Abstract

The three-day workshop, jointly organised by CMFRI, the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB) and WWF-India, has brought together 27 enforcement officials from forest departments, police, postal department and Railway Protection Force from west coast states and Lakshadweep, besides scientists, conservationists and policymakers. Participants stressed the need for a holistic conservation strategy combining scientific research, enforcement, policy support and community engagement to strengthen marine wildlife protection. The workshop observed that coordinated action, continuous monitoring and transparent dialogue with fishing communities were essential for effective conservation and enforcement in the marine sector.
