7 Rapid need assessment &Pre-feasibility study report CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND INDIA Fishing in India is a major industry in its coastal states, employing over 14 million people. Fish production in India has increased more than tenfold since its independence in According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, fish output in India doubled between 1990 and India has 8,118 kilometers of marine coastline, 3,827 fishing villages, and 1,914 traditional fish landing centers. India is a major supplier of fish in the world. In 2006 the country exported over 600,000 metric tonnes of fish, to some 90 countries, earning over $1.8 billion. Shrimps are one of the major varieties exported. The giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) is the dominant species chosen for aquaculture, followed by the Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeusindicus). Shrimp production from coastal aquaculture during 2004 stood at approximately 120,000 tonnes. Farmed shrimp accounted for about 60% of shrimp exported from the country. Marine and freshwater catch fishing combined with aquaculture fish farming is a rapidly growing industry in India. In 2008 India was the sixth largest producer of marine and freshwater capture fisheries, and the second largest aquaculture farmed fish producer in the world. Fish as food, both from fish farms and catch fisheries, offers India one of the easiest and fastest way to address malnutrition and food security. Despite rapid growth in total fish production, a fish farmers average annual production in India is only 2 tonnes per person, compared to 172 tonnes in Norway, 72 tonnes in Chile, and 6 tonnes per fisherman in China. Higher productivity, knowledge transfer for sustainable fishing, continued growth in fish production with increase in fish exports have the potential for increasing the living standards of Indian fishermen. 6

8 Rapid need assessment &Pre-feasibility study report As of 2010, fish harvest distribution was difficult within India because of poor rural road infrastructure, lack of cold storage and absence of organized retail in most parts of the country. The growth rose from only 800,000 tons in FY 1950 to 4.1 million tons in the early 1990s. From 1990 through 2010, Indian fish industry growth has accelerated, reaching a total marine and freshwater fish production to about 8 million metric tons. Special efforts have been made to promote extensive and intensive inland fish farming, modernize coastal fisheries, and encourage deep-sea fishing through joint ventures. These efforts led to a more than fourfold increase in coastal fish production from 520,000 tons in FY 1950 to 3.35 million tons in FY The increase in inland fish production was even more dramatic, increasing almost eightfold from 218,000 tons in FY 1950 to 6.10 million tons in FY In the present Indian scenario, Fisheries is the State subject and the greater responsibility for fishery development lies with the State governments. As such, the coastal State Governments have the prime duty to promote fishery harbour development in their respective States. The coastal State Governments are playing a major role in the overall development of fisheries including initiating action on identifying fishery harbour sites, building and maintaining fishery harbours. The Central Government's role has been that of catalytic agent to boost up the fishery industry of the country by supplementing and complementing the efforts of the State Governments by finance through the Centrally Sponsored Scheme ANDHRA PRADESH Andhra Pradesh lies between 12 41' and N latitude and 77 and 84 40'E longitude, and is bordered by Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and Orissa in the north, the Bay of Bengal in the East, Tamil Nadu to the south and Karnataka to the west Andhra Pradesh is strategically located on the South-Eastern coast of India and is the natural gateway to East and South East Asia. The state has a population of around 4.95 crore. Andhra Pradesh has fertile river basins, extensive canal system and 7

The state has 974 Km of coastline and is one of the largest producers of marine products. The state s coastline is also dotted with numerous major and minor ports and has a long sea faring tradition. Andhra Pradesh (A.P) stands first in total fish and prawn/shrimp production in India since both in terms of production and value. The contribution of fisheries sector is 6.01 % in A. P s. GSDP, whereas the fisheries contribution is about 0.83% of GDP of the nation. The overall fish production has more than doubled in the past one decade from 8.14 lakh tons in to lakh tones in The share of Andhra Pradesh in India s sea food exports has increased from about 20% in to about 40% in During the exports from Andhra Pradesh was Rs. 2,100 crores but by exports have increased to Rs. 12,100 crores. During , the marine exports have been increased to an estimated value of Rs. 16,000 Crores. Nine out of thirteen districts of Andhra Pradesh are along the coastline and the total length of the coast is around 974 Km. The total continental shelf is more than 33,227 Sq.km. The total marine fishermen population in the state is around 6.05 lakh and sea going fishermen are around 1.5 lakh. The total fishing crafts in the state are around 29,195 with around 12,747 motorized crafts, 1771 Mechanized and traditional crafts. There are 4 fishing harbours, 353 fish landing centers and 555 fishing villages. The State had one major port at Visakhapatnam, two intermediate Ports, at Kakinada and Machilipatnam and ten Minor Ports at Bhavanapadu, Kalingapatnam, Bheemunipatnam, Gangavaram, Muthyalammapalem, Rawa, Narsapur, Nazampatnam, Vadarevu and Krishnapatnam with good potential. A.P. though ranked third behind Gujarat and Maharashtra, handles only 9 per cent of the total Minor Port traffic. Kakinada is by far the largest minor port handling 2.77 million MT of traffic in Existing fishing infrastructure: The state has 4 fishing harbours Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Nizampatnam 8

16 CHAPTER 2 BUDAGATLAPALEM FISHERY HARBOUR 2.1 General Proposed Budagatlapalem fishery harbour site has been visited during the first last week of August 2017, during economic investigations detailed information have been collected regarding fishing vessel type, size, operational schedule, landings etc. and they were analysed after scrutiny. The proposed Budagatlapalem fishery harbour site is located at Etcherla Mandal in Srikakulam district. 2.2 Division Srikakulam district is one of the 13 districts in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the 9 coastal districts, located in the extreme north eastern direction of the state. The headquarters of the district is located at Srikakulam. The district is skirted to a distance by Kandivalasagedda, Vamsadhara and Bahuda at certain stretches of their courses while a line of heights of the great Eastern Ghats run from the northeast. Vizianagaram district flanks in the south and west while Odisha bounds it on the north and Bay of Bengal on the East. This is the only district in Andhra Pradesh having two rivers namely Nagavali and vamsadhara. Srikakulam District was carved out in 1950 by bifurcating it from Visakhapatnam District, it remained unaffected in its territorial jurisdiction for quite some time. But in November 1969 the district lost 63 Villages from Saluru Taluk and 44 Villages from Bobbili Taluk on account of their transfer to the then newly constituted Gajapathinagaram Taluk of Visakhapatnam District. Again in May 1979, the district had undergone major territorial changes on account of the formation of new District with headquarters at Vizianagaram which involved transfer of Salur, Bobbili, Parvathipuram and Cheepurupalli Taluks to the new District.Srikakulam's culture is a blend of traditional festivals, food, music and theatres. Major Rivers flowing through the district are River Nagavali, River Vamsadhara, Mahendratanaya, Champavati, Bahuda, Kumbhikota Gedda, Suvarnamukhi, Vegavati, Gomukhi. The Nagavali and Vamsadhara are the major rivers in Srikakulam district. These two river basins together constitute about 5% of the area. The Mahendratanaya 15

17 and Bahuda rivers are two minor river basins in the district. Others are Benjigedda, Peddagedda, Kandivalasa gedda. Major irrigation projects on these rivers Vamsadhara Project, Narayanapuram Anicut, Thotapalli Regulator and some medium projects at Pydigam Project, Onigadda are providing a total ayacut of 69,373 acres ( km2). According to the 2011 census Srikakulam district has a population of 2,699,471,[8] roughly equal to the nation of Kuwait[9] or the US state of Nevada. This gives it a ranking of 147th in India (out of a total of 640).[8] The district has a population density of 462 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,200/sq mi).[8] Its population growth rate over the decade was 6.38%.[8] Srikakulam has a sex ratioof 1014 females for every 1000 males,[8] and a literacy rate of 62.3%. The district has three revenue divisions namely, Srikakulam, Palakonda and Tekkali. These revenue divisions are divided into 38 mandals in the district. The district has 12 towns and 1,802 villages. There are 1 municipal corporation, 3 municipalities, 1 nagar panchayatand 7 census towns. The municipal corporation in the district is Srikakulam and 3 municipalities in the district are Amadalavalasa, Ichchapuram, Palasa- Kasibugga, and nagar panchayats of Palakonda, Rajam. The 6 census towns are Balaga, Hiramandalam, Narasannapeta, Ponduru, Sompeta, Tekkali. There are 38 mandals and 3 Revenu Divisions in Srikakulam districtr and they are listed below:prakasam district Sl.

19 Figure 3: Srikakulkam District Map During detailed economic investigations, primary and secondary data from the fishing boat owners/operators, fishermen co-operative societies, fish and prawn merchants, operators of ice plants etc. have been collected at the project area. In addition to the above, conduct of socio economic study to know the socio economic conditions of the fisher folk of the proposed project area. Collected the number of mechanised, motorised and non-mechanised fishing vessels operating at the project site and their size, method of fishing, operational schedule, fish and prawn landings per trip and per season, disposal of the catch, fishing vessel investment, annual operating costs, cost of fuel & ice, cost of processing, distribution and marketing of fish and prawn products, investment required for construction of ice plant and chilled fish storage, infrastructure facilities available etc. 18

20 The detailed economic investigation at the project site provided information an actual fleet size operating at the proposed project area and also fishing boats belonging to nearby area which can make use of the proposed project facilities. Fishing Boat details available from various sources have also been verified to arrive actual information on fleet size and their vessel economics at the proposed project area. Based on the field study, statistics furnished by Department of Fisheries and further discussion, design fleet size for the proposed Vodarevu fishery harbour has been arrived and also based on future projection based on the growth of the fishing boats with 10 years forecast and also socio economic conditions of the fisher folk and the capability of active fishermen at the project area. 2.3 Need to Develop Fishery Harbour at Budagtlapalem in Srikakulam District There is a need develop fishery harbour due to the non-availability of full-fledged fishery harbour infrastructure facilities at the site. Budagatlapalem site fishermen are facing difficult without landing and berthing facilities at the site. Mechanised fishing boats of the area in and around the fishery centre operating elsewhere in the State due to non-availability of berthing and landing facilities. Motorised and traditionla boats are operating at the site. Once the fishery harbour is developed at the site 18 metre mechanised fishing vessels can operate from the site and they can go for 15 trips in a fishing season consisting 12 days per trip. 18 metre can land about 60 tonnes per year at the rate of about 4 tonne per trip comprising 0.6 tonne prawns and 3.4 tonnne fish. 9 metre motorised boat goes for 2 days per trip and 90 trips in a fishing season and lands 222 kg per trip and 20 tonne in a fishing season spread over nine months. Development of a fishery harbour is sure to generate more employment opportunities for the local unemployed people and the fishermen community. Large number of workers in the FH are from the fisher community comprising of boat crew, head-load and ice workers, women fish vendors, fish merchants etc. 2.4 Location Budagatlapalemfishery centre is situated in Etcherla Mandal of Srikakulam district corresponds to latitude 18 o N, longitude 83 o E. It is located at a 19

21 distance of 9 km from Srikakulam the headquarters. The fishery centre is on the open coast adjacent to Budagatlapalem village. All the basic infrastructure facilities like road, telephone, electricity and drinking water is available at the project area. Higher education, hospital, banking facilities, etc., are available at Etcherla which is 28 km from the site.the nearest railhead for Budagatlapalem is Vishakapatnamand it is at a distance of 93 kms. Location of Budagatlapalem fishery centre is shown in satellite imagery at Photo 5. Photo 5: Satellite Imagery of Budagatlapalem fishery centre 2.5 Technical Evaluation of Site Budagatlapalem fishery centre was visited on 26 th August 2017to conduct prefeasibility study of the site for development of fishery harbour. The team, during the inspection of the site, interacted with the concerned officers of Fisheries Department, and local fishermen regarding the level of fishery activity and providing infrastructure facilities requirements. As of now there are no facilities available at the fishery 20

22 centre(see photo 3&4). As the site is in the open coast a basin is to be created by providing breakwaters to avail tranquillity conditions for safe landing, berthing and other operation of vessels. Since there are no landing facilities the MFVs are going to Vishakhapatnam fishery harbour which is about 75 km south of the site. Considering the fishery activities at the site (see photo 5), this site may be developed as a fullfledged fishery harbour Photo 6: Fishery Activities at the Site 2.6 Fishery Resources: According to the local fishers, there are 42 mechanized large boats, 70 IBM and 330 OBM at present. Some estimate the total number of boats at 500. The OBM use monofilament entangling nets for capture. The majority of fish caught in this net are small clupeids, small carangids, small sciaenids, soles, catfishes, Engraulids and other anchovies, lesser sardines, Ilisha, Thrissocles, mullets, Andontostoma, Cynoglossusspp all varieties of bottom biota including crabs, molluscs and gorgonids. 21

23 According to the fishermen, the daily catch from a boat is 30 to 40 kg which can go up to 100 kg. A gill netter boat costs about Rs. 2 lakhs. Kanakurtavala which is apelagic net used for mackerels and sardines cost about 3 lakhs. IBM boat and engine cost about Rs. 5 lakhs plus a gill net Rs 3 lakhs. The normal fish landing hours are from 6:30 am to 9:00am.It extends up to noon sometimes due tolate arrivals, Ice is brought fromoutside. The catches are iced and taken to Chennai / Calcutta by traders. Since there isno auction hall, sale happens on the open beach. From July to August, extending to September and October, shrimps are landed where tiger shrimp of 30 counts fetch Rs 450 per kg. Each Mechanized fishing boat brings in 10 to 100 kg of such high value shrimps during the season. Some boats sail out in the evening and return by morning while others sail out by 8 am and return in the afternoons. Average catch per boat varies from 30 to 100 kg. Diesel price at present is Rs. 53 per litre. Normal fishing hours are 3 to 5 hours which can extend to 3 to 4 days also if fish is not available is short operation. Normally 50 to 60 litres are carried. High quality fishes such as Seer fish are caught seasonally, fetching Rs.500 to 550 per kg. Traders buy these through open auction for markets in Kerala and Chennai. In order to decide the design fleet size for the project, the economic investigation team visited the site and held discussions with the officers of the Fisheries Department of Andhra Pradesh and stakeholders regarding the number of fishing vessels operating from Srikakulam District and the total number of fishing vessels for which the fishery harbour has to be designed. Further, the Fisheries Department has provided the fishing vessels statistics during the economic investigations. Accordingly, it is suggested after stakeholders meeting that the fishing harbour could be designed for a total fishing fleet of 880 vessels comprising 700 numbers of 9 metre motorised and 180 numbers of 18 metre mechanised fishing vessels. which was also concurred by the Commissioner of Fisheries, Govt. of AP. At present, FRP boats are the main type of fishing vessel operating at this fishery centre. The proposed fishery harbour is required to serve the following fleet: 9 m long FRP boats numbers 18 m long trawler numbers 22

24 2.7 Proposed facilities In tune with the demands of the local fishermen, the team proposes the following need based shore based facilities at the site. 1. Breakwaters 2. Reclamation and levelling 3. Quay for landing of fishing vessels (MFVs) 4. Quay for berthing and outfitting of fishing vessels (MFVs) 5. Beach Landing area and parking area for traditional crafts 6.
