Fishermen trawl under Israeli navy scrutiny

a CNN article dated November 10, 2009

Highlights are the same as in 2005:

  • Israeli navy keep watchful eye on Gaza fishermen
  • They are only allowed to work three nautical miles off shore
  • Fishermen say they risk being fired on by the navy if they break the limit
Acc to the article they are now 3500 fishermen in Gaza, compared to 2500 registered when i did my research work...if this is true, there are now more fishers for the same or fewer resources.
