Coast Guard seizes Sea cucumbers worth Rs 80 lakh

Chennai, Mar 30 (UNI) The Indian Coast Guard seized an illegal consignment of sea cucumbers worth Rs 80 Lakh off South Uchipuli near Rameswaram on Monday.
Acting on an intelligence input about the likely transshipment of illegal contraband off South
Uchipuli seashore near Rameswaram, the Coast Guard’s nearby unit at Mandapam swiftly
launched an anti-smuggling operation.
The intelligence team of the ICGS Mandapam promptly diverted the Air Cushion Vehicle (ACV)
H-197 to conduct extensive surveillance in the area.
During the operation, it sighted and recovered five drums containing sea cucumbers, weighing approximately 200 kg (wet weight). The estimated market value of the seized consignment is approximately Rs 80 lakh, a defence release said.
This successful interception underscores the Indian Coast Guard's unwavering commitment to
anti-smuggling, anti-poaching, and the preservation of marine biodiversity.
The force remains vigilant and proactive in safeguarding marine ecology and protecting illegal exploitation.
The Indian Coast Guard continues to operate with the highest level of alertness and efficiency to prevent such unlawful activities in Indian waters.
