GPS devices boosted Car Nicobar fishermen’s catches by 168%, improving safety, income, and food security.
GPS devices distributed to tribal fishermen in Car Nicobar have boosted daily fish catches by 168%, improved safety, and increased incomes, according to India’s Ministry of Science & Technology.
Five individual units and five shared devices were provided, along with training in navigation and modern techniques, helping fishers avoid dangerous weather and reduce time at sea.
The initiative, led by the Central Island Technological Research Institute and supported by the Tribal Council, has enhanced local food security and livelihoods, with beneficiaries like Junaid and Abdul Sattar selling surplus catch locally.
The project integrates science with traditional knowledge, though some call for independent assessment of long-term sustainability and environmental impact.
