Fishing and Salt Manufacturing Agriculture \| Horticulture \| Fishing \| Toddy Tapping \| Forest wealth Dahanu’s rich and marine belt due to its vast wetlands and its inlet fishing sustains thousands of fishermen and has thus for ages sustained another age-old occupation of fishing. It also supports a sizable population of marginalized people who solely depend on salt manufacturing. The entire coastal belt with its rich natural resources, creeks, wetlands, reefs, mangroves and river deltas forms a lucrative fishing area. The communities engaged in this occupation are Kohlis, Mitnas and Mangelas. They are the masters of the sea and help in generating good revenue for the town by exporting tones of seafood each year. Dahanu has approx. 21 fishing hamlets and about 7 fish landing centres and has 3 kinds of fishing activities carried out viz. the deep sea, the brackish water and the inland. Some of the marine products include Indian Monk fish (Dhara), Jew fish (Ghol), Dori (Koth), Catfish, Thread fins, Pipe fish, Pomfret, Octopus, Ribbon fish, Eel, Clupeid, Shark, Rays, Croaker, Sardines, Mudskippers, Lobsters, Crabs and Oysters.
