Synopsis:
For the local community in Overi on the southeastern coast of India, their small-scale fishing livelihoods are under threat. As the government of India encourages the export of fish and prawns, large-scale commercial trawler boats are encroaching and destroying local community fishing grounds along the coast. The consequence is a rapid decline in local fish harvests and fish species diversity. Moreover, with rising fish prices, a crucial source of protein is becoming unaffordable for many rural communities. The local people of Overi narrate their story of the “restless shores”: the changes and challenges they are facing from the export-oriented commercial fishing boats as they struggle to maintain control over local fishing grounds, their fishing livelihoods and economic security.
