DHAKA, 29 June 2022, (TON): The Bangladesh Navy detained eight foreign trawlers while they were fishing illegally in the territorial waters of Bangladesh in the deep sea.
Ships and maritime patrol aircraft of the navy have been conducting regular patrols in the Bay of Bengal since May 20 to enforce the government’s 65-day ban on all types of marine fishing.
While patrolling, patrol aircraft identified the location of several foreign fishing trawlers in the Paira Fairway Boya area near the Rabnabad Channel adjacent to Kuakata in Patuakhali.
Later, a naval ship patrolling the deep sea intercepted eight Indian fishing trawlers along with 135 crew members within 36-60 nautical miles (67-111 km) of Bangladesh-India international waters during illegal fishing, said a media release of the Inter-Services Public Relations directorate.
