Imagine heading into the sea with a 40-45 days plan, and an expenditure of $15,000 (approximately Rs. 12,30,607), only to realise that the weather forecast was incorrect. "More intense storms, limited communication and low price of fish are the main challenges for artisanal deep-sea fishers," shares Robinson Remmy, a fisher from Kanniyakumari.

In the past five years, the Arabian Sea has witnessed several extremely severe winds (above 168-kilometre per hour) just before the monsoon. Cyclone Biporjoy ('Disaster' in Bengali) hit Gujarat this year, rapidly intensifying on its long journey along the Arabian Sea. In 2021, cyclone Tauktae lasted several days before its landfall in Gujarat. In 2019, cyclone Vayu came close to Gujarat but moved towards Oman. Cyclone Mekunnu lashed Oman in 2018.

With the sea warming and becoming more prone to intense storms, artisanal deep-sea fishers need more efficient and affordable information and communication technologies and ready access to weather forecasts to stay safe.
