The fishing policy is being revised to enhance earning of foreign exchange and improve socio economic uplift of the small-scale fishermen. According to official sources, an action plan is also under way for the improvement of deepsea fishing in the country. Resource surveys and research on stock assessment, migratory pattern, biological studies' of demersal, small pelagic, large pelagic and mecopelagic fisheries will be carried out to develop strategies for sustained exploitation.
The fishermen may be provided with boats with modem gadget and their skill may be up-grading through training in modem fishing techniques.
This would enable them to harvest the fishery resources of the area between 12 to 35 nautical miles and better prices for their harvest through improved marketing.
