- ItemExtension education for conservation and sustainability of coastal resources(Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), 2010)Marine fisheries sector forms the source of livelihood for over 7 million traditional fishermen inhabiting in over 3600 coastal fishing villages situated along the country's coastal belt of 8118 km (DAHDF, 2009). Besides, the sector provides direct and indirect employment for several million of coastal population in fishing, processing, trading and ancillary activities.
