To,

Director of Fisheries, 

Government of Goa,

Panaji, Goa.

Subject: Rampant illegal trawling in Zuari river

Sir,

This is to bring to your attention rampant illegal trawler fishing in Zuari river specially during might time over past one month.

Members of All Goa Small Scale Responsible Fisheries Union and other fishermen on Zuari coast have repeatedly brought this to your attention with phone calls to Fisheries Control room. 

We however are disappointed over continued instances of such illegal trawler fishing in spite of all our phone calls to the fisheries control room.

Kindly initiate stringent actions against such marauding trawlers immidiately as their act also constituted Contempt of Court in Goa Bench of Bombay High Court judgment in All Goa Small Scale Responsible Fisheries Union VS Government of Goa.

Thank you.

Yours truly,

Shaila D'mello
