Commercial fishing significantly impacts marine life in India, leading to overfishing and habitat destruction. For example, Indian shrimp products, such as those from Kerala and Tamil Nadu, are widely exported but often involve unsustainable practices that harm local ecosystems. Additionally, Indian tuna and mackerel fisheries contribute to bycatch issues, affecting dolphins and sea turtles. The use of large nets in regions like the Arabian Sea further degrades coral reefs and seagrass beds, threatening biodiversity. Efforts to promote sustainable fishing, such as certification programs for Indian seafood, are emerging to address these challenges. |
