Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Kalawati Eknath Mangela and Parvati Bai Somna do not consider themselves fisherwomen any more. Every time they cast nets in the Arabian Sea, off the Tadgam beach in Valsad district of Gujarat, all they catch is garbage. "We have turned into kachrawalis (ragpickers). Ten years ago our daily fish catch would fetch Rs 250; now even Rs 20 a day is tough," said Parvati, 50, standing waist-deep in sea water, tightly holding the net. "See all this waste entangled in our net. Industrial pollution has killed our sea."
