According to this paper, shrimp aquaculture has contributed to a number of environmental and other conflicts. The economic benefits of shrimp aquaculture, in particular, foreign exchange and provision of employment are highly important to the Indian economy, but htere is a need to minimise its social and environmental costs. A number of polkicy measures are recommended some have a focus on mangrove protection. a) The state level committees of Aquaculture Authority should be strengthened through increased involvements of state departments of environment and forests. There needs to be equal consideration of environmental and fisheries interests in the permit system; b) All farms, including existing farms, need to obtain a licence to continue operations. The owners would be required to re-establish mangroves where they existed prior to the development of aquaculture farms; c) The state level committees should have sufficient means to carry out site investigations of all new applications and to conduct regular monitoring visits; d) The state level committees should give more consideration to the Coastal Zone Management Plans and the current concentration of shrimp aquaculture farms in the licencing procedure for new shrimp farms.
