Centre Notifies New Deep-Sea Fishing Rules for EEZ:

The Government of India has notified new deep-sea fishing rules for operations within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), covering over 23 lakh square kilometres of marine territory. Announced on November 4, 2025, these rules aim to unlock high-value marine resources—particularly tuna—while empowering local fishers, cooperatives, and safeguarding marine biodiversity. The reforms implement promises made in the Union Budget 2025–26 and signal a strategic push to make India a leader in sustainable and tech-enabled marine exports
