New boats, new nets — recovery in India

Man steering boat

Off southern India’s coast, Shanmugam maneuvers a new fiberglass boat. Two MCC partner agencies helped fisherfolk replace boats lost in the Dec. 26, 2004, tsunami. Fishing provides not only livelihoods; it represents a way of life. Both were destroyed, at least temporarily, after the tsunami.
