Abstract

The Blue economy document of the Government of India envisages sustainable utilization of marine resources and resulting economic growth, fuelled by technology advancements, suitable policies and good governance keeping in mind environment and conservation aspects also. This will enable the country to march steadily towards the achievement of the UN- Sustainable Development Goal SDG 14 dealing with ‘Life below Water’. Globally, India is the second and fourth largest contributor to aquaculture and capture fisheries sectors, respectively. Good Practices for farming, in open sea as well as land-based units such as Recirculatory Aquaculture Systems and hatcheries for seed production holds the key to a vibrant mariculture sector. Mapping of potential mariculture sites for seaweed and sea cage farming, establishment of mariculture parks, hatcheries and nurseries based on scientific spatial planning technologies, sustainable food value chains and climate-proofing of marine fisheries and mariculture are key focus areas for achieving the goals of a Blue Economy driven growth model. Small-scale fisheries, a significant component of the Indian marine fisheries sector, needs governance and development initiatives that will ensure the benefits reach all stakeholders. The articles in this issue of MFIS highlight contemporary research findings that concern several aspects listed above.
