Border Guard in Tabuk apprehends two citizens for violating fishing regulations
Coastal patrols affiliated with the Border Guard in Al-Wajh Governorate, Tabuk region, have successfully apprehended two citizens who were engaged in fishing activities without obtaining the necessary permits. This action was taken as part of the security authorities' efforts to preserve marine resources and ensure the safety of practices in the Kingdom's coastal areas.
Authorities explained that the citizens used prohibited fishing gear, which constitutes a direct violation of the security and safety regulations for those practicing marine activities. These regulations emphasize the necessity of adhering to established standards to protect the marine environment and avoid practices that may harm wildlife in the Kingdom's waters.
The competent authorities have taken legal action against the violators, as such cases are handled in accordance with the regulations and laws in force in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These steps aim to strengthen oversight of beaches and marine areas to ensure the enforcement of regulatory rules.
The General Directorate of Border Guard calls on all citizens and residents to adhere to the regulations and instructions regarding marine activities and fishing. It also urges everyone to obtain the required licenses before engaging in any marine activity, in order to avoid legal accountability and preserve the safety of the marine environment in the Kingdom.
