| Abstract | This abstract is based on the fieldwork done in Poonthura, a South India coastal community situated on the Arabian sea with a coastal length of 1 km. The study explores how climate change is defined by the community, who are resource dependent, whose major livilihood is fishing, fish vending and allied activities. Qualitative research approach has been used and the study findings are based on interviews with elder community members (25), focus group discussion (1) and observations. The narratives has reflected on the changing sea and seashore as well the one of the major cyclone, Okhi that hit the coast in 2017 and its impact on present day life of people. The elder women and men narrated about the slow sea erosion that is taking away their land, which has decreased the land area. Poonthura had larger shore which provided space for fish drying in the earlier times and today there is no space for drying fish. Another major impact of the sea erosion is the thickly populated coastal lane, where the houses along the shore has moved inward but not moved outside the community. Farther the community shift from the coast line, larger is their challenge in engaging in fishing and allied livelihoods. The greatest disaster that affected Poonthura coast is the Okhi cyclone in 2017, which is apart frequent tidal waves during monsoon and other rainy times. The cyclone has substantial number of deaths and missing of fishermen and the survivors of the cyclone are traumatised. This keeps them away from the livelihood and pushes women to engage more in the economy to run the households. |
