The Kalpitiya Special Police unit has today found 13 lobsters caught by fishermen from the Kalpitiya lagoon.

The two netted storage boxes that contained the lobsters were found submerged in the lagoon. Fishing, possession, transportation and selling lobsters are illegal during this period as it is their breeding season. No suspects have been arrested yet. The lobsters are due to be released to the sea as ordered by the Puttlam district courts. (PK)
