"I lost my wife and two daughters along with fishing boat, fishing net and house.I don't have a job now. I don't want to go and live in Gonnoruwa, where the new township will be built. Because it's four kilometers away from the town. Fishermen have to live closer to the sea. I can't travel daily to the town from Gonnoruwa.If we live far away, who will look after our fishing boats and fishing nets on the shore, once we receive them in the future?And if I marry again, it will be a problem for me and bring a dispute in the family" says 40 year old fisherman Idris Mohamed Zain, from Hambantota town.
