“…The working temperature of fishermen in this study ranged from 30.7 to 32.5°C with a humidity of 67.2 to 72.1%. Other study found that most fishermen (92.9%) felt disturbed by work climate in their work environment (Alayyannur and Arini, 2021). When compared with the table of recommendations for rest periods for workers who are at risk of heat stress by considering air humidity and full sun exposure, fishermen have a high risk of being exposed to heat stress and experiencing heatrelated illnesses (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 2017).…”

Introduction: Workers face pressure that comes from the work environment, one of which is heat pressure. Exposure to heat, workload, rehydration, and rest period are several factors that can cause heat stress to workers. People who are uncovered to heat are much more likely to experience heat stress. Related to this, current research was carried out aiming to analyze environmental factors that are at risk of heat stress exposure to fishermen in Indonesia. Methods: This study was conducted through a cross sectional design in the coastal regions in Surabaya. Accidental sampling technique was applied, obtaining 42 respondents. In this case, the variables included are humidity, temperature, access to clean water, risk of heat stress, and dehydration, while the data analysis techniques used are the logistic regression and pearson correlation. Results: The results showed that the significant environmental factor is access to clean water, with a value of 0.009 so that the p-value is less than 0.05. Furthermore, the relationship between heat stress and dehydration is 27.1%. Conclusion: Therefore, this study concludes that only access to clean water is significantly related to the risk of heat stress. In addition, the relationship between heat stress and the incidence of dehydration is weak.

“…The coastal area of the East Coast of Surabaya (Pamurbaya) is mostly mangrove ecosystem and has various uses, including: beach tourism, settlements, and mangrove conservation. In addition, the coastal area is affected by sea level rise [29,33,34] Coastal areas have relatively flat land elevations with relatively low altitudes relative to sea level, making coastal areas vulnerable to natural phenomena, one of which is sea level rise.…”

Kenjeran Beach is located in the coastal area of the East Coast of Surabaya (Pamurbaya) where most of the ecosystems are mangroves, so this area has the potential to be inundated with water (flood). This study aims to analyze tidal flooding as the impact of sea level rise and formulate appropriate adaptation & mitigation strategies so that tourism utilization can be carried out in a sustainable manner. The method used in this study was the tidal calculation which produces sea level rise predictions and the Geographic Information System method which produces a map of the vulnerability of the tidal flood area. The map results were analyzed to determine adaptation and mitigation strategies from the tidal flood. Based on the analysis of sea level rise, the area inundated due to tidal flooding was around 42 cm in the next 50 years. In an effort to adapt and mitigate sea level rise disasters, it was carried out with structural (physical or technical) mitigation and non-structural (non-technical) mitigation.

“…Unlike other professions in India, there haven't been much technological innovations to improve the fishermen's working conditions. They continue to fish using traditional techniques, which is hazardous in many ways [8]. The prevalence of injuries during work and musculoskeletal disorders are high among this group [9,10].…”

Background: Occupation plays a major role in the well-being of an individual and has an influence on oral health. Fishing is one such occupation that entails a lot of physical labour and encourages habits that lead to poor oral health. Therefore, it is critical to shed light on the oral health of this isolated population to improve their quality of life by various means. The aim of the study was to assess and compare the prevalence of dental caries, oral hygiene status and treatment needs of fisherman and non-fisherman population in South Goa, India. Materials and methods: Study design was cross-sectional in nature. After a pilot study, multi-stage random sampling technique was employed and 400 study participants were recruited. World Health Organization Oral Health Assessment Form (1997) and Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S) were used to record the study variables. Inter-examiner reliability assessed using Kappa statistics were found to be 90% and 88%, respectively. The data was analysed using descriptive analysis, Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and linear and logistic regression analysis. Results: Fishermen had significantly higher caries prevalence (82%) and poor oral hygiene (46%) than non--fishermen. Extraction (42.2%) and pulp care (23.6%) were the highest treatment need among fishermen. They were 2.08 times more prone to dental caries than non-fishermen. Fishermen who used a toothbrush were 4.5 times less susceptible to caries. The dependence of caries prevalence and OHI-S score on occupation, oral hygiene aid and age were 14% and 25.8%, respectively. Conclusions: Fishermen in South Goa had high caries prevalence, poor oral hygiene status and they required extensive dental treatment when compared to non-fishermen.
