Indian Coast Guard is entrusted with protecting vast EEZ, which is rich in various natural as well as marine resources. Indian Government’s endeavour is to promote fishing in A&N Region in large scale by permitting operation of chartered foreign fishing vessels for development of fishing industry at par with international standards. Indian Coast Guard Ship Lakshmi Bai in the month of August 2008 monitored mid sea transfer of catch from Indian chartered vessel to mother vessel MV Srinakoran-19 ex-Thailand. Constant vigil was kept by Indian Coast Guard Ships to prevent illegal exploitation of marine resource and mineral wealth. |
