Kuwaiti Federation of Fishermen head Dhaher Al-Soyyan urged officials to act quickly to prevent the fishing sector from collapsing due to a severe labor shortage.

Since fishing seasons are approaching, Al-Soyyan emphasized that entry visas should be opened for fishermen. Many boats lack workers due to a lack of workers. Failure to address the labor shortage will result in a shortage of local marine products and a fish price rise. Since fishing labor isn't readily available on the local market, Al-Soyyan urged officials to ease the suffering of license holders by allowing replacement workers to be recruited.
