The Fiji Navy Maritime Law Enforcement Operations including Forward Base West, Navy personnel and partner agencies apprehended several suspected vessels involved in illegal fishing activities.

The Fiji Navy says that a significant operation conducted revealed the use of dynamite, a highly destructive and illegal method of fishing that poses severe risks to marine ecosystems.
