A practical action plan needs to be in place to improve the safety of small-scale fishers, protect their rights and livelihoods, and ensure the long-term sustainability of marine fisheries in view of the changing climate, said speakers at a consultation workshop in Machilipatnam on Monday (October 12, 2026).

The workshop was organised by the District Fishermen’s Youth Welfare Association and Fisheries Community Organisations Network of Andhra Pradesh (FISHCON), with support from the Bay of Bengal Programme Inter-Governmental Organisation (BOBP-IGO). It highlighted the debilitating impact of cyclones, floods, and other climate disasters on fishing communities.
