Abstract

In this booklet, farmers and fishers from coastal regions in India, Bangladesh, Thailand and Malaysia describe their experience with the commercial aquaculture industry. These testimonies are grim as people speak about environmental destruction, the loss of mangrove forests, pollution, the displacement of entire villages, and the conflict that the industry has introduced. Yet these stories are also inspiring, as people from coastal communities describe how they organized to protect their environments and livelihoods, often under the threat of violence.
