Mushar community is the traditional fishing community living along the bank of Narayani River in Nawalparasi district of Nepal. They are landless and their livelihood solely depends on fishery activities. In recet years, due to sharp decline in fishery resources and current Government policy of restriction in fishing in the Narayani river near the National Park area, their livelihood is on threat. Two Community Forest User Group were formed involving 50 households and fish ponds were constructed in wetland of Community Forest in the Buffer Zone area with the assistance of Jatayu Restaurant (Vulture Conservation Project). The annual fish production, consumption and sale per household were 160.0, 30.8 and 125.1 kg, respectively with sold value of NRs. 33278.0 in 2017. Additional income were generated by producing vegetables in the pond dikes. The aquaculture activity helped to improve family nutrition and supplement income of the community as well as decreasing fishing pressure in the Narayani River. Development of Community Fish Production Groupss exclusively owned and managed by the women themselves helped in women's empowerment through their improved access to and control over resources and increased roles in decision-making at both household and community levels.
