The programme aims to protect marine ecosystems while ensuring that fishermen can continue their livelihoods without exhausting ocean resources. Officials believe that training and awareness programmes will encourage responsible fishing habits. Assumptions:

III. All fishermen are currently using harmful fishing practices. Which of the following assumptions is/are implicit from the above statement?

Q: Answer-Passage: The government has launched a new initiative to promote sustainable fishing practices among...

Assumption I is implicit because the initiative aims to protect marine ecosystems, which assumes that certain fishing practices can harm ocean resources. Assumption II is implicit because the government expects training and awareness to bring a change in fishermens behaviour. Assumption III is not implicit because the passage does not say every fisherman is following harmful practices it only highlights the need for improvement. Hence, only assumptions I and II are implicit.
