In a significant move to boost fish production and promote sustainable fishing, Union Fisheries Minister Parshottam Rupala inaugurated an artificial reef project in Vizhinjam, Kerala. This initiative aims to double the income of fishermen by enhancing fish stocks and contributing to the economic well-being of the local fishing community.
Reef Structures: The artificial reefs include 150 modules for each location in three designs: triangular, flower-shaped, and tubular.
Deployment: The modules are positioned using GPS technology and deposited on the seabed at a depth of 12 to 15 meters.
Cost and Funding: The project is financially supported, with 60% covered by the Central government and 40% by the state. The total cost of the project is ₹13.02 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY).
