Kerala bans trawling June 10 to July 31, protecting fish

Kerala requires gear, fishermen demand support

Fishermen have to carry safety gear, licenses, Aadhaar cards, and boat papers while out at sea.
Only one carrier boat is allowed per vessel, and 24/7 control rooms are set up for emergencies.
Fishermen's groups are asking for financial support instead of just free rations during the ban, and want more Coast Guard patrols for safety.

Also, boats from other states must leave Kerala waters until the ban ends.
