The abundance of coastal marine living resources in India has made the fisheries sector an important factor in the country’s value process. Fisheries aid in economic security and contribute greatly to national income and export, social security, food and nutritional security, and employment generation. Even though a plethora of legislation addresses the issues relating to fisheries, no comprehensive legislation has been adopted concerning the protection and regulation of traditional fish workers and fishing vessels altogether. Since independence, the developments in the fisheries sector in India have been given prime importance. The past years have seen a sea of changes in the field of fisheries in India, and the need for a new fisheries act is indeed imperative. Despite the major developments and changes in the this sector, the traditional fishers who are the heart and soul of the sector are in much lower socio–economic status. Much has yet to be done in the protection, management, and legal regulation of the traditional fishers through a revamp of the Marine Fisheries Regulation Act’s across the Coastal States in India.
