  • Most of the fishermen have no other income generating skills apart from fishing.
  • The fishermen are not used to saving money, because they have not adopted any savings and banking culture.
  • The reliance of income from Fishing and its related activities is very high that when the Fishermen are unable to go to fishing, the result is economic distress.
