Abstract
This report documents the proceedings of a WICOMP Forum on Security, Displacement and Livelihood of Coastal Communities in Southern India held in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu. The forum consisted of a discussion among civil society actors, state actors, academics and activists on the non-traditional aspects of security of the local fishing communities of the Indian coastal region. The deliberation revolved around delimitation of the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ), Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), and the impact of nuclear and thermal power plants on ecologically-sensitive areas.
