Muscat: The Special Economic Zone of Duqm (SEZD) conducted field visits to fish factories to verify the source of fish waste that is being disposed of on a plot overlooking the sea. 

The Special Economic Zone of Duqm said, "Samples of the waste were taken to be verified against the potential sources in order to identify the violators. Legal actions will be taken against the violating individuals or companies causing such illegal disposal of fish waste."
