Abstract

Being an island, Sri Lanka has, over many years, developed fishing, particularly marine fisheries, into an important industry along its coastline of 1,585 km, consisting of sandy beaches, extensive lagoons, estuaries, mangroves, coastal marshes and dunes. In 2003, coastal fisheries contributed almost two per cent to Sri Lanka’s gross domestic product. The sector directly employs 300,000 fishermen, and altogether, has provided direct and indirect employment to one million people in the country.
