What is Innovations in Otter Board Design about?

1) A fisherman in Veraval, Gujarat replaced traditional wooden otter boards used in bottom trawling with boards made of polypropylene (PP) sheet. 2) Initial trials found the PP otter boards had better orientation and balancing in the water compared to wooden boards, with less resistance. 3) While PP otter boards are more expensive initially at Rs. 25,000-26,000 per pair compared to Rs. 15,500-18,500 for wooden boards, they are more durable and are expected to perform better economically in the long run
