In a recent effort to safeguard Abu Dhabi’s marine resources, the owner of a recreational fishing boat was fined Dh20,000 after he/she was found to have caught more fish than allowed under the daily limit, the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) announced.
Recreational fishing boats that exceed the daily catch limit are required to hold a commercial fishing licence, which these recreational vessels typically lack. Fishing without this licence is considered an environmental violation, punishable by a fine of Dh2,000. Repeat offenders face stricter penalties: a second violation results in a one-month 'reservation' of the boat, while a third offence leads to a suspension of the boat’s licence.
By enforcing these regulations, the EAD aims to maintain the health and sustainability of Abu Dhabi’s marine resources, ensuring that they remain viable for future generation.

Recreational boat owners are urged to follow all regulations and law as well as support conservation efforts to prevent further violations and protect marine life.
The UAE has designated different months of the year for fishing different species. These periods are allotted keeping in mind certain breeding seasons and are labelled as 'open season' and 'ban season'.
