- Abstract
With land-based resources depleting fast, sustained harvesting of ocean resources with an appropriate trade-off between economic growth, social needs, and the health of the ocean environment is essential. India, with an over 7600-kmlong coastline, an exclusive economic zone of 2.3 million km2, and seeking extension for additional 560 km, has initiated blue economic policies for leveraging the growth of the national economy. The first part of the paper presented in the OCEANS '18 conference in Kobe discussed the technology initiatives to harness the vast living and nonliving blue economic resources in India, including deep-ocean minerals, hydrocarbons, renewable energy, ocean desalination, and bioprospecting. This paper describes the activities carried out related to the activities undertaken by the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) in the areas of coastal protection, cyclone and tsunami early warning systems, coral habitat observations, sustainable fishing, and numerical studies carried out to understand the influence of natural gas leaks on deep-ocean ecology.
