The fishing ban period in India is a crucial regulatory measure implemented to protect marine biodiversity and ensure sustainable fishing practices. During this time, which typically aligns with the monsoon season, fishing activities are restricted in coastal regions to allow fish stocks to replenish. This period helps in conserving various species, such as the popular Indian mackerel and pomfret, which are vital for the local economy and food security. The ban also supports the livelihoods of fishermen by preventing overfishing and promoting long-term resource availability. |
