A joint drive by the Bangladesh Navy and Coast Guard recovered 3.25 million meters of banned nets from the Dangarchar area, valued at Tk 3.12 crore.

The Bangladesh Navy and Coast Guard seized illegal fishing nets worth approximately Tk 3.12 crore during a joint operation along the Karnaphuli River on Sunday.

The drive was part of the government’s 58-day fishing ban and the national Jatka (hilsa fry) conservation program.

Acting on a tip-off, teams raided the 'Sea Heart' warehouse and two abandoned trucks in the Dangarchar area. Officials recovered a total of 3.25 million meters of banned nets during the operation.

Lieutenant Commander Sabbir Alam Sujan, Coast Guard Media Officer, confirmed the details on Monday, stating that the seized nets were later burned and destroyed in the presence of a local fisheries officer. He emphasized that such operations by the Navy and Coast Guard will continue to protect the country's marine resources and prevent illegal fishing.
