The Marine Fisheries Census, announced on World Fisheries Day, is set to be conducted in 2025. This digital initiative aims to survey 1.2 million households along India’s coastline within 45 days. Utilizing mobile apps and virtual servers, the census process is 80% faster and gathers data on socio-economic conditions, household size, and fisherfolk engagement. This effort supports the blue economy initiative under Fisheries Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh, enhancing data-driven policy-making for sustainable marine development.
