A fisheries investigation has been launched in Papua New Guinea following the emergence of a video appearing to show deceased dolphins caught in the net of a foreign-owned fishing vessel. The incident occurred off the coast of Manus Province, prompting concerns about fishing practices and their impact on marine life. Authorities are investigating the vessel and its operations to determine responsibility and potential violations of fisheries regulations. Significant fines could be imposed if the company is found to be in breach of the law. The video’s release has sparked public outcry and increased scrutiny of foreign fishing activities within PNG’s exclusive economic zone. Further details regarding the species of dolphins and the circumstances surrounding their deaths are currently under investigation. The Fisheries department has not yet released the name of the vessel or the country of origin.
