Abstract

On december 30 , 2009, fishing communities lost a friend in Harekrishna Debnath, the chairperson of the National Fishworkers’ Forum (nff) that represents fishers’ associations of all coastal states in India. Debnath, 60, died of lung cancer. In the past two decades, Debnath spearheaded several campaigns for conserving coastal and marine resources. This included the movement against the Coastal Management Zone notification that proposed industrial and commercial development in coastal areas. The notification was eventually allowed to lapse by the Union government.
