In the tranquil waters off the coast, a seemingly routine fishing expedition quickly turned chaotic as a net dragged through the water, disrupting the marine ecosystem. The serene scene was abruptly shattered by a violent eruption of mud and debris, signifying the destructive impact of the fishing activity on the underwater world. Rays, various fish species, and even a squid were violently uprooted from their natural habitat in the churning cloud of mud.

This incident sheds light on the often unseen consequences of commercial fishing practices on marine life. The delicate balance of the ocean ecosystem is easily disrupted by such indiscriminate fishing methods, causing harm not only to the targeted species but also to the entire food chain. The long-term effects of such activities can be devastating, leading to population declines and ecological imbalances.

Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, emphasized the importance of sustainable fishing practices and the need for stricter regulations to protect marine biodiversity. He highlighted the urgent need for increased awareness among fishermen and policymakers to ensure the preservation of our oceans for future generations.
