Abstract

Stop trawling within one year. This was the ultimatum that fishermen from the Northern Province of Sri Lanka gave their counterparts in the Indian State of Tamil Nadu, when representatives from both countries met in Chennai during 22 - 24 August 2010 to evolve a formula that would enable them to fish together peaceably in the Palk Bay and Palk Straits.
