I have written about the need to ban catamarans and country crafts to go into the sea and I have suggested that communities will have to form coops and be given large fishing trawlers. Please read this in my blog spot- http://paddypadmanabhan.blogspot.com.
Please comment and write to me for creating a public opinion on this. If we make a proposal to the Government of India to convert atleast one community towards this it will be a great help.Thanks-S Padmanabhan
