India is designing a whole new frontier at sea
India is exploring offshore aquaculture through projects like open-sea fish farming in the Andaman region, using cagebased systems designed for deeper waters. These systems aim to increase fish production while reducing pressure on coastal ecosystems and traditional fishing zones. This is more than a fisheries initiative. It signals India designing new food and livelihood infrastructure in response to climate stress, resource limits, and rising demand. But success will depend on more than deployment. These systems must balance ecology, community livelihoods, and long-term sustainability. For India’s future, the opportunity is clear: can we design ocean-based infrastructure that is not extractive, but regenerative by design? News Source: Observer Reserach Foundation
