The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has handed over two specially designed climate-resilient fishing boats and 30 modified fish display stalls to the Ministry of Fisheries.
The SL20 and SL23 fishing boats, measuring 6.3 and 7 meters in length, were designed for coastal fishing operations in Sri Lanka.
These boats prioritize the safety of fishers and are built to be capsize-resistant and withstand the challenges posed by climate change, including more frequent and intense storms and cyclones.
