The Director General noted that sea areas from Puttalam to Chilaw, and from Galle and Matara to Hambantota, may experience rough conditions at times.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting further on the situation, Mr. Susantha Kahawatte said:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;As per the current situation, we are not imposing a ban on fishing activities. However, small vessel owners operating in coastal waters are advised to remain vigilant and closely monitor weather updates. If the sea conditions become rough, they are strongly urged to return to shore immediately or refrain from setting out. In particular, we emphasize that wearing life jackets is mandatory throughout the entire period\u2014from departing for fishing activities, during work at sea, and until safely returning to shore. Multi-day fishing vessels may continue to depart from and arrive at ports as usual.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fisheries Department has further urged the entire fishing community to closely follow weather forecasts issued periodically by the Department of Meteorology and the Department of Fisheries, and to take all necessary precautions to safeguard their lives and property.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-534e9fc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"534e9fc\" data-element_type=\"container\"
