Abstract

This study explored the role of local self-governments in the socio-economic life of traditional fisher workers. The discussion was on livelihood, climate change and its effects, privatisation of resources, and sea safety of fishing communities in Kerala. Fish workers represent the primary food sellers in Kerala, and this community build a more extensive system of workers with different functions. The socio-economic parameters of development recognise the marginality of the fisher community. Effects of climate change have been seen in the land and sea, and coastal people are most prone to the impacts of climate change. Kerala witnessed tsunamis, cyclones, floods, sea surges and changes in the ocean for the last twenty-five years, which transformed the life of fisher workers. The emergence of tourism and privatisation of natural resources also have affected the environment of the sea, thus, the life of fisher workers. It causes changes in the ocean, destroys houses and properties, and leads to fatalities of coastal people which ends in the alienation of the community from the development.
