The fishing ban period in Tamil Nadu for 2024 is an important conservation measure implemented by the state government to protect marine resources and ensure sustainable fishing practices. This annual ban typically occurs during the monsoon season when fish breeding activity is at its peak.
During this period, which usually lasts for 61 days from April to June, mechanized fishing vessels are prohibited from operating in the coastal waters. However, traditional fishermen using non-mechanized boats are often exempted from this ban to support local livelihoods. The ban helps in the regeneration of fish stocks and maintains ecological balance in the marine ecosystem.
The Tamil Nadu fisheries department closely monitors compliance with the ban and provides support to affected fishing communities through various welfare schemes. This proactive approach ensures that both marine conservation and fishermen\“s welfare are addressed simultaneously. |
