The redundancy of the utilisation of MFAs among the fishers in Odisha was assessed through the identification of various socio-technical constraints. Fishers were used to conduct fishing operations using their indigenous local knowledge (ILK), however, it was found that the co-utilisation of MFA with ILK will be beneficial for fish stock preservation and environment-friendly fishing towards meeting the targets of SDG 14. Further, a geospatial model of optimisation of fishing crafts has been carried out through the identification of PFZ hotspots in the northern BoB region in order to provide the best policy recommendations to improve the marine environment and livelihoods of the fishers.
It is recommended to popularize the MFA among the fishers so as to utilise the same in regular basis for sustainable fishing
Glimpses of the field survey at coastal Odisha. One of the modes of MFA dissemination was noticed as DDS. Coastal communities including marine fishers take shelter in Multipurpose cyclone shelters during cyclonic storms. Marine fishers especially women were closely associated with dry fishing for their livelihoods. Mangrove vegetation was observed in Ganjam.

Marine fishers used to utilise weather information as decision-making tool for planning their fishing expedition
It was observed that fishermen engaged in active fishing while allied activities performed by the fisherwomen in the state
We are looking forward to providing the best policy-recommendations in order to formulate relevant marine fishery policy and development plans based on the geospatial models of craft optimisation associated with MFA usages for sustainable fishing practices towards achieving SDG 14 goals imposed by UN

Odisha is vulnerable to extreme weather events such as tropical cyclone
Preparation of value added weather forecast associated with agrometeorology and issuance of Impact Based Forecast (IBF) for agriculture in order to provide better advisory services for cultivation in northeast India. Besides, regular coordination with the Agromet Field Units (AMFUs) and monthly quality check of the AAS Bulletins (AABs) also carried out under this project.
