Abstract

Many issues face the women seaweed collectors in the Gulf of Mannar, including restriction of access to seaweed resources, methods to be used to harvest seaweed in non-destructive ways, closed season, and low market prices. Their future in the only livelihood they have known depends on whether their perspectives are incorporated into the upcoming management plan for the national park and biosphere reserve, and on the manner in which these plans are implemented.
