About the School of Legal Studies
One of the oldest law schools in India, the School of Legal Studies (SLS) was established in the year 1962 as a part of Kerala University offering postgraduate courses and research in law under the leadership and guidance of the late Prof. (Dr.) A T Markose, an internationally acclaimed jurist and academician. The Law School joined the folds of the University of Cochin, in the year 1971, which was later reorganized and renamed as Cochin University of Science and Technology in 1986 for the promotion of graduate, post-graduate studies and advanced research in various fields. SLS has made valuable contributions to the study and research of law in the past 54 years, fully living up to the motto of CUSAT, ‘Tejaswinavadhitamastu’ meaning ‘may the wisdom accrued deify us both-the teacher and the taught and percolate to the universe’ in its totality.
About ICAR- CMFR
The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute was established by the Government of India on February 3 rd 1947 under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare and later it joined the ICAR family in 1967. During the course of over 75 years, the Institute has emerged as a leading tropical marine fisheries research institute in the world.
Since its inception, the CMFRI grew significantly in size and stature and built up adequate research infrastructure, and recruited qualified staff. Its research attention was towards the estimation of marine fisheries landings and effort, taxonomy of marine organisms, and the bio-economic characteristics of the exploited stocks of finfish and shellfish. This research effort contributed significantly to India’s marine fisheries development from a predominantly artisanal, sustenance fishery till the early sixties to that of a complex, multi-gear, multispecies fisheries.

About the International Seminar
The International Seminar on ‘Regulation and Sustainable Management of Marine Fisheries: Prospects and Challenges’ is being organised by School of Legal Studies, Cochin University of Science and Technology in collaboration with ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi.
This seminar offers a platform to discuss the major constraints and challenges faced by the marine fisheries sector as well as explore probable regulatory interventions to minimize the problems. To magnify its Blue Economy, regulatory efforts must focus more on promotion of sustainable marine fisheries, non-traditional species, marine biotechnology and mariculture with less pollution of the seas, considering the impact of climatic changes on fisheries and marine spatial planning. The absence of proper regulatory policies with effective implementation and enforcement strategies with proper coordination and management strategies hinders the development of marine fisheries as part of the Blue Economy.
