Abstract

Henceforth, new trawlers may not get registration for carrying out fishing activities in Indian waters if the recommendations of the national workshop on Sustainable Development Goal-14 (SDG) organised by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) and WWF-India are indeed taken to their logical conclusion. The other major recommendations in the action plan formulated by experts in the sector, include a proposal for setting up marine parks, community reserves and protected zones; uniform Minimum Legal Size (MLS) restrictions on all coastal states and Union Territories (UT) to prevent/avoid juvenile fishing and Ocean Regulation Management Act to bring uniformity in fishing in Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
