The Directorate of Fisheries, Andaman and Nicobar (A&N) Administration has released a draft policy titled ‘Harnessing the Potentials of Blue Economy through Mariculture Policy, 2025’. The policy aims to promote sustainable mariculture practices and tap into the economic opportunities of the region’s vast marine resources.
To ensure a comprehensive and inclusive approach, the administration has invited objections and suggestions from stakeholders and individuals who may be affected by the policy. The draft document is available on the official website of the A&N Administration at www.andaman.gov.in.
Interested individuals can submit their feedback in writing to the Directorate of Fisheries, Sri Vijaya Puram, or via email at dirfish.and@nic.in within 30 days from the date of publication of the draft policy.
This initiative is part of the administration’s broader effort to enhance the fisheries sector while maintaining ecological balance and economic sustainability in the islands.
