Mobility of labour across the country continues as a major source of labour supply in ensuring economic development across all sectors including the primary sector. The migrant labour in search of better employment emancipates better living conditions through meaningful employment and better financial status. The coastal states of Maharashtra with commendable marine fish landings provides states with commendable marine fish landings provide ample opportunities for migrant fishing labour across the year. The migrant labors are involved in harvest and post harvest operations. The present study tries to assess the major factors leading to labour migration and its effect in the state of Karnataka state. About 100 respondents were met for a primary survey and result reveals that the migration leads to the increase in savings. Majority (57 percent) of the respondents were youth (Below 30). Most respondents completed high school levels of education. The respondents migrated from 5 different states with majority from Jharkhand (36%), Assam (23%) and Orissa (13%) to Mangalore district in Karnataka and the 54 percent respondents migrated in the year 2000. Garrett ranking method assessed the main reason and problems of migration and also used to find the effect of migration on socioeconomic status. The main reason for migration is the low income and the major difficulty during migration was the difficulty in language. The major achievement of the migrant labour had been the quality education provided to their children.

“…In southern India, over 187 villages were severely impacted in the districts of Ernakulam, Alappuzha, and Kollam, which led to 171 fatalities, numerous injuries and a loss of property (Anilkumar and Banerji 2021;Sathiadhas et al 2006). The shery sector was one of the worst-hit by the tsunami with an average income loss of 40 to 67 percent, which led to exacerbation of poverty (Sathiadhas and Prathap 2008). The prices and harvest rates for many species such as soles, tunas and crabs plummeted to less than half, which also led to small sized species being harvested.…”

Unsustainable fishing practices, contribute to a continuous decline in marine fisheries ecosystem resources. However, a lack of understanding on how local systems can be used in fisheries management is evident in literature. This study used a systems-thinking approach to show how local fisheries management practices could be used to promote sustainability in Alappad, Kerala. Systems-thinking entailed understanding of the complex interdependent relationships between the economic, environmental and social factors of a fishery system. The first step involved conducting a systematic literature review and data extraction from peer review journals and official websites. These were analyzed using Excel and R. The second step involved the use of system thinking models comprising causal system dynamics and systems actor mapping to present complex information as interactive relationship maps. Findings highlighted the significance of collaborative decision-making procedures and the necessity of strong governance frameworks for efficient fisheries management. Thus, there’s a need to adopt co-management strategies that take into account practical and proactive knowledge of the fishery operations through effective research methods and local involvement in decision-making processes. This study contributes to the continuing discussion about sustainable fisheries management practices and offers policymakers, managers, and researchers a useful foundation for comprehending the intricate dynamics of the fisheries system in Alappad panchayat and creating effective management measures. These results would contribute to the sustainability of coastal communities and the fisheries on which they depend in Kerala and other regions throughout India and the world.

“…The majority of the women workers are drawn from Kerala because of their specialized skills, although women from Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka have also found employment in this segment (Jeyanthi et al, 2015;Warrier, 2001;Nishchith, 2000). Some of them find work in other allied sectors in the value chain as well (Sathiadhas and Prathap, 2009).…”

“…Though most of such mobility is limited to within the country, as Sathiadhas and Prathap (2009) point out, numerous coastal fishers from Tamil Nadu migrate to overseas destinations, which include the coasts of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and other Near Eastern and Caribbean nations mostly to work in the fishing vessels there. The trend is however not restricted among Tamil Nadu fishers alone, but prevalent along the coast, though not much is written about it.…”
