Abstract

Intending to utilize India's marine wealth sustainably, the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) has put forth a comprehensive set of policy recommendations, advocating the introduction of central legislation – the Marine Fishery Act. The proposed act aims to regulate fishing activities beyond territorial waters, addressing existing policy and legislative gaps and establishing a framework for sustainable practices. Dr A Gopalakrishnan, Director of CMFRI, presented these proposals during a national workshop organized by NITI Aayog at CMFRI on Friday. Besides, referring to the recent debate on the certification of Indian marine fisheries, CMFRI suggested a national guideline on the eco-labelling of marine fishery resources. “Private investments must be made competitive and subject to regulations to safeguard the livelihoods of small-scale fishers and entrepreneurs in the post-harvest sector”, CMFRI Director said.
