesh nets

A network of local fishermen, along with community members, submitted a letter to Senate members requesting a review of the amendments to the Fishery Act. They expressed concern about the potential approval of using fine-mesh nets to catch fish at night, arguing that this would lead to a disaster for the marine ecosystem by catching small juvenile fish, which would harm their growth and threaten the extinction of economically important fish species. The group also organized a fish grilling event in front of the parliament on January 13, 2024. . Photos by Tananchai Keawsowattana / ธนัญชัย แก้วโสวัฒนะ / Thai News Pix
