Abstract
With a coastline exceeding 8000 km and spanning an Exclusive Economic Zone of 2.02 million sq. km, India has a rich and thriving marine biodiversity spanning across several groups from plankton, sponges, corals, seaweeds, crustaceans, fishes and the marine mammals. Several fishing craft-gear combinations operate in the different unique ecosystems within the Indian EEZ providing livelihoods and nutritional security to over 28million stakeholders. A recent analysis of 135 fish stocks (Marine Fish Stock Status of India 2022) in the Indian EEZ concluded that 91.1% were in “healthy” condition with none in “collapsed” category. However, 8.2% were in overfished category highlighting the need for vigil and importance of appropriate science based fisheries management interventions. The lead article in this issue of MFIS highlights new approaches such as passive geo referencing while other communications capture the diversity of the marine fisheries sector in India.
