Chennai, April 15, 2025: Tamil Nadu has initiated a 61-day fishing ban to protect marine resources and boost the fishery sector. The annual ban aims to preserve fish populations during their breeding season and promote sustainable fishing practices. Fishermen in coastal regions are prohibited from fishing during this period to ensure the long-term health of the industry.
