Abstract

Fisher folk’s dependence on depleting fishery resources and open access nature of fisheries reflecting the tragedy of the commons, has resulted in a core of adaptation measures which has led them to seek livelihood diversification. Fishermen families within themselves are seen to engage in multiple income generating activities or observed to move away to fishery/non fishery related livelihoods. This study documents the case of boat building as a livelihood occupation among fisher folk of Chinnamuttom fishing village, Kanyakumari district.
