1 The Situation of Small-Scale Fisheries in Mannaar, Sri Lanka Dr. Augstine Soosai University of Jaffna April 2008 Gjestetun, Os, Norway
2 Introduction Mannaar affected by war for 3 decades Fisheries is the main source of income Intensive military confrontations for the past 1-year We will look at the current situation faced by the Tamil speaking fishermen in Mannaar
3 Mannaar District: Location & geographical background Mannaar district is located in the Northwestern Sri Lanka which is one of the five administrative districts of the Northern Province. The district covers 2,002 sq km including the island of Mannaar, approximately 3% of the total land area of Sri Lanka. Geographically, the bulk of Mannaar is on the mainland within the arid and dry zone. High temperature, 26.5º C ºC and low rainfall a characterizes acte es the climate. Mannaar receives 60% of its rainfall during the Northeast Monsoon which lasts from October to December.
4 Mannaar District
5 Mannaar District: Location & geographical background [continued] Population in the district, according to the 1981 Census: 106,900. It is 0.71% of the total population of Sri Lanka. Government Agents offic in Mannaar estimated the population of the district in March 2003 as 97,101. This figure includes 5,276 displaced families (21,632 individuals, originally from the other districts of NorthEast. It excludes nearly 40,000 displaced persons living outside of the district and an additional 30,000 in refugee camps in South India.
6 Mannaar District: Location & geographical background [continued] According to the Mannaar district fisheries extension officers, the pre-war fisherfolk population in Mannaar consisted of 16,159 persons from 4,402 fishing families and 32 fishing villages, approximately 16% of the population of the district. Most of the fishing families have been displaced due to the war before the signing of Norwegian facilitated 2002 Ceasefire Agreement. During the peace process between the GoSL and the LTTE, some of the fishing families returned to Mannaar and gradually resettled in their villages, rising the number of fishing families to 7,033 at the end of This is 28% of the total population of the entire district.
7 Mannaar District: Location & geographical background [continued] However, extensively demarcated military High Security Zones (HSZ), especially in coastal area, has caused many displaced families in South India to remain there, unable to resettle in Mannaar. After the break-down of the CFA in September 2006, fishermen in two entire divisions, Musali and Maanthai, in the district have been completely displaced. 8,286 persons from15 fishing villages, constituting 29,5% of the total fishing population of Mannaar, have become IDPs.

10 Marine Resources Mannaar district, including the Mannaar island, is surrounded by rich fishing areas. Most productive fishing ground lie in the Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannaar. When compared with the other parts of Sri Lanka, the sea of Mannaar has remarkable marine environment suitable for fishing. Mannaar district i t has a marine coast line with a stretch t of 163 km, from Theavanpiddi in the north to Mu l likku lam in south. Fresh-water area of 4,867 ha. Encircling the Mannaar island is a shallow continental shelf with rich fishing banks, pearl bank and prawn banks as well as extensive area of 3,828 ha with brackish water and mangroves.
11 Marine Resources Source: Hydrographer of the Sri Lanka Navy
12 Marine Resources [continued] The Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannaar coastal warters over continental shelf contain a variety of species of fin fish, shell fish and holothurians. Shallow water species such as silver billies, bream, prawn, rabbit fish, mullet, cuttle fish and squid. The large pelagic fish such as paarai, seer, barracuda and Katta are also caught in addition to prawn and crabs. The coastal lagoon is a shallow / tidal flats area between the Mannaar island and the mainland, which holds various pelagic and demersal inshore species. This diversity of marine environment with rich fish resources has been the basis for a long and strong tradition of lagoon, coastal and offshore fishing as well as collecting of marine products by diving.
13 Fishing methods Generally, fishing sector is divided into three sub-sectors in Sri Lanka: 1. Coastal Fisheries, 2. Offshore/Deep Sea Fisheries, and 3. Inland Fisheries (which includes aquaculture and both freshwater and brakish water) In Mannaar, 99% of the fishing is Coastal Fisheries. Inland fishing is abandoned due to war conditions There is no offshore/deep sea fisheries in Mannaar. Despite the introduction of Multi-Day Boats in early 80 s, the Sri Lankan military has not allowed the Tamil speaking in the area to own MD boats.
14 Fishing methods [continued] Two types of fishing methods are identified in Mannaar, traditional and modern. Kaddumaram (thepppam), va l lam lam, o ru oru are the boats used in traditional fishing. Set nets, beach-seines, castnet, traps and handlines. Traditional methods are used by 30% of the fishing industry in Mannaar. Trawler (28-32 feet, IBM) and FRGB boats ( feet, OBM) with trawl-nets, gill-nets and ring-nets are the modern fishing tools in use. Gill-nets: 61% Trawl-nets: 3% Set-nets:20% Beach-senies, hand-lines, traps, etc., including diving: 16%

16 Production Trend (MT) Table 3: Year Production Source: DFEO'S - Mannaar
17 Production Trend Fish Production in Mannaar, in MT Production Year
18 Production Trend Stage 1: Post-Independence growth ( ) Production was low due to the inefficient fishing methods based on traditional technology Stage 2: Transition to modern fishing methods ( ) OBM & IBM boats, nets using synthetic fiber were introduced. Development of infrastructure facilities for processing and preservation. 5-6% of the coastal fish production was covered by Mannaar during early 80 s. (9,745 MT of 182,530) Stage 3: War time collapse of fisheries
19 [continued] War time collapse of fisheries: Production Trend Eelam War I ( ): Displacement to South India with boats and Internal displacement. Production falls from 9,745 MT in 1982 to 7,825 MT in IPKF-Period P ( ): An average of 8,000 MT Eelam War II ( ): Deep fall in production to average MT Eelam War III ( ): average 4500 MT (1-2% of coastal fishing in SL) CFA period ( ): Resettlement of refugees, relaxed military restrictions doubles the production to 9000 MT (3-11% of coastal fishing in SL) Eelam War IV (2006 onwards): The production starts to fall and at the end of year 2007 the situation gets worsened, resulting in an average annual production of 7469 MT. Due to heavy replacement and military restriction in 2008 as Mannaar has become the main theatre of war, the production is very low.
20 Conflict areas in Mannaar Entire Mannaar district could be divided into the five regions due to the ongoing war: 1. Sri Lanka Army (SLA) controlled area with people: Mannaar and Naanaaddaan Divisions 2. SLA controlled areas without civilians: Musali (Silaavattu rai) 3. War Zone: Madu and Maanthai (LTTE controlled per 2002 CFA agreement) 4. Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE) controlled area without civilians: Northern parts of Maanthai and Madu 5. LTTE controlled area with civilians in Maanthai and Madu divisions Fishing is only conducted in SLA controlled area (1) of Mannaar and Naanaaddaan Divisions.

22 Conflict areas in Mannaar
23 War-stricken Mannaar A major part of the costal line has been vacated at the end of 2007 and the situation gets worsened day by day due to displacement. Southern coastal line (entire Musali division) has been de-populated by the military offensive at the end of Northern coastal line in Mannaar (Northern Maanthai) has been affected heavily due to artillery barrage, indiscriminate i i aerial bombardment and ongoing confrontations on the ground. Fishing activity is going on amid heavy military restrictions along a g y g g y y g small stretch of the coastal line in Naanaaddaan and around the Mannaar island.
24 Challenges faced by Small-Scale fishermen 1. Security threats & harassments - Pass system - Distance restriction - Time restriction (different restriction on leaving and returning) - Restriction in fuel - Restricted sea/coastal area - Sea mines? - Restrictions placed on engine horse-power - Restrictions on number of engines - Anchorage allowed only in military zones - Aerial attacks and artillery barrage
25
26 [continued] Challenges faced by Small-Scale fishermen 2. Trespassing Indian Fishermen Indian fishermen using trawlers trespass into Mannaar territorial waters and engage in trawl-net fishing, exploiting the fish resources such as beach de mer, prawns, chunk etc. Drift-nets used by local fishermen get destroyed, causing extensive financial burden. They engage in large scale fishing for 3-days in a week. Mannaar fishermen are unable to engage in fishing activities during these days in the seas controlled by Indian fishermen. Confrontations between the local fishermen and the Indian fishermen across historical waters.

28 Trawlers of trespassing Indian fishermen in the custody of Sri Lanka Navy, 2004
29 [continued] 3. Dynamite fishing Challenges faced by Small-Scale fishermen Certain villagers engage in illegal fishing using explosives, causing damage of fish resources, coral reefs and mangrove. Indirect damage: drift-nets and beach-seine get damaged by the material dumped by the dynamite fishermen. Tree logs, concrete and steal shrapnel destroy the above nets. Coastal vegetation is destroyed as trees are cut by those who engage in illegal fishing. Physical injuries to fishermen.
30 [continued] 4. Other issues: Challenges faced by Small-Scale fishermen Displaced fishermen encroach traditional coastal-stretches used by local fishermen. Local fishermen are unable to engage in fishing by using beach seine along these stretches (karaivalai paadu) as settlers use set nets there. Conflict between local fishermen and IDP fishermen. Infrastructure (roads and distribution facilities) disturbed by the war.
31 Solutions: Resettlement, removal of restrictions, restoration of infrastructure effective rehabilitation and reconciliation is possible only in a peaceful environment where fishermen could enjoy their legal rights and liberty. Removal of sea mines and dismantling of High Security Zones. A solution for the problem of trespassing could be achieved by effective dialogue and mutual understanding between the fishermen on either sides of Palk Strait. These are Tamil fishermen who share their historical waters. Currently the States in New Delhi and Colombo seem to neglect the interests of these people. Only an effective administration without the involvement of corrupted military and police officials, could put an end to illegal fishing activities such as dynamite fishing. Effective enforcement of law is also needed to counter such practices. Awareness campaign on crucial issues.
32 Conclusion: These solutions are only possible in a peaceful environment created through a negotiated settlement in which Tamil speaking people gain self-rule, with political and administrative control on their own affairs. Thank you!
