As a result, these sea areas may become rough or very rough, making fishing activities in coastal areas extremely hazardous.<\/p><p>Therefore, the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources advises fishermen to refrain from engaging in fishing activities in the sea areas from Matara to Pottuvil and from Chilaw through Kalpitiya to Mannar, and vessels departing from other areas are advised not to enter these hazardous zones. The Department further kindly requests the entire fishing community to pay close attention to future weather advisories and strictly follow all safety instructions.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0af277 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c0af277\"
