As this condition is extremely hazardous for fishing activities in coastal areas, small vessels engaged in one-day and coastal fishing activities departing from these areas are strongly advised not to venture out to sea for fishing activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, fishing vessels departing for fishing activities from other areas where no hazardous conditions have been reported are also specifically advised not to engage in fishing activities within the designated hazardous sea zone from Matara to Pottuvil.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources kindly requests all fishermen to remain constantly attentive to the prevailing weather conditions and the weather forecasts \u00a0that will be issued in the future, and to act responsibly by
