Men with no prior experience being employed in boats, says study

Kochi (Kerala):
Of all the 14 persons who were on board Carmel Matha, the fishing boat which was involved in a mid-sea collision on Sunday, no fishermen belonged to Kerala. Surprising as it may seem, the fact, however, has come as no surprise to those in the marine fisheries sector.

A cursory glance at the functioning of fishing harbours of Kochi will show you that whatever labour on the boats operating here is done by migrants.

A latest study by the Centre for Migration and Inclusive Development (CMID), Kochi, has found that fisherfolk in the sector comprise skilled and non-skilled fishers from Sundarbans region in West Bengal; Puri, Khorda, Cuttack and Baleswar districts on the Odisha coast; Srikakulam and Vizianagaram districts in coastal Andhra Pradesh; Udupi district in Karnataka, apart from Tamil fishermen from Kanyakumari, Cuddalore, Thoothukkudy and Ramanathapuram districts.

According to Benoy Peter, executive director of CMID, men from Assam and West Bengal having no prior experience in fishing were being employed in fishing boats. “Only a very few young men from the State find fishing as an attractive means of livelihood. As a result of which, native labour force diminishes and the shortage of labour is addressed by engaging workers from other States,” he said.
