Deep Sea Communication Networks for the Safety and Sustainability of Fishermen in India: A Survey

Due to long coastline of India, fishing is considered as the primary source of livelihood for the people in coastal zones. With nearly one million active fishermen, India is the 2nd largest fish producer in the world. Despite having long coastline and vast fishing community, natural calamities like cyclones frequently hit the fishing operations and render damage to the lives and property. The safety and sustainability of the fishermen remain major issues due to the lack of proper communication network from boat to shore. Though mobile network connectivity is available up to 22km from the seacoast, most of the fishermen venture into deep sea to perform the fishing activities. Recently, when the cyclone Ockhi ravaged the Arabian Sea coast, many fishermen from Kerala and Tamilnadu went missing due to delayed cyclone warning and network disconnection from the shore. In such vulnerable conditions, the fishermen community is posing serious question whether they would return safely to the shore another time when they go out to sea. Hence, this study highlights the need to develop emergency communication network for the safety of fishermen along the coastline. This survey presents a brief review of some of the solutions that address the emergency communication requirements for the fishermen far from the sea shore. Further, this study also highlights the need to install floating communication devices offshore to enable seamless connectivity during disaster times.

The geography of pilgrimage: Adriatic maritime pilgrimages and natural features of the landscape

In this article, we have analysed how natural features influenced the emergence of maritime pilgrimages in the Eastern Adriatic (three sites in Croatia and one in Montenegro). All researched locations are insular and dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Madonna). We applied a diverse methodology, including flying a drone and completing fieldwork and archival work studying old maps and documents. We believe that the geography of pilgrimages in these sites reflects the relational interaction between the religious practices of the local communities, mostly fisherman, and their lived environment. We argue that all four locations of the churches and sites of pilgrimage were, at least partially, determined by natural features of their environment, i.e. a safe harbour and a site protected from winds, located within fisherman communities living space, etc. Because of these environmental determinants, the local communities created their pilgrimage geography with ritualistic and religious pilgrimage practices and folklore.

‘Boat Quarantine’: Lessons Learned from SARS-CoV-2 Prevention and Control Measures in Fishing Communities in Thailand

SARS-CoV-2 posed, and continues to pose, a severe threat to life, and for fishermen in Thailand, specific multifaceted quarantine design measures have been required. In response to the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Trat province, a community quarantine centre was designed using boats as quarantine facilities. This study examines the implementation of boat quarantine in response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic within the fishermen communities in Trat province, Thailand. In-depth interviews with 45 key individuals who have been involved in the control and prevention of SARS-CoV-2 among fishermen in the fishing communities were subjected to a thematic analysis.

Using a boat as a place to self-isolate has become an effective form of quarantine for fishermen. This model has implications for the future of infectious disease control onshore, both while the pandemic continues and after the pandemic comes to an end.
