Abstract

T Peter, the General Secretary of the National Fishworkers Forum (NFF), India, passed away on 8 October, 2020. About a week earlier, on 2 October, Peter had led a protest at sea in Kollam (Quilon), Kerala, against a shipping corridor routed through the famous ‘Quilon bank’, a rich fishing ground falling between the 200-metre and 500-metre depth lines. He was unaware that he had already contracted the virus.
