Marine fisheries regulation Act’s across the coastal states in India: A critique on regulation of traditional fishers
Authors
Dr. Ann Loretta Correya
Abstract
The abundance of coastal marine living
resources in India has made the fisheries sector an important factor in the
country’s value process. Fisheries aid in economic security and contribute
greatly to national income and export, social security, food and nutritional
security, and employment generation. Even though a plethora of legislation
addresses the issues relating to fisheries, no comprehensive legislation has
been adopted concerning the protection and regulation of traditional fish
workers and fishing vessels altogether. Since independence, the developments in
the fisheries sector in India have been given prime importance. The past years
have seen a sea of changes in the field of fisheries in India, and the need for
a new fisheries act is indeed imperative. Despite the major developments and
changes in the this sector, the traditional fishers who are the heart and soul
of the sector are in much lower socio–economic status. Much has yet to be done
in the protection, management, and legal regulation of the traditional fishers
through a revamp of the Marine Fisheries Regulation Act’s across the Coastal
States in India.
