Problems in Use of Information and Communication Technology Tools among Fishermen

Information and communication technologies have increased the knowledge and information among different peoples and similarly have enhanced the capacity building of communities in developing countries. Most of the developing countries are trying to provide good facilities to their people and spread the network of communication technologies in remote areas that poor people can get good benefit from these technologies for their development. However, it was showed that in developing countries there are still lack of services and infrastructure in remote areas which are facing big challenges for government to provide communication technologies facilities in rural areas. In the perspective of fishermen many developing countries did not provide good facilities of such technologies in their working places and due to that fishermen are facing many difficulties to get information about weather, market, communicate with family and friend when they are at sea. Information and communication technologies can reduce the time, money, energy as well as risk of fishermen when they go at sea. Fishermen are getting more problems in use of mobile phones, television, radio, GPS, sonar, radar and wireless in their areas because there is no electricity available in their areas and facility of mobile phones in their working places. Governments of developing countries and other sectors should take the initiatives for the development of this community which can enhance the economy of the country.
