The natural hazards, including the increasing problems of coastal erosion, high power tides, cyclones the climate change induced risks, especially, floods, tsunami, sea-wave formations, etc, seriously impact the livelihoods of the coastal communities in the State. Persistent sea surge and coastal erosion has resulted in the loss of life and property of the coastal fisher population who are one of the most downtrodden communities of the State. One of the most apparent losses of property is the damages that come about to the dwelling spaces of the fisher population. Every year hundreds of houses are damaged due to the furry of the sea forcing these poor families to shift to temporary shelters, many of whom have been stuck there for several years disrupting their normal livelihood and affecting their socio-economic and cultural status. Considering this grave situation, government of Kerala had decided to rehabilitate the fishermen families residing within 50m from the high tide line to safer dwelling places in the coastal areas. The Government has launched major rehabilitation schemes and established multiple flat complexes and has also rehabilitated fishermen families in Thiruvananthapuram district. Extensive survey was conducted along the coastal districts to collect the data on the basic characteristic of the fishermen household residing within 50m of the HTL as a part of effective implementation of this flag strip rehabilitation scheme of the Government, in all the coastal districts of the State.
