Bare Act

The Goa, Daman & Diu Marine Fishing Regulation Act, 1980

This legislation empowers the government to oversee fishing operations within defined zones to protect marine resources and localized fishing communities. It grants authorities the power to set precise limits on how many boats operate, what types of fish they can catch, and what gear they may use. By doing so, the government aims to sustain the industry scientifically and prevent conflicts, ensuring that both traditional small-scale fishermen and larger commercial vessels operate under regulated, orderly conditions.
