Abstract

Beaten by a combination of misdirected government policy and the wealth power of moneylenders, traditional fisherfolk of the riverside villages of Bangladesh are struggling for a just and satisfactory livelihood. The government’s present water body management policy was introduced in 1986. It is meant to provide access to waterbodies (locally called jalmohals, haors and beds) only through leases to fishermen’s co-operatives.
