Karaiyin Suvadigal (Transl: Traces of the shore), is an original radio programme series produced by Kadal Osai FM 90.4 CR.

Dive deep with us as we go back to the roots of the sea-faring community of Pamban Island. This series is a loving bridge, reconnecting the fisherfolk with the ancient rhythm and profound power of the ocean. Each episode is a holistic journey—a sonic exploration of life on the shore.

"Karai Valai" literally translates to "shore net" and is used to denote a traditional fishing method where a large net is cast into the sea from the shore and then pulled back to land cooperatively by a large group of around 30-40 people. In this episode of Karaiyin Suvadigal, RJ Alex visits the areas around Dhanushkodi, where the Karai Valai fishing is prevalent. Listen to this episode to know how the Karai Valai fisherfolk are adapting to competition from modern fishing methods and the challenges faced by them.
