India Launches First Open-Sea Fish Farming Project in Andamans

India started a new project in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to farm fish like seabass and cobia in the open sea.

A minister named Jitendra Singh opened this project.

They are also growing seaweed as part of this experiment.

The project is a team effort between the government and scientists.

The minister said India's oceans have lots of resources that can help the country grow economically.

After launching the project, the minister visited a historical island and saw old buildings and museums.

There are plans to build a big memorial on the island with a museum, cable cars, and fun places for kids.
