ABSTRACT
The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement recognizes the need for effective and progressive responses to the urgent threat of climate change, through mitigation and adaptation measures, while taking into account the particular vulnerabilities of food production systems. The climate change will lead to significant changes in the availability and trade of fish products, with potentially important geopolitical and economic consequences, especially for those countries most dependent on the sector. The atmosphere and oceans have warmed and sea level has risen. The uptake of additional energy in the climate system is caused by the increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs). The sector is already under stress from pollution, habitat degradation, overfishing and harmful practices; climate variability, climate change and ocean acidification represent additional threats to the sector and dependent communities. Marine fishing in India can be made further eco-friendly by using alternate fishing techniques which use less fuel to reduce CO2 emissions.
