• Assigning responsibility for coastal security and maritime security. • Designation of Coastal Command.• Strengthening of marine police stations.• Sanctioning of additional assets and manpower for the Coast
Guard. • Creation of Sagar Prahari Bal for the Navy. • Automatic Identification System (AIS) for fishing vessels • Chain of coastal radars. • Joint Operations Centre (JOC).

Limitations of New Security Apparatus• Overlapping Responsibilities.
• Responsibilities without transfer of authority.
• Coastal Command a misnomer. Responsible for only
co-ordination. No command & control function.
• Replication of responsibility dilutes the accountability.
• Distinction between coastal security & coastal defence.
Limitations of New Security Apparatus (Contd)
• Undue focus on shallow waters.Undue focus on shallow waters.
• Does not leverage expanse of sea.Does not leverage expanse of sea.
• Coast Guard structured for EEZ Charter.Coast Guard structured for EEZ Charter.
• IN back to brown water navy!IN back to brown water navy!
Limitations of New Security Apparatus (Contd)
• Unregulated nature of Indian fishing.
• Absence of legal regulatory mechanism.
• Fishing Community – a political vote bank.
• Compulsions of fisheries being state subject.
Co-ordinationCo-ordination
• Numerous maritime agencies like major & minor
ports, customs, fisheries, DG Shipping, ONGC, IB
and Marine Police under various ministries.
• Each agency has specific charter but bearing on
security.
• Co-ordination between centre & state agencies.
RecommendationsRecommendations
• Clear demarcation of responsiblity, accountability & jurisdiction for various agencies.
Recommendations (Contd)Recommendations (Contd)• Legal regulatory mechanism for Indian fisheries
permitting measures like- Making crossing of IMBL illegal.- No fishing corridor.- Prohibited fishing zones around off shore platforms, VAs/VPs.- All legal provisions with penalties. - AIS/transponders for less than 20 mtrs.- RFID for fishing boats. (Storage of GPS track).
• Centre to exercise powers of regulating fishing beyond 12 nm.
Recommendations (Contd)Recommendations (Contd)• Maritime Domain Awareness.
- Networking of all concerned agencies.- Integration of surveillance data of
LRIT – DG Shipping. PANS – Port authorities. AIS - National AIS network (DGLL) Coastal Radar Chain – ICG Tracking Devices Fishing boats – DG shipping/ Fisheries Data base of registration of fishing boats Data base of other stake holders, Int, marine police, ports etc.

Question!
ISSUE• The current arrangement for Coastal Security suffers
from shortcomings such as:-– Coast Guard (CG) made responsible to coordinate between
various agencies without authority over them.– Coastal Security responsibility of the CG has been limited to
territorial waters (12NM) while it has the Statutory Charter & capability to operate up to the EEZ (200NM).
– Indian Navy has been made overall responsible with the CG responsible for territorial waters leading to issues of Command and Control.
• How can the issue of Command and Control between various agencies be resolved to bring in better efficiency and accountability?
