The Hindu : A fishing season that brings no cheer
This fishing season has brought no cheer to the over 10, 000 odd fishermen active on Jumbudwip Island, following the West Bengal Government's decision to disallow fishing activities there.
The fate of these fishermen, and an equal number of those engaged in fishing-related activities, now seems uncertain unless the Supreme Court's interim order is interpreted in the right context.
While the State Government points out that the order, passed on August 25 this year, banned all fishing activities on the island to protect the biodiversity, the National Fisherworkers' Forum (NFF) and the Environmental Justice Initiative (EJI) which have taken up the issue suggest that the ban is only on the use of mechanised boats and trawlers, and not on the country boats.
In fact, some fishermen are on the verge of bankruptcy because they have already made advance payments to the labour and bought tools and implements for fishing, according to NFF and EJI activists.
Spread over 2, 250 hectares, south of the Sunderbans in the Bay of Bengal, Jumbudwip Island has been the source of livelihood for the Santhal families who do not categorise themselves as part of the fishing community but fishing has been their profession since 1955.
