Abstract

The study highlights that marine fishermen in Andhra Pradesh have moderate economic motivation but limited engagement with extension services and weak linkages with resource managers and research experts. Low participation in capacity-building programs indicate gaps in knowledge transfer. Strengthening extension outreach, fostering trust, and promoting targeted training and digital tools are essential to enhance adoption of innovations and support sustainable fisheries development. Addressing these socioeconomic and institutional gaps can contribute to more equitable and resilient coastal livelihoods.
