This is the second grant to the Small Fishers Federation of Lanka (Sudeesa) from Seacology’s tsunami relief fund. It provides funding to replace a destroyed fishing community hall used by fishers for meetings. It will also be used to buy 88 small fishing canoes and sets of fishing gear for villagers who lost their gear in the tsunami.
