Border Guard detains four for illegal fishing off Al-Qunfudhah

Four individuals from Myanmar and Bangladesh were apprehended by Border Guard patrols near Al-Qunfudhah for engaging in illegal fishing practices and utilizing equipment that was prohibited. The Border Guard's coastal patrols in Al-Qunfudhah, located in the Makkah region, apprehended the four suspects for breaching maritime safety and security guidelines within Saudi Arabia's territorial waters.

The Border Guard reported that the offenders were discovered to be operating without the necessary fishing permits and using equipment that was not permissible. Legal consequences have been imposed on the four individuals in collaboration with the appropriate agencies. The Border Guard emphasized the importance of the public adhering to regulations designed to safeguard aquatic resources and to report any activities that could harm the environment or wildlife.

Such reports can be submitted by dialing 911 in the Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and Eastern regions, or 994 in the remainder of the Kingdom. All reports are kept confidential, and callers are assured of no liability.
