Law-enforcement officers tow away boats used for illegal fishing in Shenzhen Bay yesterday. A team comprised of more than 200 officers from several government departments seized 16 boats and more than 12,000 meters of fishing nets in a crackdown on illegal fishing. Fishing is banned in designated areas of the polluted Shenzhen Bay. Various law enforcement departments are combining efforts to protect the Futian Mangrove Nature Reserve on the northeastern part of the bay and prevent contaminated fish from reaching residents’ dinner tables.
