India Introduces New Regulatory Permit Regime to Boost Sustainable Deep-Sea Fishing
This new regulatory framework grants Indian commercial fishing vessels the permit to harvest resources in India's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and the high seas.
The policy aims to enhance fishermen’s livelihoods, boost India's seafood export revenues, and sustainably scale up operations beyond the traditional 40-50 nautical mile zone.
Blue economy initiatives are core to both environmental and economic policies, making this a highly relevant topic for UPSC and State PSC exams.
