According to the Meera Kumari Commission report, foreign fishing vehicles may be permitted in our seas and hence it justifies the looting of our marine resources by foreign companies. It welcomes foreign crews in Indian waters. The commission’s recommendations would adversely affect the fishing community and lead to their displacement. We should take no action that affects the livelihood of traditional fishing communities; the government should protect the fish resources on which thousands of fishermen are dependent.
