Swadeep has been working on one of the key thematic interventions under the Livelihoods portfolio which is fisheries livelihood development. The fishery sector has witnessed serious crises during the last decade owing to its limitations to adjust to the changing environment. It is caught in a net of interrelated problems like lack of finance, lack of storage facilities, lack of awareness of market information, uncertain quality of fish, low level of education among fishermen, lack of availability of other and alternative profitable occupations, inadequate income, relatively high level of expenditure, extremes of climate and many more.
