Oman's Agricultural Ministry warns fishermen against debris at sea

Muscat: The Ministry of Agricultural, Fisheries and Water Resources has warned fishermen to take caution during fishing trips due to the presence of waste materials in the sea and near the beaches that were washed away by torrential rains.

"We would like to warn fishermen who own boats to be careful during the fishing trip due to the presence of solid materials and waste in the sea and near the beaches that were washed away by torrential rains, such as electricity poles, palm trunks and other materials that can cause accidents and damage to boats," the Ministry said in a statement.
