There are too many problems faced by the fishermen society which have to be analysed. This paper discusses the havoc footprints of Cyclone Ockhi that leftover the fishermen society. Through the various sources of the observations root cause for the losses are discussed and suggestions were recommended to avoid further losses in future.
