Palk bay is a shallow and narrow strip of water between Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu, Palk Bay has a rich ecosystem which is being progressive environmental attenuation due to bottom trawling. Elimination of bottom trawling in fishing is needed to save that rich ecosystem in Palk bay. It is important to suggest environmental healthy fishing practices and to inspire the dependent families of bottom trawling to enter into substitute job opportunities. Bottom trawling leads to many problems in whole ecological structure and life below water. Since a large number of people in Sri Lanka are committed in this fishing practice, this directly affects moreover the whole Sri Lankan Northern livelihood.
