The document summarizes research conducted on the lives of fishermen in Karachi, Pakistan. It discusses the socioeconomic challenges they face, such as lack of access to education, healthcare, and clean water. While fishermen earn a stable income from fishing, they struggle during off-seasons when fish catches are low. The research found that fishermen communities would benefit from training programs, alternative livelihood opportunities, and government assistance to improve their living standards throughout the year.
The socio-economic status of fishermen community around Junglighat marine fish landing centre was studied. 141 families were interviewed during the present study. Medium families were dominated (48.89%) followed by large (26.67%) while very large families were only 6.66 %. Most of the members of fishermen families (44.44 %) were under the age group of 15 – 34. 89.7% children were attending government schools while, 10.3% were in private schools. The literacy rate was found to be higher (30.68%) and most attended middle school level and 0.5% were graduates. Major religions include Hinduism (54.9 %), Christianism (37.3 %) and Islam (7.8 %). The maximum number of settlers were from Andhra Pradesh (48.3%) followed by Tamil Nadu (38.3%), while the settlers from Kerala (8.4%) and Jharkhand (5%) were the least. Most of the families were found to be residing in semi pucca (asbestos) houses (73.1%) and fewer families (7.7%) were living in kutcha (thatched) houses. Most of the fishermen from Junglighat landing centre (87.1%) were Above Poverty Line (APL) and only (12.9%) lives in Below Poverty Line (BPL) status. 36.17% of the members earn between Rs. 3001 – 4000/- per month and 12.77% between Rs. 4001 – 5000/- per month. Hygienic status of the fishermen population was found to be better and most of the houses were with latrine facilities (97.3%) and only 2.7% were found to be without latrine facilities.
The positive fact is that the fishermen in those villages are intent to change their present state. The urge for a positive change and willingness to offer personal contributions for such a change is visible among both men and women. The basic need is to facilitate their journey towards this change, with proper direction and guidance.

The God’s own country is known for her ravishing beauty and hospitality nature. The potential in the tourism segment has been emphasized over the years. Lakes, rivers, ponds and lagoons supplement this argument along with the food habits especially fish as major menu. While the tourism flourishes, what is happening to the community associated with the fisheries along the coastal line of Kerala?

Thank you to Shannon Messer and the TU members for all they do to make sure we will live in the NC Trout Capital for many future generations. Shannon made a great presentation to our club today and is pictured with Club President Margaret.
Nigeria is the fourth largest importer of fish in the world, following China, Japan and the United States. Frozen fish varieties include mackerel (locally called titus or alaran), herrings (locally called shawa), horse mackerel (locally called kote), blue whiting (locally called panla), Argentina silus (locally called ojuyobo) and the popular croaker fish. The country’s top suppliers are the United States and Chile, but fish is also sourced from Europe, Asia, and a few African countries, including Mauritania, Algeria, and Mauritius.
Hey everyone this article here is my research work which I did during my first year of university, which captures the work and impact of trawl fishing in mahanadi and its estuaries. hope you like it :)

This study will determine baseline information on the region's existing marketing strategies and market structures of fish and shell. It will also consider benchmark data on the domestic consumption of fish shells, fish shell species preferred, and the daily volume of fish shells sold in local markets in the Province.
Handling is very important if fishing activity from catching to deliver it at consumer level. In this assignment i tried to give some appropriate information about good handling practice in fisheries
Fishing is integral to Bangladesh's culture, economy, and food security. Bangladesh has diverse fishing crafts and gears for different regions and fishing needs. Emphasis on responsible fishing practices and sustainability. Growing emphasis on adopting sustainable fishing practices in the Bay of Bengal, including the use of eco-friendly gear and gear modifications to minimize the impact on the marine environment. This includes the promotion of responsible fishing practices, such as seasonal closures, size limits, and catch-and-release policies, to ensure the long-term viability of fish stocks.
Introduction of new fishing gear holds the potential for improving fishing efficiency and sustainability, it must be accompanied by effective fisheries management and regulations to prevent overexploitation and protect the marine ecosystem in the Bay of Bengal.
Performances of resource poor households in aquaculture practices in sadar up...AbdullaAlAsif1
The present study was conducted to evaluate the performances of resource poor farmers in fish farming at their homestead ponds in Sadar Upazila under Meherpur district from July to October 2015. Participatory Rural Appraisal tools such as questionnaire interview, cross check interview and secondary information were used to assess the performances in aquaculture activities. Thirty pond fish farmers were purposively selected, among them 10, 5, 5, and 10 participants were involved with carp-mola, carp-tilapia and carp-shing polyculture and vietnam koi mono-culture respectively. The result showed that the majority of the farmers (33.33%) had 51-100 decimal cultivable land followed by 20 and 16.67% participants who possessed 151-200 and >300 decimal of land respectively. It was found that the highest percentage of participants (73.33%) primary occupation was agriculture followed by fish farming (3.33%). A majority of the farmers (53.33%) started fish farming only before 1-5 years influenced by the positive result of fish culture by the villagers and 20% each have started before 6-10 and 11-15 years back. Only 6.67% farmers started fish culture in 16 years before who were the pioneers of fish farming in the region. The average pond size in the area was found 15 decimal with a range of 7 to 35. Before starting fish culture all the farmers got training and inputs support for fish culture from a local NGO called Daridra Bimochon Sangstha (DBS). Prior to start fish farming all of the farmers followed standard procedure of pond preparation and fish fry release in their ponds. Majority farmers (90%) applied homemade feed, whereas rest applied commercial feed to their fish. By contrast, 90% farmers used to feed their fish and rest was reluctant to provide feed to the fish. Almost twenty seven percent respondents annual income was between BDT 61,000 to 80,000 followed by 20 and 10% whose income was 100000-150000 and >150000 BDT per year. During the culture operation, farmers usually had some problems such as pond drying, disease outbreak, dike erosion, shade of tree over the ponds, theft, snakes eating the fish etc.
Fish farming is the principal form of aquaculture, while other methods may fall under mariculture. Fish farming involves raising fish commercially in tanks or enclosures, usually for food. A facility that releases juvenile fish into the wild for recreational fishing or to supplement a species' natural numbers is generally referred to as a fish hatchery. Worldwide, the most important fish species used in fish farming are carp, salmon, tilapia and catfish.
There is an increasing demand for fish and fish protein, which has resulted in widespread overfishing in wild fisheries. Fish farming offers fish marketers another source. However, farming carnivorous fish, such as salmon, does not always reduce pressure on wild fisheries, since carnivorous farmed fish are usually fed fishmeal and fish oil extracted from wild forage fish. The global returns for fish farming recorded by the FAO in 2008 totalled 33.8 million tonnes worth about $US 60 billion.
Specific types of fish farms[edit source | editbeta]
Within intensive and extensive aquaculture methods, there are numerous specific types of fish farms; each has benefits and applications unique to its design.
Cage system[edit source | editbeta]
Giant gourami is often raised in cages in central Thailand
Fish cages are placed in lakes, bayous, ponds, rivers or oceans to contain and protect fish until they can be harvested. The method is also called "off-shore cultivation[7] " when the cages are placed in the sea. They can be constructed of a wide variety of components. Fish are stocked in cages, artificially fed, and harvested when they reach market size. A few advantages of fish farming with cages are that many types of waters can be used (rivers, lakes, filled quarries, etc.), many types of fish can be raised, and fish farming can co-exist with sport fishing and other water uses. Cage farming of fishes in open seas is also gaining popularity. Concerns of disease, poaching, poor water quality, etc., lead some to believe that in general, pond systems are easier to manage and simpler to start. Also, past occurrences of cage-failures leading to escapes, have raised concern regarding the culture of non-native fish species in open-water cages. Even though the cage-industry has made numerous technological advances in cage construction in recent years, the concern for escapes remains valid.
Main article: Copper alloys in aquaculture
Recently, copper alloys have become important netting materials in aquaculture. Copper alloys are antimicrobial, that is, they destroy bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, and other microbes. In the marine environment, the antimicrobial/algaecidal properties of copper alloys prevent biofouling, which can briefly be described as the undesirable accumulation, adhesion, and growth of microorganisms, plants, algae, tube worms, barnacles, mollusks, and other organisms.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

11. Overview of Fishermen Communities
Kakkapir Village, Sandspit:
The fishermen of Kakkapir Village claim that they are descendants of indigenous inhabitants of
Karachi. Kakkapir is one of the oldest village. The fishermen of Kakkapir use nets and they do
fishing near to the shore. There is no clean drinking water facility in the village; water borne
diseases are common among them. They face problems in off-seasons (May-June-July). They
sell their fish to fishery and sometimes private dealers come to them. They are independent,
happy and satisfied with their condition. They do not have any land problems. They live in
community with unity. They do not want to quit this occupation, and engage their children in
fishing at very early age.
Nagina, Kemari:
The fishermen of Kemari are not community based. They are deep sea fishermen, they go on
voyage of few weeks. Their key problem is unnecessary intervention of Navy. They can not quit
this profession because they are uneducated and they do not have any other skill, however, they
are willing to do any permanent job unlike fishing. There earnings are good but they face
problems in off-seasons the reason is they waste money and do not save. Their profit depends
upon the fish catch. The best thing they like about this occupation is that they are independent
in this profession, the more fish they have the more profit they get and they get profit without any
delay; they get money hand on hand once they docked their boats.
12. Chashma Village
The main source of income of Chashma Village people are Mangroves cutting, their
women also cut mangroves and sell wood and their males do fishing from nearest water
and use fishing nets. They have problem of clean drinking water. There is no school in
the village, the medical facilities are extremely poor in the village.
Baba Island and Bhitt Island:
They are indigenous fishermen, they use fishing nets and fishing rods for fishing. They
go on fishing for one day, some weeks and even for months as well. They major
problem is water, they purchase water of Rs.60 per gallon. In off-seasons, they use their
boats for providing transportation. There is poor quality of education and health
services on both islands. They also complaint about price fluctuation, they complain
that sometimes they get huge amount of fish catch but get same profit (when get low
fish catch). The Jetty of Baba Island and Bhitt Island is broken which increases their
difficulty while unloading their boats.
Fishery:
Here, I met with a group of Bengali fishermen. They invest approx. 4 lakh on one trip
and their income of Rs.27 lakh. Here, captain is the owner of the ship. He invested 2
lakh and one lakh from mole auctioneer and one lakh from fishery officer. 6% mole
commission, 5% fishery officer. He said that they save money for off-seasons and don’t
work in off-seasons. They are satisfied. Navy does not intervene because they have
complete documents. Their voyages is about one month; they don’t go on small trips.
13. Overview of officials
Marine Fisheries Department:
MFD is under control of Federal Government. Fisheries sector is on decline, the MFD officer describe the
reasons that:
• Over fishing
• Water pollution
• Using improper fishing techniques and harmful fishing nets
• Traditional boats
• The corruption in fisheries sector
Furthermore, he added that many Agencies like USAID and NGOs are earning money by name of fishermen.
But because fishermen are uneducated and unaware, they do not fight for their rights. The fishermen
communities are controlled by powerful personnel and it is not easy to intervene in their matters. And, they
fishermen earn good profits but they waste money. MFD provides different kinds of training for quality
assurance. The officer said, “Fisheries sector is in decline, in future, we don’t have fish to eat”. The major
chunk of fish catch are gone into trash and remaining are exported.
14. Overview of an NGO
Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum:
They advocate the rights of fishermen. He explain us the profit division (called
patti division). The mole auctioneers (middle man) sell their fish to companies
and take his commission that is 6.5%. Some mole auctioneers are from fishery
and some come from private companies.
He said that Navy is powerful and but plays a positive role. Navy does strict
checking for safety of fishermen. He guide us about the income of fishermen. He
said that fishermen’s profit is unstable, it solely depends on the amount and type
of fish catch. For instance, if fishermen get Sua Machi whose price is 3-5 lakh.
He added that fishermen frequently use “Gutka” even their women and children
also eat “Gutka”.
He further told us that PFF will also advocate those fishermen who were arrested
by Indian Army for trespassing Indian border.

Secondary Stakeholders perspective:
• Fishermen cut mangroves and use illegal nets which is extremely harmful for fish; ergo
sabotage fishing.
• All pre-requisites are for their safety and they think we waste their time.
• They do not have education and except few many fishermen does not save money, that
is an important reason they face difficulties in off-season.
• Many fishermen waste money.

19. Conclusion
Majority of fishermen are not willing to quit this occupation.
Education and health are serious issues of fishermen community. Due to their
unstable income they can not afford private schools and the government schools
quality of education are miserable.
The fishermen face problems, but every occupation has it own pros and cons,
despite of the fact, majority fishermen (we surveyed) claim that they are happy
with their life and occupation.
The positive fact is that the fishermen in those villages are intent to change their
present state. The urge for a positive change and willingness to offer personal
contributions for such a change is visible among both men and women. The
basic need is to facilitate their journey towards this change, with proper direction
and guidance.
Fishermen are independent and this provide them a sense of being powerful but
due to various factors they fail to change their standard of living.
