Abstract

The report aims to achieve the following objectives: i. To assess the current status, techniques, and growth trends in India’s deep-sea fishing sector, highlighting the existing gaps and untapped potential. ii. To identify the critical infrastructure, technological, and sustainability challenges inhibiting India’s growth and development of deep-sea fishing activities. iii. To determine growth opportunities to be unlocked by harnessing the deep-sea fishery resources within the EEZ and international waters. iv. To improve the socio-economic condition of resource users; foster participatory management; ensure equity; strengthen collaboration with regional fisheries organizations. v. To recommend feasible policy interventions at the national and state levels to promote sustainable deep-sea fishing practices, addressing issues such as licensing, incentives, subsidies, and regulatory frameworks. vi. To establish robust monitoring, control, surveillance, and enforcement mechanisms to ensure the long-term sustainability of deep-sea fish stocks and marine ecosystems. vii. To examine global best practices in deep-sea fishing and sustainability measures that can be adopted in the Indian context, considering the unique challenges and opportunities. viii. To develop a roadmap for investments and infrastructure development required to build India’s deep-sea fishing capacity, including fleet modernisation, skill development, and post-harvest facilities.
