Comprehensive Marine Fishing Policy
The policy objectives are:
to augment marine fish production of the country up to
the sustainable level in a responsible manner so as to
boost export of sea food from the country and also to
increase per capita fish protein intake of the masses,
to ensure socio-economic security of the artisanal
fishermen whose livelihood solely depends on this
vocation.
to ensure sustainable development of marine fisheries
with due concern for ecological integrity and bio
diversity.
MAIN FEATURES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE MARINE FISHING
POLICY (CMFP)
Harmonized development of coastal and deep sea sectors
Ensure sustainable development of marine fisheries
Lay down norms for making EEZ a limited access fishery
Evolve procedures for monitoring and control of fishing operations
Sensitizing the stake holders about the need for Code of Conduct for
Responsible Fisheries (CCRF)
To curb Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing
To manage fishing capacity to prevent over capitalization in the sector and
over exploitation of resources
To be responsive to regional and international regimes in Marine Fisheries
Conservations and Management.
Address the requirements of ancillary and Complementary activities such
as post harvest care, marketing etc.
Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs)
· Regions of ocean space encompassing
coastal areas from river basins and
estuaries to the seaward boundaries of
continental shelves and the outer margins
of the major coastal currents
· Relatively larger regions of the order of
200,000 sq km or more
Large Marine Ecosystems
(LMEs)
· Characterized by distinct:
Bathymetry
Hydrography
Productivity
Trophically dependent populations
LMEs:
· Globally there are 64 identified LMEs
· Produce 95% of the world's annual
marine fishery biomass yields
Bay of Bengal (BOB):
· One of the world's 64 LMEs
· Bounded by 8 countries viz. Bangladesh,
India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives,
Myanmar, Sri Lanka & Thailand
· Southern part merges into the Indian
Ocean
Bay of Bengal (BOB):
· About 20% of world's population resides
in the littoral countries of BOB
· Approximately 400 million living in the
Bay's catchment area
Project Overview
· Structured into five inter-linking
components:
· Strategic Action Programme, including
Trans-boundary issues.
· Coastal/marine national resources
management and sustainable use.
· Improved understanding and predictability
of the ecosystem.
· Maintenance of ecosystem, health and
management of pollution.
· Project management.
India's interests
· Development of Regional Fishery
Management Plan for Shark.
· Development of Sub-regional Fishery
Management Plan for Indian Mackerel.
· Development of Sub-regional Fishery
Management Plan for Hilsa & other
migratory species.
Project Outcome
· a finalized trans-boundary diagnostic analysis,
· agreed strategic action programme,
· institutional arrangements to support the
continued development,
· improved well being of rural fisher communities,
· establishment and monitoring of basic health
indicators in the BOBLME area,
· capacity building to manage the resources, etc
Commitments:
· India earlier agreed for total contribution of:
US $ 600,000 in cash
US $ 430,000 in kind
For 6 years period
· Later the project cost was scaled down and the
project duration was reduced to 5 years
· Contribution to the revised project now would be
US $ 55,000/- p. a. in cash for a period of 5 years
US $ 87,500/- p. a. in kind contribution of about
Cash Contribution
· Cash contribution would cover:
cost of full time contracted National Technical
Advisor / National Technical Assistant and
Secretary, pro-rata proportion of the salary of
the National Coordinator, associated
communication and facilities, project related
workshops, etc.
In kind Contributions
· In kind contribution would cover:
expenses of the National counterparts, the
project Steering Committee Members,
National Task Force Members, staff and
consultants and pro-rata cost of office space
of National Coordinator, National Technical
Advisor, etc.
Progress so far
· Project Document was signed on 22nd
January, 2009
· FAO was provided with the signature page
· Joint Secretary (Fisheries) was designated
as focal point for implementation of
BOBLME Project.
Progress so far
· An amount of Rs. 2.500 million has been
provided for the BOBLME project in the
budget during 2009-10.
· The inception workshop was held in
Colombo, Sri Lanka along with the APFIC
Regional Workshop on Ecosystem
Approach in Fisheries & Aquaculture
during 18-22 May, 2009.
Progress so far
· India's representative attended the
meeting, where working arrangements for
the project were further discussed.
· Nominations of the Indian representatives
for the Project Steering Committee and
National task force etc. is under process.
