Title: Marine Fisheries Census 2005 Part III(6)Kerala
Abstract: For an informed management regime to ensure sustainability of the marine
fisheries, it is essential not only to have reliable information on the status of marine
fish resources along with fishing effort expended but also the number of fishing villages,
landing centres, fisherfolk population, their occupation status, fishing crafts, fishing
gears and other related parameters. With this objective, the Central Marine Fisheries
Research Institute (CMFRI), Cochin has been conducting frame surveys at periodic
intervals. Marine fisheries census on an all India basis was last conducted by CMFRI
during May – July, 1980. Since the last census, the marine fisheries in India have
witnessed both qualitative and quantitative changes. Post 1980 was also been a
period where a number of management/policy interventions were made by the
Government of India and the maritime states for ensuring sustainability, conservation
of resources and to protect the interests of artisanal fishermen.
