Abstract

In India, the Coastal Aquaculture Authority, established at the behest of the Supreme Court to protect the coastal environment from an unregulated shrimp industry, has evolved into a bureaucratic apparatus that promotes business interests. The recent reform of this agency underscores the conflicting dialogue between the Government and the judiciary on environmental issues, highlighting the complexities of a law-making process that prioritises economic growth over ecological concerns.
