India's Ministry of Earth Sciences Enhances Marine Resource Monitoring
The Ministry of Earth Sciences in India, through its Centre for Marine Living Resources and Ecology (CMLRE), is focusing on the assessment and conservation of marine resources within India’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). This involves initiatives like the Marine Living Resources Programme and the Deep Ocean Mission aimed at biodiversity exploration and conservation. CMLRE, along with ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, has conducted numerous research cruises to assess marine resources, aiding in sustainable fisheries management through advanced technological methods such as eDNA metabarcoding. These activities support evidence-based decision-making for marine conservation.
