The installation of fish aggregating devices (FADs) is one of the principal measures envisaged to facilitate the exploitation of deep water pelagic species. These devices enable fishermen to go and seek fish much further out at sea, thereby reducing the pressure on coastal waters, which is currently endangering numerous species. The fishermen are already benefiting from about 50 installed FADs.

(…) The Government has encouraged the development of alternative sources of energy, with the Electricity Act of 2003 providing a preferential tariff for renewable-based electricity and a mandatory renewable purchase obligation (RPO) for State utilities. (...) The National Tariff Policy of 2011 further amended the RPO (renewable purchase obligation) by adding a solar purchase obligation (SPO) as part of the RPO of 0.25% by 2013 and 3% by 2022.

At the EU level, the principal legislation on fisheries is Council Regulation (EC) No. 2371/2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fishery resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). The Regulation sets out the legal basis for the CFP and provides for measures covering all areas relating to commercial fishing, including: conservation and management; environmental impact; conditions of access; fleet capacity; control; aquaculture; the common organization of the markets; and international relations. Fisheries policy has changed significantly over the past few years and reform is continuing with increased emphasis on sustainability through long-term management, enforcement of rules, and inputs from stakeholders, including scientific advice.
