polythene carry bags

Description Use of polythene carry bags is increasing
tremendously in recent days especially in the
coastal areas. After use, these are discarded and
finally reach sea through river mouth. Studies
conducted by CMFRI reveal that considerable
quantities of plastic and other non-biodegradable
objects are strewn around not only in beaches but
also are recovered from fishing grounds while
trawling (30-60.2 g/trawl). Knowing the ill effects
of indiscriminate use and discards of polythene
carry bags, the fishermen of Azhikode south
unanimously have taken a decision to avoid the
use of polythene carry bags for transportation of
their share of fish for daily consumption after their
work.
