AIM :
The aim of the project is to design and create a fishing port with a recreational space
adjacent to it at international standards, keeping in mind the comfort and needs of the
employees and common people.
Infrastructural and auxiliary facilities that act as a catalyst for the recognition of our nation
as in par with other countries.
A port , with the most advanced facilities and features to satisfy all the need of
employees,customs and tourists.
To provide an extremely good surrounding with respect to the facilities provided by
the port like resting areas to all, parking for all users, etc.
To create the port as a landmark ,that will increase import and export of the city
and also attract more tourists which serves as the income for the port during the
fishes breeding season.
NEED :
‘The role of the fishing port may be considered as the interface between the netting
of fish and its consumption.
In many cases, the fishing harbour is also the focal point of pollution, both of the
surrounding environment and the fishery products it produces.
Many fishing harbours are also the source of major impacts on the physical and
biological coastal environment.
Although the bulk of fish landed in fishing harbours in developing countries is destined for
the local markets, it is every country’s wish to improve the health hazard-free quality
of its landed catch in order to increase exports of seafood products to more lucrative
over seas markets.
In the not-too-distant future, the growth in local consumer rights advocacy will also
increase demand for health hazard-free fish .
In today’s world of increased environmental awareness, a fishing port must be
planned, designed and managed in harmony with both the physical and biological
coastal environments.
Fisheries Departments worldwide generally have to manage and maintain harbours
and landing places using non-engineering civil servants.
SCOPE :
The unrelenting pressure on the world’s coastal resources and its coastal
ecosystems is threatening the viability of fisheries as an industry.
By its very nature, an ill-conceived port or fish landing structure has the potential to
place a disproportionately large demand on both the local physical and biological
resources.
In today’s world of increased environmental awareness, a fishing port or fish landing
site must be planned, designed and managed in harmony with these
environments.
Fishing ports and fish landing sites are complex dynamic interface zones involving the
mixing of environmental, ecological, economic and social activities and problems.
This heterogeneous mix of activities demands strong cross-sector interaction at the
planning stage to ensure that the resulting infrastructure may be managed in a
sustainable manner .
In recent years, world fisheries have become a market-driven sector of the food
industry and many coastal states have striven to take advantage of this new
opportunity by investing heavily, and sometimes haphazardly, in fishing port
infrastructure.
