The Minister of Environment in the caretaker government, Nasser Yassin, tweeted on his official account, saying: "I sent news to the environmental public prosecutor in the north regarding the use of dynamite in fishing along the coast opposite Al-Abdeh and El-Minya, and this illegal fishing is widespread in several areas." He added: "I will follow up with Minister of Agriculture Abbas Al-Haj Hassan to halt these practices due to their significant harm to the marine environment and the killing of fish, as they also pose a danger to the fishermen themselves."
