The Navy reports the arrest of five Haitians and the confiscation of 200 lbs of small fish that had been caught using unsustainable fishing methods. Two boats were seized for the illegal fishing operation in coastal waters off Manzanillo. The illegal fishermen were arrested off Cayos 7 Hermanos at Punta Presidente area. The arrested Haitians were turned in to the Department of Migration personnel, and the boats and fishing nets were kept by the Navy Base at Manzanillo.

Navy chief Nicolas Cabrera Arias has ordered increased monitoring and control of coastal waters to reduce illegal and indiscriminate fishing, in coordination with the Ministry of Environment.

The Navy also seeks to reduce illegal boat trips to Puerto Rico and other illegal activities at sea.
