Description The south-west monsoon period is generally
an offseason for the fisherfolk who use non-
mechanised fishing crafts along the west coast of
India, on account of the extremely rough con
ditions of the sea. However, in some parts of
Kerala, areas adjoining the coast become oc
casionally very calm due to the formation of mud
banks while other coastal areas are highly surf
ridden. The calm areas formed near to the shore
are of varying extent, from aboutlOkm2 to 25km2
and provide safe harbourage to the non-mech
anised crafts when fishing in other regions is
almost impossible. Launching and landing of
vessels are easy at the mud bank areas-
