Abstract
This Article explores the indigenous governance systems that have historically shaped fisheries management in Kerala, India. Drawing upon traditional knowledge and practices, this Article examines how local communities, particularly fishing villages, have developed sustainable methods for managing marine resources. It highlights the role of community-based governance structures, such as the Panchayat system, local councils, and informal networks, in maintaining ecological balance and ensuring the resilience of fisheries.
