Abstract

The Workshop to discuss the 2002 Marine Fishing Policy (Draft) of India, was held at the Animation Centre, Kovalam, from 15 to 17 July 2004. The Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, had recently made available the Draft Policy to the National Fishworkers’ Forum (NFF), for discussion. The participants were the national and state-level leaders of the NFF. All maritime states of India were represented except Goa and the Union Territories. The Draft Policy of the Government of India was introduced. It was proposed at the outset that the title of the document should read ‘Marine Fisheries Policy’ rather than ‘Marine Fishing Policy’ of India since the scope of the document included fisheries issues. The rationale for a national fisheries policy should be clear, it was suggested. There is need for coherent and acceptable definition of fishery-related terms in the Draft Policy document, it was proposed.
