The Andaman & Nicobar Islands continue to play a vital role in India’s Blue Economy through sustainable fisheries, marine resource management, and coastal livelihoods. Government initiatives focus on modernizing fishing infrastructure, improving cold storage and fish landing facilities, promoting deep-sea fishing, and supporting fishermen with technology, training, and financial assistance.
Efforts are also being made to encourage sustainable harvesting practices while protecting marine biodiversity and strengthening seafood value chains. These measures aim to enhance income opportunities for local fishing communities, boost seafood exports, and contribute to India’s long-term maritime economic growth.
