Vision & Significance

India has over 7,500 km of coastline, thousands of rivers and lakes, and one of the world's largest freshwater fisheries. These aquatic ecosystems face threats from pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction.

Aquatic Conservation:

• •Ocean Conservation: Protecting India's marine biodiversity through marine protected areas, coral reef restoration, and sustainable fishing.
• •Fishery Management: Ensuring sustainable fishing practices that protect fish stocks while supporting fishing communities.
• •Wetland Protection: Preserving India's wetlands — critical habitats for migratory birds, fish breeding, and water purification.
• •Plastic-Free Oceans: Combating ocean plastic pollution through beach clean-ups, plastic reduction, and waste management.
