However, non-arrival of tourists due to the health restrictions of the day has noticeably affected them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Stilt fishing is a popular spectacle for the overseas tourists. The foreigners\u2019 habit of taking photographs also brought some extra income to these traditional anglers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Nevertheless, these fishermen are faced with a drastic decline of fish resources in the shallow seas. Many of the small-size fish that are caught by the stilt fishermen have been wiped out due to the illegal fishing methods carried out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">A stilt fisherman of Sinha Fishery Village, A.W. Ramyasiri (58) said that they go fishing from May to October every year during which period small-size fish such as koraburuwo and salayo are found in abundance in the shallow waters near Koggala.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47723 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/The-sight-of-fishermen-4.jpg\" alt=\"The sight of fishermen\" width=\"450\" height=\"255\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cThe fish resources have been largely destroyed due to the fishing by motorised boats. They used nylon nets for fishing which are harmful to the fish. The fish which are caught by our fishing rods are very small. The big fish are caught by fishing nets,\u201d Ramyasiri said.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cBefore the outbreak of coronavirus many tourists visited this area. They photographed us and paid us, providing us a good income. Now there are no tourists here,\u201d he said.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Traditional fisherman B.W. Kithsiri (51) said, \u201cWe are carrying out our occupation without any specific problem. We earn our living from this method of fishing. The low tide is favourable for stilt fishing. Our fish harvest is also good. We can earn about Rs. 1,500 per day which is enough to cover our daily expenses.\u201d<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">M.A. Ariyasena (70) of Sinha Fishery Village said: \u201cStilt fishing has been our main occupation for many years. Almost all others lost their livelihoods due to the coronavirus outbreak. But we could carry out our job unhindered during the recent difficult period. We engage in our industry from dawn to dusk and earn a moderate income for our daily needs.\u201d<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cWe have three thriving specific fishing areas in Koggala, namely, Maraduwala, Modarahinna and Andana. They are our popular fishing spots. We have a good market for our fish harvest.\u201d<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cHowever, catching fish using lead weights is an environmentally friendly mode of fishing. We produce them ourselves by using cuttlefish bones as moulds for casting. So our fish are free of poisonous substances. They are tastier than the fish harvested by using nylon nets,\u201d Ariyasena said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Low tide heralds stilt fishing in Koggala &#8211;Mahinda P.
