Goa’s coastline, known for its beauty, is also a hotspot for illegal activities such as smuggling and illegal fishing. The state has seen a number of incidents related to coastal security, with criminals using the long stretches of beaches and isolated areas to conduct illegal activities. Police and coast guard units have been working to monitor and secure the coastline, with a focus on curbing illegal fishing practices that threaten marine life and smuggling operations that bring in contraband goods.
The Goa police, in coordination with the coast guard, have successfully seized large quantities of illegal drugs and contraband in recent months. These operations are crucial, as smuggling routes often use the state’s coastline to bring in illegal goods. Illegal fishing is another major issue, with many operators violating environmental and maritime laws. The Goa police are working to create awareness about the importance of coastal security and to educate the public and fishermen about sustainable practices. Stricter monitoring, surveillance, and stricter laws are in place to protect the coastal environment.
