Ocean Science Helps Coastal Fishermen in India Boost Catches

Ocean Science Helps Coastal Fishermen in India Boost Catches

Imagine having a map that shows fishermen where the fish are most likely to be!

That's what the Indian government is doing.

Using satellites, they create 'fishing maps' called PFZ advisories.

These maps tell fishermen where to find lots of fish, which helps them catch more and earn more money.

Studies show that these maps work well, especially near Kerala.

Scientists are working to make these maps even better, so fishermen can catch even more fish and help the environment.
