Wahiduzzaman and Md. Robiul Hasan Department of Fisheries and Marine Science, Noakhali Science and Technology University, Noakhali-3814, Bangladesh Abstract: The study became performed to perceive the sorts of fishing gears, crafts, their availability and their mode of operation in fishing at Nijhum Dwip during the period from January to June 2019. Data were collected by key informants interview, questionnaire interview, crosscheck discussion and secondary sources. A total of 8 types of fishing gears and 2 types of crafts were identified among them fishing nets were categorized into 5 grouped based on their mode of operation or action and catching of fish including gill net, fixed purse net, seine net, cast net, framed/ dip net. Among them, 1 type of gill nets (illish jal/chandi jal), fixed purse nets (behundi jal), seine net (jogot ber jal), cast net (jhaki jal/khapla jal), framed or dip net (thela jal), hooks and lines (sip or barsi), traps (polo), fishing spears (teta) were found. Float and sinkers were used in nets where locally available materials made the float, sinker was made by iron and zinc alloy. Synthetic twines were used for net making and mending. No chemical or medicine was used; only the net was dried under the sun and put it on a safe and dry place. Two (2) types of fishing crafts were identified from the present study viz. chandi nauka and chooto trawler. Traditionally, fishers use woods (chapalish, telshur, mehe guni, rendi karai and kali korai), bamboos and irons to make their boats, which are locally available and was furnished by coal tar and burned oil. Most of the fishing operated boats are mechanized. The fisherman used some of the gears like ber jal and behundi jal, which were banned by the government. Majority of the boats have no licenses, which reflects a lack of awareness and law enforcement by the responsible authority.

Among these, Bangladesh with its capital Dhaka is today widely recognised to be one of the regions most vulnerable to climate change and its triggered associated impacts. Natural hazards that come from increased rainfall, rising sea levels, and tropical cyclones are expected to increase as climate changes, each seri- ously affecting agriculture, water & food security, human health and shelter. It is believed that in the coming decades the rising sea level alone in parallel with more severe and more frequent storm surges and stronger coastal ero- sion will create more than 20 million people to migrate within Bangladesh itself (Black et al., 2011).

Shaheena had her second baby delivered at the Nijhum Dwip (a remote island in Hatiya upazila on the south of Bangladesh) Union Health and Family Welfare Centre (UH&FWC) on the day the facility started functioning. For Shaheena, delivering at a health facility was hardly an option before. Shaheena lives in a village in Nijhum Dwip. The nearest health facility from Nijhum Dwip was in Jahajmara union which was hard-to-reach and expensive, would take at least 2-3 hours journey by engine boat and rikshaw van. For about 30,000 people who call Nijhum Dwip their home, ‘delivery at home’ had therefore been the only option. On November 1, 2017, the remote island got its first health center equipped with sufficient essentials to provide a range of basic healthcare services including normal delivery services. Six weeks later, the Nijhum Dwip UH&FWC started providing 24/7 normal delivery services to the community. Now the people of Nijhum Dwip, one of the hardest-to-reach areas in Bangladesh, have the option to avail normal delivery services by skilled birth attendants around-the-clock and free of cost. The establishment of the Nijhum Dwip UH&FWC represents a novel initiative undertaken by the district family planning department and local government with MaMoni HSS project playing the facilitation role.

The facility infrastructure was inadequate and there was little interest in the community to seek health services from the facility. Over the next year and a half, the situation improved considerably, thanks to the efforts of Kirtonia. Kirtonia started conducting eight satellite sessions a month in her catchment area to provide maternal, newborn, child health, family planning and nutrition services and used the platform to encourage mothers to visit the health facility to access services. In the union follow-up meetings, she entreated health workers to keep contact with expectant mothers over the phone. Like many paramedics or FWVs, she did not limit her services to only the official timeline (8:30 am to 2:30 pm). Instead, she started living in the FWV quarter and would readily extend her services around the clock with a smile on her face, effectively making the facility a 24/7 service delivery point. Very soon her reputation spread in the community and to villages even further out and mothers from the neighboring unions started coming to her. The service utilization in her facility started to soar - ANC visits rose from counts of about 30-40 to around 200, while the number of deliveries conducted at the facility increased from 3-5 per month to 18-20 per month.

    Prospects for Rural Regional Development in the De- Agrarianizing Rural Bangladesh A dissertation submitted to the University of Hawai’i at Manoa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Urban and Regional Planning) By Saiful Momen 2016 Dissertation Committee: Clyde (Mike) Douglass, Chair Kem Lowry Krisnawati Suryanata James H. Spencer Reece Jones © Saiful Momen, 2016 ii Acknowledgement I wrote the words in this dissertation. But this dissertation came into being because of the generosity and active labor of many people. Their love (or pity!) for me is unfathomable and I feel enormously grateful to them. Dr. Mike Douglass, my adviser and the fountainhead of the ideas in this dissertation, was unbelievably patient and continued to encourage me to write even when I thought I had hit a wall. His scholarship and originality is only matched by his patience with students. What makes it remarkable is that he did all the helping while retired from his position at UH-Manoa, and away at a demanding position directing an academic/research program at the National University of Singapore. I am thankful for the countless number of hours he gave me over the years, the 3- hr long breakfasts on Sunday mornings, and the conversations we had. My gratitude is more than my command of English language can articulate. Dr. Karen Umemoto, our Chair graciously took personal interest in helping me graduate. Being an extraordinary scholar with a very busy schedule never prevented her from being approachable. On one occasion, she even arranged to pay me what was basically her own money after I was mistakenly not being paid for a work I did as a statistical analyst.
