COCKLE fishermen in Pulai Sebatang, Pontian, have banded together to turn their village into an eco-tourism destination to generate extra income.

Ismail Mohd Hassan said the idea came after the group made a working visit to Batam, Indonesia last year to see how traditional fishermen generate side income during the monsoon season.
