(PTI) The Kerala government has announced a 52-day-border ban across the coastal waters of the state, which is in effect from midnight on June 9 on July 31. The annual Trawling ban is part of the state’s efforts to manage marine conservation and fishing resource. According to Ani, the decision was finalized at a cabinet meeting on June 5. During this period, mechanized fishing will be prohibited, although traditional fishing boats will be allowed with inside -collar boats. Inboarding boats placed engines in the skirt of the boat. Guidelines to be followed during prohibition have ordered the authorities the coastal police and district collectors to ensure that all fishing boats vacate Kerala’s coast outside the state of the state before the ban comes into effect. The fisheries section emphasized that all inner boats must be equipped with essential safety equipment. During the ban, trawlers must remain at least 12 nautical miles abroad. The offenders will face fines of the Department of Fisheries and other relevant agencies. To compensate the financial impact on trawler workers, the state government promised to provide assistance, including rations and subsidies, as reported by Ani. Why is this ban imposed? The ban is aimed at protecting fish populations and preventing fish during their important breeding season. Specifically, it is aimed at the trawling of the bottom, a method known to harm the seabed and capturing young fish. The 52 -day limitation will help preserve marine ecosystems and fish stockṣ. This is in line with the breeding cycles of various economically significant fish species. According to a report from the Hindu, there are 6.233 registered vessels in the Kozhikode district Kerala alone. Out of them, 552 are mechanized fishing boats, 173 are boats with inside engines, 5.098 are boats with outboard engines, and 410 are boats without engines. A total of 119 boats from other districts also work in Kozhikode. What is trawling?
