Income generation for those affected by the Tsunami

Project number: 03-Stunami-2005
District: Jaffna
Sector: Income generation
Brief description:
This project will generate income for fishermen affected by the Tsunami. As a result of the disaster 4,600 families were displaced to 27 villages. These fishermen traditionally use 2 types of methods of fishing: deep-sea fishing and coastal net fishing. The fishermen have lost all their dwellings and possessions including fishing gear in the recent disaster. Particulars of families affected by the disaster are annexed.

Background:
Fishermen from Jaffna coastal area are grouped around 6 bases:

1.Chundikulum- Ampan 19 km of coast

3.Inparuddy- Katkovalam 6km

4.Valvettiturai- Inparuddy 3.5 km

5.Valvettiturai- Keerimalai 7km

6.Karainagar Casuarina beach- Kovalam 2.5km

Fishermen have been either engaged in deep-sea fishing or coastal net fishing.
Fishermen of both categories have been using outboard-motorized boats and trawlers.

Justification:
All 4,600 displaced families need to be provided with resettlement facilities. The fish from coastal Jaffna used to be marketed as

• Iced fish and sent to the south of Sri Lanka .
• As dried fish to a small extent
• Mostly fresh fish for local consumption.

The whole of the fishing community of 22,000 have been exclusively depending on fishing. It is intended to help the community to get back to their original activities by this project.
