"I earn only Sri Lankan Rupees 200/= per day. I have four children to look after. We used to take either forty or fifty fishing nets to the sea to catch fish. But now we have only eight fishing nets. And it is very difficult to catch crabs and lobsters using these small fishing nets. A fishing net costs Sri Lankan Rupees 4,000" says thirty eight years old fisherman Ponniah Yogathas of Athikovilady in Valvettithurai - Jaffna.
