In a landmark step toward ecological restoration and sustainable development, the Department of Fisheries, Longding, has launched its first-ever River Ranching Program at the Tewai and Teru Rivers.
In the presence of Hon’ble Minister Shri Gabriel D Wangsu, over 90,000 fingerlings, including species like Rohu, Katla, Mirga, and more, were released into the rivers.
This initiative is designed to:
✅ Revive native fish populations
✅ Enhance biodiversity and protect aquatic ecosystems
✅ Promote sustainable fishing and support local livelihoods

What are the three main principles of restoration ecology?
Major categories of restorative activities include:-
(1) Reduction of negative environmental and societal impacts such as pollution and unsustainable resource use and management.
(2) Removal of contaminants, pollutants and other threats, often known as remediation.
(3) Rehabilitation of ecosystem functions and services.

What is the river ranching programme?
The River Ranching Programme is a form of aquaculture where fish, particularly indigenous carp and other river species, are raised in captivity for the initial stages of their lives, then released into rivers to grow naturally and later harvested as adults. It aims to achieve sustainable fisheries, conserve biodiversity and improve the economic benefits for communities dependent on river

How is ecological restoration done?
Ecological restoration attempts to reverse damage or destruction of ecosystems. The techniques employed depend on what damage has occurred but they often include reintroduction of native species, erosion control and pollution control.

Livelihoods comprise the capabilities, assets and activities required for living. A livelihood is sustainable when it can cope with and recover from stresses and shocks and maintain or enhance its capabilities and assets, while not undermining the natural resource base.

Fishery-related livelihoods are complex, dynamic and adaptive. Some fishers engage in fishing full-time, all year round. More commonly though, people fish part- time. They may take advantage of seasonally available riverine, coastal and offshore resources or they may fish part-time all through the year.

How do we ensure that the fishing ground is used sustainably?
These include actions that:-
1. Tackle overfishing and restore stocks.
2. Reduce and eliminate bycatch.
3. Promote adoption of responsible and sustainable fishing guidelines.
4. Promote sustainable, ecosystem-based small-scale fishing and strengthen its role in
environmental stewardship.

What is the most sustainable way of fishing?
Rod-and-reel fishing results in less bycatch because non-targeted species can be released immediately. Additionally, only one fish is caught at a time, preventing overfishing. For commercial fishers, rod-and reel-fishing is a more sustainable alternative to long lining.
