Question
Give geographical reasons:
The continental shelf is a paradise for fishing activity.
Solution
The continental shelf is the land near the coast that is submerged under the sea. These are the extended margins of the continent. It is considered a paradise for fishing activity because of the favorable conditions available for the growth of fish. As the continental shelf is shallow, a good amount of sunlight reaches on its bed, facilitating the growth of plankton and algae, which serve as food for fish.
