Pic from the field trip to Mangamari peta, Vizag during Media Workshop on Climate Change, Climate Justice and Resilience in #BayOfBengal organised by #Internews , #EarthJournalismNetwork and #ThirdPole. I joined the programme as a Resource Person to speak on Freshwater Challenges in Bay of Bengal due to climate change.
Knowledge of responsible fishing is a matter of the past.
Such old men find it hard to convince the young generations and hence surrender
to the new unsustainable methods themselves. Market demands the fishermen to
harvest as much fish as they can. The sea is bouncing back, giving more and
more dry days. And when the bumper catch happens, a huge chunk of that goes
waste. Climate change and pollution as such play spoilsport, driving away the
younger generation from this traditional occupation.
