Fisherman-activist Ganesh Nakhawa talks to us about navigating tradition and technology, the shrinking coastlines of Mumbai, and what keeps him tied to the sea as a Koli fisherman.
An impact campaign inspired by the film Against the Tide, the Mumbai Koli Project aims to spotlight the city’s original fisherfolk, the Koli community, and their evolving relationship with the sea, while encouraging Mumbaikars to make more sustainable, seasonal, and inclusive seafood choices.
Divya Karnad, the cofounder of InSeason Fish, is helping people identify different species of fish, and raising awareness on eating locally and seasonally.
