Online Petition Against Government’s Plan to Reintroduce Longline Fishing Gains Over 9,500 Signatures
An online petition organised by The Ocean Alliance and the Bodu Kanneli Masveringe Union opposing the Mohamed Muizzu administration's plan to reintroduce longline fishing in Maldivian waters has gathered more than 9,500 signatures. Fisheries Minister Ahmed Shiyam has defended the plan as a way to use allocated yellowfin tuna quotas set by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission, while critics warn of bycatch harm to the marine ecosystem and negative effects on tourism and pole-and-line fisheries.
