Abstract

Meenakshi Manna is the first seagoing fisherwoman I have met in India. Spurred by the fact that her family’s debt burden from purchase of fishing implements was increasing, seven years ago she decided to make her fishing boat her home. Operated till then only by her husband, Meenakshi sold her small plot of land and started fishing with her husband and two sons. Today she navigates the 25 HP motorized 35-foot plank boat, uses a variety of nets and directly sells the catch in the wholesale market.
