Authorities carried out an operation over the weekend that targeted the influx of illegal Indonesian fishing boats in Australia's northern waters.
The Australian Border Force executed a three-day operation near the Rowley Shoals Marine Park off the northern Western Australian coast where they were able to seize hundreds of kilograms of fishing gear and seafood.
The actions come after local tour operators raised the alarm about dozens of foreign boats in the area, saying they feared piracy during recent trips.
Rear Admiral Mark Hill, who heads the Maritime Border Command says three boats were destroyed and 13 others escorted out of Australian waters.
