“It saddens me to see that precisely in the Gulf of Eilat, in the area of the Bay of the Sun where many natural values live and there are many sightings of great natural values in danger of extinction, fishing is taking place that puts them at risk,” said Ofer Bar Yanai, a nature lover and photographer. that it wanders among many fishing lines left in the sea. In recent weeks we have seen a number of species that are hardly seen in the bay in the Sun Bay area and it is of great importance to declare the area a nature reserve in order to protect these and other species in the future.
