Blast fishing is a destructive method used in some parts of India, where explosives are detonated underwater to stun or kill fish for easy collection. This practice severely damages marine ecosystems, including coral reefs and other aquatic life, leading to long-term environmental degradation. In India, local authorities have implemented regulations to curb blast fishing, but enforcement remains a challenge in remote coastal areas. Efforts are underway to promote sustainable fishing alternatives to protect biodiversity and support local communities. |
