NEW FISHING BOAT UPGRADE
Sattahip Chief District Officer Parinya Potisat made an announcement on the afternoon of Thursday, 9th July about the rumors going around that local fishermen were not out catching fish because apparently there were no fish to catch. The reason that a number of fishermen have been holding back from going out to sea is because their boats have not yet passed new standard requirements of a Fishing Act by the IUU. Boats over 30 tons have a further 15 days to upgrade in compliance with the Fishery Act. Meanwhile, seafood is still plentiful in the area.
