Description With the new ocean regime coming into being, many
of the countries including India have declared an EEZ
(Exclusive Economic Zone) which extends national
jurisdiction to 200 miles from the coast. This has
created a greater awareness of our responsibility to
wards the judicious exploitation of the living and non
living resources coming under the extended jurisdiction.
The problems of survey, assessment, utilization and
management of the resources thus assumes priority.
At the same time, the management of living resources,
particularly the fishery resources receive both national
and international importance. This is all the more so,
as the exploitation of living resources has hitherto been
confined to a narrow belt of the neritic waters. In the
marine fisheries sector, with a decade of stagnation in
world fish production, the declaration of the EEZ has
given high hopes to some nations of substantially aug
menting their fish production. To countries which had
well established distant waterfishing operations covering
the EEZ of other countries, the continuation of such
operations poses serious problems. The new ocean
regime undoubtedly offers some of the developing coun
tries an opportunity for developing and expanding their
capabilities of harvesting fish from their EEZ through
their own effort or through collaborative ventures.
