At a consultation in Visakhapatnam on October 8, 2026, traditional fishers from six coastal Andhra districts presented demands to organizers and delegates. The fishers requested a law similar to the Forest Rights Act to protect their fishing grounds and access routes from displacement by coastal projects. They also called for district-wise ecological mapping and last-mile early warning systems linked to INCOIS forecasts.
