Fishery as a Livelihood Strategy for Tsunami Victims –
A Study in Kilvelur Taluk, Nagapattinam District

S. Shanthi, M.A, M.Phil. and N. Malathi, Ph.D.

Abstract

This paper highlights the impact of the 26th December 2004 Tsunami on fisheries in Kivelur Taluk, Nagapattinam District. It focuses on accounting for the losses and damages to human lives, fishing equipments, livelihood and loss of employment and income of affected people. Rehabilitation measures by various assisting agencies and NGOs are also discussed and recommendations for better disaster management are provided.

Introduction

All the countries bordering the Indian Ocean depend on fishery, which was affected on 26th December, 2004. Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Somalia, India and its Andaman and Nicobar Islands have been some of the areas under stress due to Tsunami. The direct impact on the fishing industry includes the destruction of the boats, death of the workers, loss of equipment and the make-over of the coastal landscape. Fishing industries greatly rely on transportation systems to the market. The distribution of ports, roads, and rail systems has also taken a positive role on fishing industry. But all these have been terribly affected on that day and for a long subsequent period.
