rafidainscope - The Iraqi Fishermen Association has warned against the widespread use of destructive net fishing, known locally as "Al-Doush", in natural water bodies, emphasizing that it poses a severe threat to migratory and native bird species and exhausts biodiversity.
The association stressed that these illegal practices result in the unintended capture of vast numbers of birds, disrupting the ecological balance. It called on environmental and security authorities to enforce strict field monitoring, apply legal penalties against violators, and protect wildlife habitats.
