I am writing to you about the problem of catching fish in the lake behind my house. I am very worried because people don’t use fishing rod or net but use electricity to catch fish. This is not only dangerous to people around the area, but they do harm to the environment. A lot of small fish died and floated on the water surface. Other animals such as frogs, toads and even birds also died from electric shock waves.
I would suggest that the local authorities should prohibit and fine heavily anyone using this way of catching fish.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing the protection of environment from the local authority.
