Destructive fishing practices in India have severe impacts on marine ecosystems and local livelihoods. These methods, such as bottom trawling and the use of explosives, damage coral reefs and deplete fish stocks, threatening the sustainability of India\“s coastal communities.
In response, India has promoted sustainable alternatives, including the use of eco-friendly fishing gear and community-based management. These efforts help protect marine biodiversity while supporting the local economy through responsible fishing practices. |
