To meet the challenge, CMFRI has initiated a collaborative research programme with Space Application Centre of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to utilize the remote sensing data on chlorophyll availability in the Indian Ocean for developing models for this purpose. The concept was not new, as we are only rejuvenating the attempt made by our peers four decades ago We have developed successfully two marine bio-molecules of neutraceutical value namely GMe and GAe, which were commercialized during this period. This will be an affordable and safe alternative in place of costly imported drugs. As a prelude to usher in ‘green auditing and accounting’, which is about to be implemented by the Government, CMFRI estimated the value of the ecosystem services and natural capital. The health of the eco-system is also given due importance through periodical assessment of pollutants and the various hydrographical parameters. CMFRI is making all efforts to promote the concept of “Green Economy” in the coastal villages by strategising new forms of participatory collaboration with grassroots level institutions. 7KHHVWDEOLVKPHQWRI1DWLRQDOPDULQHÀVKEURRGEDQNLVFRPSOHWHDORQJZLWKVWDWHRI the art Recirculation Aquaculture system (RAS), which is a landmark for encouraging TXDOLW\VHHGSURGXFWLRQIRULQFUHDVLQJÀVKSURGXFWLRQWKURXJK0DULFXOWXUH 7KHVXFFHVVRIDQ\UHVHDUFKÀQGLQJLVGHHPHGWRKDYHEHHQUHDOL]HGRQO\ZKHQWKH XOWLPDWHHQGXVHUUHFRJQL]HVDQGJHWVEHQHÀWRXWRILW&0)5,·VFDJHFXOWXUHWHFKQRORJLHV DQGVXFFHVVIXOGHPRQVWUDWLRQRIIDUPLQJRIYDULRXVPDULQHÀVKHVKDYHPRWLYDWHGWKH coastal entrepreneurs to successfully undertake the venture on their own. The success stories include the pompano culture at Nagayalanka (Andhra Pradesh), small scale lobster farming at Vasai (Mumbai) & Veraval (Gujarat), cage farming of mullet in Kerala, lobster farming and many to follow. The “sidi” tribes of Somnath (Veraval) earned about Rs.15,000 per family per month through cage culture implemented under the Tribal sub plan (TSP). They are bound to earn more, when they go for the second crop next season. 7KH YDOXDWLRQRIPDULQHÀVKODQGLQJVDQGDQDO\VLVRISULFHEHKDYLRXURIPDULQHÀVK YDULHWLHVDFURVVWKHVHDVRQVSURYLGHGWKHEDVHIRUDVVHVVLQJWKHFRQWULEXWLRQRIÀVKHULHV to the national income of the country.
