Abstract

To promote sustainable fishing and improve the livelihood of fishermen, the union government has decided to replicate Tamil Nadu’s successful model of setting up artificial reefs in 3,477 villages along coastlines across the country. Artificial reefs deployed in 131 places along the state’s coast, with the assistance of the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), have led to a four-to-sevenfold jump in fish production, sources said. The primary beneficiaries of the initiative are small and traditional fishermen. CMFRI scientist Joe K Kizhakudan, who deployed the reefs, said that the union government’s Department of Fisheries had chosen the Tamil Nadu model after multiple rounds of talks and performance analysis.
