Operational Crisis at Muharraq Jetty Impacts Bahraini Fishing Sector
What happened
The Muharraq Jetty, the largest fishing hub in Bahrain, is facing operational issues due to severe shortages of available berthing space. The Muharraq Municipal Council has been urged to suspend action against fishermen, many of whom have been fined for docking their boats at the site. The council called for land to be allocated for additional docking facilities to safeguard the livelihoods of fishermen and their families.

Why it matters
The issue affects around 500 fishermen whose boats are currently marked with violation notices. The council stated that the available docking space is insufficient to support the livelihoods of hundreds of Bahraini fishermen and their families. The council unanimously approved a proposal calling for enforcement measures to be halted until a long-term solution is found.
