These flood waters wash away the fishes from the ghers, adding to the suffering of the local fish farmers. “I have received various training on fish farming for capacity building by the Upazila Fisheries Office. Upazila Fisheries Office also organized fish farming exhibitions for disseminating modern fish farming techniques to the local farmers”, Bidhan stated. More advocacy at the community level can make fish farming one of the dominant livelihood options as well as more resilient and sustainable.
