Abstract

The ban on shark fishing under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF), Government of India, came as bolt from the blue for the entire fisheries sector of India. In a Gazette notification dated 11 July 2001, the government has included 60 different items caught or removed from the sea under Schedule 1 of the Wildlife Protection Act. The items include certain types of coral, a wide range of mollusc species, including chanks (conch shells), sea horses and the giant grouper.
