dc.description.abstractMarine 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. As many as 14.48 million people in the country depend on fisheries sector for their livelihood. There were about 1,04,270 traditional fishing crafts, 75,591 motorised crafts and 58,911 mechanised crafts totaling 2,38,772 fishing crafts operating in Indian waters (CMFRI, 2006). In spite of the significant increase in fishing capacity and introduction of new technologies, there has been a perceptible trend of stagnation in capture fish production in recent years (GIFT, 2007: Bhathal and Pauly, 2008). The stagnation of fish production is a pointer towards the need for not only the use of conservation methods but also the implementation of coastal fishing management programs including adoption of responsible fishing techniques in order to sustain the fishery resources.en_US
