Amended Fisheries Act will better protect our seas, sea-produce, says Mat Sabu

KUALA LUMPUR: Major amendments in the Fisheries Act 1985 (Act 317) will set higher penalties on those who go against the Act and stricter checks on sea hauls, including turtles, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.

The Agriculture and Food Security Minister said that the amendments will go through its First Reading in Parliament in the coming session next week.
