How the exam will ask it
पूर्व
- BOB-NOR is a research network on fisheries covering the Bay of Bengal, launched at Kochi with India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and the Maldives.
- World Tsunami Awareness Day is observed every year on 5 November.
- The Bay of Bengal is a shared marine ecosystem whose fish stocks cross national maritime boundaries.
मुख्य
GS3 (Environment, marine resources) and GS2 (International Relations, neighbourhood). Shared Bay of Bengal fish stocks face overfishing and climate stress, and no single country can manage them alone; a scientist-level network builds common data and evidence for sustainable fisheries. Way forward: link such research to regional bodies and policy, share data openly, and align management of shared stocks with the neighbourhood-first approach.
