Go light blue, Penang fishermen told

A different colour of fishermen’s boats for every state is a measure to identify local fishermen, says Noraisyah.

PENANG Fisheries Department has called on fishermen units and associations in the state to assist local fishermen in painting their boats light blue as recommended by the department at the national level.

Its director Noraisyah Abu Bakar said the introduction of a different colour of fishermen’s boats for every state was a measure to identify local fishermen and protect their fishing grounds against the encroachment by fishermen from other states and foreign fishing vessels.
