Allow me to introduce myself as the editor of SAMUDRA Report, the
triannual journal of the International Collective in Support of
Fishworkers (ICSF), an international NGO working on issues of relevance
to small-scale and artisanal fisheries and fishworkers, with a special
focus on livelihoods concerns.

We at ICSF have recently launched SAMUDRA News Alerts, a free service
designed to deliver news on fisheries and related issues, on a daily or
weekly digest basis, in plain-text or HTML format. The service is now
in a beta (test) phase and we hope, in time, to develop it into a
full-fledged news service, with exclusive, original stories on
small-scale and artisanal fisheries, particularly in the regions of the
South, and also on issues that deal with women in fisheries and safety
at sea. Apart from news and stories on fisheries, the service also
focuses on environmental and oceans issues.

Please visit http://www.icsf.net to subscribe. The ICSF
website has archives of all past news items as well as all issues of
SAMUDRA Report and several other documents and resources that might
interest you. We would also be happy to get feedback and suggestions on
the news service and the website. You can either email me at <<kg at
flashmail dot com>> or <<kgkumar at gmail dot com>> or ICSF at <<icsf
dot net>>.

Thank you.
