The real crisis in India’s fisheries

India's fisheries are facing a crisis due to the degradation of inshore fishing grounds. This issue is separate from the official claims that most of the country's marine fish stocks are sustainable. The real challenge lies in stronger governance of coastal waters and better management of mechanised trawling, which are essential for truly sustainable fisheries. If left unaddressed, this crisis could have significant economic and environmental implications for India's fishing industry.

Why it matters

India's marine fish stocks are degrading, which could impact the fisheries industry. This degradation may lead to decreased fish stocks and negatively affect the livelihoods of people dependent on fishing.
