30 fishing licenses issued during fish reproduction period

Salah Helal, the Agriculture and Land Reclamation Minister, announced that 30 fishing licenses for boats in the South Sinai governorate would be issued during the fish reproduction period.
 
The ministry had earlier announced that fishing was banned in the Red Sea during the reproduction period, indicating that fishermen would be compensated by the government during that period.
 
A joint committee between the Red Sea Ports Authority, the General Authority for Fish Resources Development and the Governorate of South Sinai will be formed to develop the Kilani fishing port, said the minister in a statement Tuesday.
 
He also called for the immediate establishment of a factory to store fish at the port in order to increase productivity at the port by 400 percent.
