Subject: Illegal Fishing in River Zuari

Madam/ Sir,
There are fresh spate of illegal fishing by trawlers and mini purse seine boats in Zuari river as under:
1.    Every night there is illegal fishing by trawlers and mini purse seine boats between 8.30 pm to 3.30 pm. Number of boats range between two to eight.
2.    On 30/03/2018 at 7.30 am thirty five mini purse seine boats carried on illegal fishing. It was Good Friday Holiday.
3.    On 29/03/2018 at 6.00 am eight mini purse seine boats carried on illegal fishing in Zuari.
4.    On 28/03/2018 at 10.00 pm eight trawlers carried on illegal fishing in Zuari
All the four cases mentioned above indicate failure of surveillance system of the Fisheries Department as well of Goa Police. We call upon you
1.    To immediately tighten up the security measures and stop ongoing illegalities.
2.    Efficient co-ordination between police and Fisheries department.
3.    Involve Goa University, Colleges, Schools and other educational institutions in Goa to create awareness about ethical fishing and protection of rivers from purse seine and trawler fishing which is ecologically dangerous.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
