Dynamite fishing is an illegal and destructive practice that involves using explosives to kill fish in water bodies. This method is prevalent in some parts of India, particularly in coastal regions and inland rivers, where it is used to catch large quantities of fish quickly. However, it causes severe damage to marine ecosystems, including coral reefs, and harms non-target species. In India, local authorities have been working to curb this activity through stricter regulations and community awareness programs. Despite these efforts, dynamite fishing persists due to economic pressures and lack of alternatives for fishermen. |
