Abstract
India is endowed with a wide diversity of water resources, which sustain a large fisheries sector in the country. India has a coastline of 8,118 km with an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) stretching over 2.02 million sq. km, and a continental shelf covering 0.53 million sq.km.Fisheries have a very important role for food supply, nutritional security and livelihood in India. The sector is one of the important revenue-earning and employment-opportunity sectors, contributing significantly to the economy of the country. Marine fisheries in India are a shared responsibility between the national and state governments. In a legal and constitutional sense, state governments are responsible for waters inside the 12 nautical mile territorial limit (22 km) while the Government of India (GOI) is responsible for waters between 12 nautical miles and the country’s 200 nautical mile (370 km) EEZ.
