Bangladesh enforces a two-month hilsa fishing ban in six districts to protect fish stocks, with aid for affected families.
A two-month hilsa fishing ban has started in five sanctuaries across six Bangladeshi districts, affecting 432 kilometers of rivers including the Meghna and Tetulia, to protect juvenile fish and boost fish stocks.
The restriction, in effect from March 1 to April 30, 2026, applies to areas in Barishal, Bhola, Patuakhali, Chandpur, Lakshmipur, and Shariatpur, with enforcement by naval and fisheries authorities.
Over 422,000 fishing families in Barishal will receive 40 kilograms of rice monthly through the VGF program.
Fishers are urging expanded aid and loan relief ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr, citing delays in food and identity card distribution.
Violations carry up to two years in prison and fines.
