With increasing oceanic traffic, our local fish started to taste better and deemed healthier by appearance. We build larger ports and birthing bays in support of these increasing traffic. Do we have enough discharging facilities for sewage holding tanks in our ports ? Is there are any measures to determined that the raw sewage (untreated) are not discharge to the shallow water ? (and) why the fish taste better ?

Indian fisherman are robbing all our fish and this has to be stopped first.They should be chased away from our waters and if necessary our Navy should shoot them at sight.
