In this regard, South Hithadhoo constituency member Ibrahim Nazil proposed to identify measures that can be taken to advance the fisheries sector with discussions to be carried with in relation to development projects being carried out in the Maldives and obtain details from the Ministry of Fisheries, Agriculture and Ocean Resources about their vision for development initiatives in the fisheries industry, the causes of the decline in fisheries, and also to visit various regions to meet with fishermen and gather information to determine why the fisheries sector has fallen so significantly, and it was seconded by Kanditheemu Constituency member Ameen Faisal, Upon opening the proposal for voting, it was unanimously passed by all committee members present at the time of voting.
