Large numbers of “shrimp” die in Mahra shores

MAHRA, Jan. 18 (YPA)- The coasts of Mahra governorate in eastern Yemen, have witnessed the death of large numbers of shrimps.

This was reported by Yemen News Portal on Thursday, based on testimonies of local sources.

According to sources, tons of dead shrimp spread along the beaches of Hawf district, east of Al-Mahra governorate, for kilometers.

The incident raised fears of marine pollution that caused the death of huge quantities of shrimp and other marine creatures, as foreign warships present near the coast of the directorate, which disposes of their toxic waste in Yemeni waters, in the complete absence of an official role in uncovering the causes.
