In partial modification of the notification

referred above of the Goa State Mariculture

Policy 2020, Sr. No. 1 second para, Sr. No. 3

sub point (3.2) (B), Sr. No. 3.6 sub point 4 and

Sr. No. 3.6 sub point 6, is revised and

amended as follows:

Sr. No. 1 second para

Mariculture— (a specialized branch of

aquaculture involving the cultivation of

marine organisms/marine plants (algae/

seaweeds) for food and other products in an

enclosed section of the sea such as cages/

/pens, or in tanks or raceways which are filled

with saline water)-represents an opportunity

to provide a sustainable supplement or an

alternative to the marine capture fishery. It is

also a means of diversifying the fisheries

sector, introducing new skills and technologies

into a largely traditional and somewhat static

sector of the economy. Mariculture can

increase employment and income in areas

with marginal economies as well as advance

coastal zone management objectives through

improved marine resources planning and

management. Under ideal circumstances, it

could lead to the reduction of foreign

exchange expenditure for the importation of

fish and fish products, as well as provide a

source of foreign exchange through product

export. Presently, the relatively low capital

input required makes it an opportunity that

is accessible to lower socio economic groups.

activity in the form of open sea cage farming

is permitted. This zone will be further
