Shrimp Fishing Begins Today
Chairman of Kuwait Fishermen Union Zaher Al-Souyan confirmed resumption of shrimp fishing in international waters on Aug 1, wishing all fishermen good luck.
Al-Souyan disclosed the union was surprised by the decision of the Borders General Department requiring fishermen to hold their passports while getting in and out of international waters to fish shrimps. He pointed out that earlier, they were allowed to fish in international waters just by holding their civil identification cards.
He then advised all fishermen to hold their passports, stressing the need to have their passports sealed each time they leave and return from fishing in international waters.
He was quick to clarify though that the decision on obligating fishermen to hold their passports was cancelled for this season due to certain problems, including the escape of some fishermen because they were holding their passports. He revealed this caused enormous losses to Kuwaiti fishermen as their boats were suspended for one year.
He added that after suspending shrimp fishing, a mechanism was implemented to seal a document authorized by the Borders General Directorate and obligating the fishermen to hold their original civil identification cards instead of their passports.
He disclosed Borders General Department’s decision infuriated fishermen, indicating the decision will prompt a large number of fishermen to desert this profession and search for another.
He called on the Borders General Department to revise the decision because once it is implemented, they will not be able to meet the consumers’ demand for shrimps.
