- DEEP-SEA FISHING AND SUSTAINABILITY: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON THE READINESS OF THE FISHERMEN FROM TAMILNADU, INDIA
Viswanathan Sendurpandian, Ashutosh Apandkar, and Kolandasamy Sivasami
Brazilian Journals
Introduction: Coastal fisheries resources are slowly depleting and the governments are pushing the fishers to extend their fishing activities into the EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) and beyond with the aim of tapping deep-sea fisheries resources for ensuring a continuous supply of protein-rich food for the country and for export. However, switching to deep sea fishing has many challenges and they need to be tackled by different stakeholders to ensure a smooth adaption of deep-sea fishing among the fishermen. Objective: To analyse the fishermen's capabilities and challenges in adopting deep-sea fishing as an alternative and suggest measures in order to achieve sustainable deep-sea fishing operation. Theoretical Framework: Technological innovation in vessel design, operations, fishing techniques and efficient ocean navigation can lead to more efficient and less ecologically harmful fishing practices. Method: Five identified challenges were analysed through collecting data from 405 respondents from five deep-sea fishing harbours through structured questionnaire in order to find the measures to overcome those challenges. Results and Discussion: The results were analysed, expressed in tables, bar and charts and discussed in order to understand the fishermen's readiness towards the sustainable deep-sea fishing operations. Research Implications: The research will come out with the gaps in adopting deep-sea fishing operation. The measures to fill the challenges in adopting sustainable deep-sea fishing operation could be developed through the outcome of the study. Originality/Value: The relevance and value of this research may be evidenced through a greater number of fishermen adopting deep-sea fishing operation and enhancing fishermen's knowledge and skills through training. - Innovative solar PV array design: mitigating partial shading for Optimal Performance Index

Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network (UASN) routing is difficult for several reasons. First, the UASN's energy consumption rises because the distance between nodes changes as it moves with the water current. The gathered scientific data packets are sent from the acoustic network to a receiving station on land. Second, there are difficulties with the underwater acoustic network, such as longer propagation delays and lower capacity because of danger. The biggest hurdle is inefficient data packet transfer between the UASN node and the onshore sink node. Finding a method that uses less energy is just the first step in reaching maximum efficiency. The underwater routing protocol has to be resilient in the face of connection failure brought on by extreme weather or power outages. The Modified Buffalo Optimization Algorithm is a novel optimization technique inspired by nature. The issues listed above may be avoided by using the Modified Buffalo optimization Algorithm that has been presented in this study. It was implemented in the NS2 simulator to evaluate the program's effectiveness and through its paces against the Chimp optimization method. In terms of throughput, packet delivery ratio, and power efficiency, the simulated results shows that the MBOA algorithm out performs COA Algorithm. - Challenges Prevailing in Photovoltaic Electricity in India: A Broad Perspective

Having identified the potential hazard during the Ship recycling process, the Hongkong Convention mandates the inventory of hazardous materials for Ships above 500 GT. It also mandates the Ship recycling facility to have a Ship Recycling Plan based on the inventory of hazardous material. The Hongkong convention although addresses most of the issues in the ship recycling industry in the beaching method of ship recycling, it is silent over the issues pertaining to the downstream waste management. India has ratified the Hong Kong convention on 29th November 2019, has enacted the Ship Recycling Act, 2019 in line with the requirements of the Hong Kong convention. This paper analyses the key issues of concern in the ship recycling industry especially which employs the beaching method of recycling and the dire need of a Life cycle assessment approach in ship recycling, the process improvement of hazardous waste handling in the Ship recycling industry to prevent the accident occurrences, reduce the health issues to the workers in the ship recycling industry in addition to the pollution prevention aspects in the adjacent coastal areas. - Prevalent glitches in generation of solar power using PV panels - An indian scenario
