Resolving transboundary fishing conflicts in the Palk Bay: Report of a panel discussion prepared by Siddharth Premkumar, 2025 During a panel discussion on resolving the transboundary fishing conflicts in the Palk Bay between India and Sri Lanka, representatives from small-scale fisheries, civil society, academia and media shared their views on how eliminating illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing—namely, bottom trawling—in the Palk Bay will improve livelihoods of fishers in Northern Sri Lanka. The panellists offered their positions on possible means of resolving these conflicts towards empowering local fishers in Sri Lanka. The discussion was part of the three-day workshop, titled ‘Strengthening Collaboration and Capacity-building in Small-scale Fisheries’, jointly organized by International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) and Forum for Small-Scale Fisheries (FSSF), Sri Lanka, between February 24 to 26, 2025 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
