The objective of this article is to highlight the need for a judicious exploitation of the marine fishery resources of Kerala by utilising the new technology without adversely affecting the interests of the traditional fishermen. The Kerala Marine Fishing Regulation Act has got provisions for this. What is needed is their vigorous implementation.
