The Free Diving Fisherwomen of Tamil Nadu
These Tamil fisherwomen have been harvesting seaweed for decades to sustain themselves and finance their children's education. But a well-intentioned ban on seaweed collection to protect the environment became an obstacle to their survival. 🌊

03/04/2019 13:56How skillful these women are, no oxygen mask, just basic googles and worn out gloves and they may be the last kind as new generation are not becoming divers as it very risky. Eadible seaweeds have many nutrients in them and could be used in curbing nutrional deficiency. The problem here in India is that the focus is paid on harvesting and not on cultivation, which has led to overexploiation. So, cultivating seaweeds using modern technology can help both the women getting wages and also there won't be any deficit of seaweeds.
