In Tamil Nadu, the fishing ban period for 2025 is expected to be implemented to protect marine resources and support sustainable fishing practices. This ban typically occurs during the monsoon season to allow fish breeding and replenishment of stocks. During this time, local fishermen rely on alternative products such as dried fish, which is a traditional staple in the region. Dried fish, known as \“Karuvadu\“ in Tamil, is produced by sun-drying fresh catch before the ban, providing a source of income and nutrition. Additionally, Tamil Nadu is known for its handcrafted fishing nets made from natural fibers, which are used by artisanal fishers. These local products help sustain communities during the ban, promoting eco-friendly methods and preserving cultural heritage. |
