Read the given passage and answer the following questions.
India should deploy a dedicated satellite system for tracing and managing its fisheries
sector. It should expand its patrolling in the high seas and put in place a 30 year ‘holistic’
shipbuilding plan under the Atmanirbhar initiative to give a boost to shipping and
shipbuilding sector, recommends a draft policy prepared by multiple committees led by the
Prime Minister’s economic Advisory Council.
T he draft is part of India’s ‘Blue Economy’ Framework. T his refers to tapping the economic
potential from India’s oceans and also includes allied activities such as coastal tourism,
mariculture, fisheries and deep-sea mining. Currently a ’conservative’ estimate of the size of
the Blue Economy is about 4% of the Gross Domestic Policy, the report notes.
India’s 7,517 km long coastline is home to nine coastal States and 1,382 islands. With 12
major ports and 187 non-major ports, handling about 1,400 million tonnes of cargo, 95% of
India’s trade by volume transits by sea. India’s Exclusive Economic Zone of over two million
square kilometres is rich in living and non-living resources and holds significant recoverable
resources of crude oil and of recoverable natural gas. T he coastal economy also sustains
over 4 million fishermen and other coastal communities. “With these vast maritime

India should deploy a dedicated satellite system for tracing and managing its fisheries
sector. It should expand its patrolling in the high seas and put in place a 30 year ‘holistic’
shipbuilding plan under the Atmanirbhar initiative to give a boost to shipping and
shipbuilding sector, recommends a draft policy prepared by multiple committees led by the
Prime Minister’s economic Advisory Council.
T he draft is part of India’s ‘Blue Economy’ Framework. T his refers to tapping the economic
potential from India’s oceans and also includes allied activities such as coastal tourism,
mariculture, fisheries and deep-sea mining. Currently a ’conservative’ estimate of the size of
the Blue Economy is about 4% of the Gross Domestic Policy, the report notes.
India’s 7,517 km long coastline is home to nine coastal States and 1,382 islands. With 12
major ports and 187 non-major ports, handling about 1,400 million tonnes of cargo, 95% of
India’s trade by volume transits by sea. India’s Exclusive Economic Zone of over two million
square kilometres is rich in living and non-living resources and holds significant recoverable
resources of crude oil and of recoverable natural gas. T he coastal economy also sustains
over 4 million fishermen and other coastal communities. “With these vast maritime
