SUMMARY:SKIN HEALTH CAMP
DESCRIPTION:For many fisher women\, skin health is not a cosmetic concern 
 — it is a daily occupational challenge. We work long hours under the har
 sh sun\, in salty winds\, and in constant contact with seawater and fish. 
 Exposure to ultraviolet radiation\, salt\, humidity\, and fish handling of
 ten leads to pigmentation\, fungal infections\, allergies\, cracked skin\,
  and chronic dermatitis. Yet\, our health is usually the last priority in 
 our busy lives of supporting families and sustaining livelihoods.\nThe soc
 iety’s initiative to organise a *Skin Health Camp* on 01.03.2026 in coll
 aboration with the Druva Flat Association was therefore not just a medical
  event — it was a gesture of recognition. More than 60 people\, includin
 g fisheries students\, availed the services. Soon\, the society will be or
 ganising such camps for fisher women\, to reassuring to consult doctors wh
 o understand the skins occupational exposure and provide practical advice 
 on preventive care\, hygiene\, sun protection\, and affordable treatment o
 ptions. Such camps help reduce long-term health complications and improve 
 confidence\, dignity\, and productivity.\nImportantly\, the presence of fi
 sheries students created a bridge between education and community realitie
 s. It allowed future fisheries professionals to understand the ground-leve
 l challenges faced by women in the sector — from fish handling to market
  vending — and appreciate that fisheries development is not only about p
 roduction but also about human well-being.\nThe announcement of a similar 
 camp and a walkathon at Bunder\, Mangalore\, brings renewed hope. A walkat
 hon in particular symbolizes awareness\, solidarity\, and collective respo
 nsibility towards health. For fisher women\, such initiatives mean that so
 ciety sees them\, values their contribution\, and stands with them — not
  only in matters of livelihood\, but also in matters of health and dignity
 .\nWhen we speak about sustainable fisheries\, we must also speak about su
 stainable lives. Health security of fisher women is not charity — it is 
 an investment in the strength of coastal communities. Our sincere thanks t
 o Dr Surya Bramara\, Dr Suchetha and Dr Erol for their humanitarian servic
