KUWAIT CITY, June 20: The inspection teams of the Environment Public Authority on Saturday carried out a joint campaign with the Environment Police, with the aim of removing environmental encroachments on the beaches, reports Al-Rai daily. During the campaign that targeted the “Marina” beach in Salmiya, the inspection teams recorded three violations, while beach-goers who were mostly committed to the environmental law were strictly instructed with some articles of the law and the great importance of preserving the marine environment.

The Director of the Inspection Department at the authority, Nada Al-Dabbashi, announced that continuous inspection campaigns will be implemented on all Kuwaiti beaches, islands and chalets to monitor beach goers. She added that the authority focuses on implementing Article No. 33 of the Environmental Protection Law, which is concerned with throwing waste in designated places, and Article No. 100 in the event that prohibited hunting tools are used, or harm to wild organisms is observed. She pointed out that the fine ranges from 500 to 5,000 dinars for violating Article No. 100 of the Environmental Protection Law, if it is transferred to the Public Prosecution.
