Climate Change Alters Marine Fisheries Dynamics, Warn Marine Scientists

Marine scientists, during a seminar organized by ICAR-CMFRI, warned that climate change is drastically altering India's marine ecosystems and fisheries.

Key impacts include changes in fish phenology, northward migration of species like Indian oil sardine, and severe damage to coral reefs and seagrass beds in Lakshadweep. The discussion highlighted the need for climate mitigation plans, community-oriented approaches, and advanced prediction models for sustainable fisheries.
