| Thanks to the installation of cutting-edge technology equipment for real time weather forecasting off Puducherry coast and in the land, fishermen belonging to 20 hamlets along the shore here can venture into sea with the knowledge of maritime weather condition, including the height of waves and the precise location of a good catch.
The Ministry of Earth Sciences deployed a wave rider buoy about three km off Chinna Veerampattinam coast on May 27 to gather vital information on the height of waves, the condition of surface wind, the pressure of waves and the presence of fish within 10-km radius of the location of the buoy.
The information would be received at the Pondicherry Multipurpose Social Service Society (PMSS) data centre here, an NGO based here. The PMSS would pass on the information through the public address system, which the agency had already put in place in the 20 villages. Soon, a digital display board would be set up in the villages; , said T.M Balakrishnan Nair, Head of Ocean Sciences and Information Services at Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services, Hyderabad.
