This 2-year initiative to conserve the eco-system on Mahinsa Island in the Chilika lagoon in Odisha benefited over 1800 fisherwomen, men & other islanders to develop lagoon-linked livelihoods such as crabs, prawns & fish for local & export consumption as well as ground nuts & compost for mainland markets. Islanders planted coconut, mango & banana trees to help stabilise the island’s eco-system while strengthening its resistance to cyclones. The fruit from the tree supplements nutrition & generates income. Mahinsa village & its school now also benefit from clean water & sanitation facilities.
