Abstract

India with its 11098 km coastline and a 2.4 million square km of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) holds immense potential to transform the national economy by providing livelihoods, nutritional security and foreign exchange earnings through the sustainable harvests and processing of its living resources. To facilitate well informed and effective policies that will ensure the development and welfare of the stakeholders in the fisheries sector, databases are vital. The mammoth exercise of the Marine Fisheries Census 2025 aiming to cover around 1.2 million households in 3500 fishing villages led by ICAR-CMFRI and funded by the Department of Fisheries, Govt. of India is going to be unique in several ways. Eco-friendly sea-farming technologies with resources like seaweeds and shellfishes such as oysters and mussels are gaining traction and emerging as models for sustainable coastal livelihoods besides contributing to the Blue Economy goals. This issue of MFIS highlights some of the works in progress on these topics in ICAR-CMFRI.
