Generations of fishermen in India’s coastal regions have practiced and perfected their craft for years. However, with changing environmental conditions after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and its devastating impact, a new generation of fishermen is using wireless technology to earn livelihoods in a safer and more profitable manner. The Fisher Friend Mobile Application provides critical information about weather and ocean conditions up to 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) from shore, including disaster alerts, Potential Fishing Zones (PFZs) and current market prices of fish, helping the fishermen improve their catch and their incomes.
