<h1>Traditional Fishermen Gain Economic Boost as Seasonal Fishing Ban Supports Local Livelihoods and Sustainable Marine Practices</h1> Traditional fishermen in Goa are experiencing increased demand during the monsoon season due to a government-mandated ban on mechanized fishing from June 1 to July 31. The seasonal restriction allows traditional fishermen using canoes to catch fish, particularly sardines, at higher prices. Government schemes support these fishermen through subsidies and marketing assistance, helping them capitalize on the breeding season when fish come closer to shore.
