KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah and Labuan Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) recently seized a tugboat that was carrying out fishing activities 1.2 nautical miles northwest of Tanjung Kunit, Pulau Usukan waters at Kota Belud district.
The vessel, which had about 700kg of fish caught on board during inspection, violated its license terms for towing under the 3 nautical mile limit and committed an offence under the Fisheries Act 1985 for fishing less than 12 nautical miles as permitted.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
