The Fishermen in Thoothoor area of Kanyakumari Distirct, Tamil Nadu, India are highly skilled in deep sea fishing. They are adventurous and hard working. They venture into the entire Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of India and also beyond the EEZ. Their traditional knowledge is very supportive in Navigation. But they are not safe at sea because of rough climate, unfavourable water current, unpredicted collision with ships, cross boarder incidents etc. The death rate at sea is 24000 per year. According to ILO fishing is the second most dangerous occupation in the world. In this backdrop Association of Deep Sea Going Artisanal Fishermen (ADSGAF) looked for the support of IEEE to get feasible solution to the above said problems. A separate group is also formed which is called ‘Artisanal Deep Sea Fishers’ under the category of IEEE’s SIGHT. (Petition submitted and it is being under approval)
