Fish poaching: Torre Annunziata port and coastal road patrolled by patrol boats and divers from the Carabinieri of Torre Annunziata and the Naples Diving Unit.
The coastal area is under control, where the military has combed through dozens of boats and identified many of the fishermen positioned in the sea and along the cliffs.
2 people were fined for being caught illegally practicing underwater fishing near the western pier of the commercial port.
For the two divers fines for over 4 thousand euros. Seized 2 rifles armed with steel shafts and other diving tools. Maximum attention also for illegal traps often positioned on the seabed, signaled by light transmitters.
The divers of the Arma have explored the perimeter of the cliffs, detecting 2 illegal markers and some nets placed by illegal fishermen.
“Fish poaching” practices in the waters facing the port are not rare and for this reason the Carabinieri have monitored the coasts also with night services. In the crosshairs especially the fishermen who use explosives and who indiscriminately damage fauna and marine habitat.
9 fines issued to as many vessels for speeding near the coast beyond the permitted limits, lack of on-board documents, lack of safety equipment and lack of authorization to anchor.
