What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Supreme Court mandated coastal states to form coordination committees for coastal protection in Goa. A state coordination committee subsequently reviewed standard operating procedures for sea turtle protection. The committee decided to intensify night patrolling along turtle-nesting sites and launch a drive to collect discarded fishing nets, which will be recycled through Goa Waste Management Corporation and authorized recyclers. Furthermore, the fisheries department was directed to enforce the installation of turtle excluder devices in trawl nets used by all fishing vessels.
