For many years, fishermen in Sri Lanka have used a traditional style of catching fish along the coast. Called stilt fishing, fishermen sit for hours on stilts embedded in the coral reefs near the shore. This unusual method does not greatly disturb the fish. By fishing from stilts, more people are able to catch the fish that would normally be frightened away by net fishing from the shore. The life of the stilt fishermen is difficult, with prices for fish often being less than 5 cents. Though the fishing custom was devastated after the 2004 tsunami, the tradition continues today.

The benefits and impacts of mineral resource extraction and processing in Australia are changing. As Australia’s largest export industry, mineral resource extraction brings financial benefits to the nation and whilst our vast endowment of minerals will not be exhausted soon, extraction and production are becoming more challenging. Declining ore grades are indicative of a shift from "easier and cheaper" to more "complex and expensive" processing – in social and environmental terms as well as economic. Declining resource quality has also led to declining productivity and the energy intensity of processing has subsequently risen by 50% over the last decade.
