THESIS ON A FISHING AND LEISURE PORT

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.
