The Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock has started various activities to overcome this loss. In order to enrich the economy of the country by extracting conventional and unconventional marine fisheries and enriching the country’s economy through food exports, several projects have been taken up including deep sea tuna extraction project. We need to move forward by tackling the harmful effects of climate change.

We have to be prepared so that the adversity of nature does not destroy us.
