Abstract

A ban on fishing in some areas of Orissa to protect the endangered Olive Ridley turtles is adversely impacting the lives of fisherfolk and their families. Since the ban came into force in 2000, at least eight fisherfolk are reported to have committed suicide because of the yearly seven-month restriction on fishing between November and May, when the Oliver Ridley turtles breed and nest.
