In India, local fishing products face several challenges that impact the fishing industry. One major issue is overfishing, which depletes fish stocks and threatens the livelihoods of coastal communities. Additionally, inadequate infrastructure, such as poor storage facilities and transportation, leads to significant post-harvest losses. Pollution from industrial and agricultural sources further degrades water quality, affecting fish health and reducing catches. To address these problems, sustainable practices like regulated fishing seasons and community-based management are being promoted. Local innovations, such as eco-friendly nets and solar-powered cold storage, are also helping to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. By adopting these solutions, India can work towards a more resilient and productive fishing sector. |
