International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (2003) Dangerous calling, the life-and-death matter of safety at sea: a collection of articles from SAMUDRA Report. Chennia, India, International Collective in Support of Fishworkers, (SAMUDRA Dossier)
Abstract
Fishing is arguably the world's most dangerous vocation, reporting the highest rate of occupational fatalities among industries, made only worse by declining fish prices, overfished waters and shortened fishing seasons. As fishermen are forced to move farther away from shore in search of scarce resources, the dangers they face are many: bad weather, rough seas, flooding, fire, poor vessel design, mechanical problems navigational error, missing safety equipment. For the small-scale and artisanal fishers of developing countries, these problems are compounded several times over, as this series of articles from SAMUDRA Report reveals. (44pp.)
