The majority of 827 seine nets that are in operation in Sri Lanka, particularly the fishermen in the Southern Province, continue to engage in traditional fishing using human labor without any difficulty,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Damage caused by the use of machinery:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Director General, the use of winches and tractors has resulted in the following environmental and social issues:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Destruction of the seabed:<\/strong>\u00a0The use of fishing nets exceeding the legally permitted size, along with heavy weights, has caused significant damage to coral reefs and fish breeding habitats.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Coastal erosion:<\/strong>\u00a0The operation of heavy machinery along coastal areas has contributed to shoreline erosion and the degradation of sensitive coastal ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disruption to small-scale fishermen:<\/strong>\u00a0The expansion of fishing activities beyond designated limits has obstructed the livelihoods of small-scale fishermen and owners of traditional fishing vessels.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is being carried out in the name of modern technology is both illegal and environmentally destructive. It is our collective duty to safeguard traditional fishing practices and protect marine resources,\u201d Mr. Kahawatte stressed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accordingly, the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources has appealed to all net owners and fishermen to engage in the seine fishing industry within the existing legal framework, ensuring that neither the environment nor fellow fishermen are adversely affected.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protect the Traditional
