Abstract

Deep down in the south of India, in the coastal State of Kerala, live about one million people who depend, either directly or indirectly, on small-scale fishing and related activities. In all, there are about 130,000 active fishermen working from the beaches of Kerala. In recent years, the Trivandrum district of this State has seen attempts to regenerate the capacity of the seas. The work has focused mainly on three communities of about 500 fishing families and, to a lesser extent, on another eight communities.
