Dong Hung B Commune Police, An Minh District (Kien Giang) said that recently, 4 people voluntarily came to hand over the electric shock device and committed to changing jobs, not reusing this device to exploit aquatic products. This is a testament to the positive change in people's awareness and responsibility towards the ecological environment, contributing to the protection of aquatic resources and ensuring social order and safety in the locality.
Recently, in Dong Hung B commune, the commune police force has coordinated with local authorities to synchronously deploy propaganda and mobilization solutions to raise people's awareness of the consequences of catching aquatic products using electric pulses. The force has distributed leaflets, promoted mobile speakers, through social networks... and increased patrols, control and protection of aquatic resources.
Catching aquatic products using electric pulses is a prohibited act due to its serious damage to the ecological environment and aquatic resources. High-intensity power lines not only destroy large fish but also kill a series of fish, shrimp, crabs and many other aquatic species, disrupting the balance of the natural ecosystem, leading to a decline in aquatic resources. Not only that, the use of electric shock also poses a potential safety risk to the user, which can cause unfortunate accidents, even endangering their lives.
