Representative Image UDUPI: The Karnataka government has announced a ban on mechanised fishing along the state's coast from June 1 to July 31 under the Karnataka Marine Fishing Regulation Act, 1986. The 61-day prohibition aims to protect marine biodiversity during the monsoon season and support fish breeding cycles. According to the notification, the ban applies to all fishing activities carried out using mechanised boats and traditional boats fitted with inboard or outboard engines exceeding 10 horsepower. However, traditional or non-motorised boats and motorised boats with engines up to 10 HP are permitted to operate during this period. The state's Department of Fisheries has instructed all mechanised boats to return to port by May 31. Any vessels attempting to operate or dock after this deadline will face legal action, and violators will be disqualified from receiving subsidised diesel for one year at official delivery centres. Fishermen have also been advised to strictly comply with weather advisories issued during the monsoon. The Joint Director's Office of the Fisheries Department has urged coastal fishing communities to fully adhere to the directive.
