Abstract

Ramida Sarasit, 48, is the president of the Southern Women Fisheries Association and Secretary for the alternative livelihood group of Libong Island, the largest island in Thailand's Trang province. With its picturesque red-brown beaches and ubiquitous rubber trees, Libong Island is home to a small Muslim fi shing community whose mainstay besides fi shing is rubber farming. The island once had healthy mangroves along its coast but due to human activity, the mangroves that once served as natural barriers to large waves and intense winds are today in a depleted state.
