Tamil-language versions of Technical Guidelines relating to the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries have been prepared by the BOBP-IGO in booklet form. Booklets were distributed to fishers in Chennai on June 29, 2007 on the occasion of a one-day consultation with fishers, NGO representatives, government officials and other stakeholders.
The booklets have also been sent to the presidents of fisheries village committees through the Department of Fisheries at the district level. They have also been given to the DOF in Chennai.
