SEA AND COAST ( MARITIME MEDIA OF INDIA)

Sea And Coast is a non-partisan print media magazine published to realize the collective dreams of the marine community members. Initially, in 2016, Amit Kumar, an eminent professional from the maritime fraternity, set out to pool together resources, rich and varied maritime experience to establish a print and digital media and publishing house in the underwater domain. A media house catering to the shipping industry, marine community, and oil & natural gas industry was a long-felt need in India. The organisation believes that today's seafarer must be informed and entertained in an increasingly complex and commercial shipping environment. Sea and Coast magazine’s coverage principally focuses on the topics of “maritime industry, defence, shipping industry, environmental issues, etc. according to an advisory published by the editorial staff of the magazine. Founding Editor Amit Kumar claims that the publication was created as a“platform to cater to the needs marine community” and that it’s a noncorporate structure and funding sources aim to free it from the "commercial and political pressures" that supposedly afflict marine industry Indian news outlets. Most of the magazine’s articles have been written pro-bono. Many well-known professionals contribute to the magazine giving it an intellectual and real-time foundation to the issues about the industry. Sea and Coast magazine reached the pinnacle when it became the exclusive media partner of National Maritime Foundation, Delhi. The magazine is committed to serve the national cause and bring more transparency in the ambit of the untouched maritime sector. Exclusive coverage of policymakers and bringing the industry and the policymakers under one platform gives Sea and Coast a decided edge over other media houses.
