Extensive Dredging Devastates Bait Fishing in Malé Region

The yellowfin tuna fishermen's union (BKMU) has raised concerns over dredging by the 'Filippo Brunelleschi' near Ihuru Vabbinfaru, saying it damages bait fishing areas needed for land reclamation projects such as Hulhumalé phase three. A Joint Parliamentary Committee is set to examine the Ras Malé project's environmental impact, where Deputy Speaker Ahmed Saleem noted the existing EIA covers only 29 of the 1,280-hectare Fushidhiggaru lagoon.
