It is a sad situation. If you look at the trawllers, the nets virtually scrape the bottom of the sea floor and everything is taken in. Apart from the few species of fish that are edible, the other species of fish, sea snakes, turtles etc are all caught and die in the nets.

Indiscriminate fishing throughout the year wipes away many species. Most of the times the local officials are either not serious enough to enforce the fishing ban or simply turn a blind eye.
