Abstract

This report is the outcome of a series of six fishworkers’ consultations, organised to discuss the relevance and implementation of FAO’s Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines (SSF Guidelines), and my sincere thanks are due to the fishers and fishworkers - both men and women - who attended the consultations in Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh) on 23-24 January, in Bhubaneswar (Odisha) on 26-27 January, in Kultuli (West Bengal) on 30-31 January, in Kolkata (West Bengal) on 1-2 February, in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) on 5 February, and in Ramnad (Tamil Nadu) on 7 February. It is particularly noteworthy that the consultations ran to ‘full-house’ despite their schedule coinciding with peak fishing and other activities in most states.
