As part of the awareness campaign under the National Innovation in Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) project, scientists from the institute presented information on the science behind climate change, its impacts on fisheries and adaptation to mitigate its impacts on the livelihoods of the fisher community. Told about strategies. Two major fishing villages in the district.
According to scientists, increases in sea surface temperatures may result in many economically harvestable fish stocks shifting to relatively colder waters, causing changes in fish distribution, thereby impacting fishing catches.
Additionally, rising temperatures are reducing oxygen levels in inland water bodies, threatening aquatic species and making them more vulnerable to diseases.
During the interactive session, the fishermen community of both the villages raised their issues including lack of marketing facilities and poor catch.
To address the issue of reduced shelf life of locally harvested fish due to rising temperatures, CMFRI has provided ice, water and ice water to the fisherman women during the programme, besides providing gillnets, cast nets, utensils and sea bass fish seeds. Distributed boxes of.
