CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND 1.1.1 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 1947. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, fish output in India doubled between 1990 and 2010. 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 2

increase in fish exports have the potential for increasing the living standards of Indian fishermen. 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 2013. 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 2013. 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. 1.1.2 ANDHRA PRADESH Andhra Pradesh lies between 12 41' and 19.07 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 3

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 conducive agro climatic conditions for fishery promotion. 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 2013-14 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 2005-06 to 19.64 lakh tones in 2014-15. The share of Andhra Pradesh in India s sea food exports has increased from about 20% in 2009-10 to about 40% in 2013-14. During 2009-10 the exports from Andhra Pradesh was Rs. 2,100 crores but by 2013-14 exports have increased to Rs. 12,100 crores. During 2014-15, 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 14677 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 1999-2000. 4

1.2 Existing fishing infrastructure: The state has 4 fishing harbours Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Nizampatnam andkrishnapatnam. 1 major port at Visakhapatnam and 14 non major ports offering vastopportunity for exporting fish products. There is scope for establishment of new fishing harbours/ fish landing centers andother post-harvest and market infrastructure to give value addition to the produce. Several modern retail and wholesale fish markets have been developed by the NationalFisheries Development Board and State Fisheries department. Availability of 56 Processing Plants with a capacity of 2272 MT/ day, 148 ice plants,45 Freezing Plants with a capacity of 1 million tones/ year and 28 Cold Storage Plantswith a capacity of 25000 MT and operating with EU/ ISO 9000 / HACCP standards.

The main objective of the Pre-feasibility study is to assess the potential of each of fishery centres/fish landing sites with the ability of the existing fish landing facilities and related fishery infrastructure, their immediate requirement of need based facilities and to further explore the possibility of supporting them as fishery growth centres to meet the future demand. 10

CHAPTER 2 KOTHAPATNAM FISHERY HARBOUR 2.1 General Proposed Kothapatnam Pallepalem fishery harbour site has been visited during the 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 Kothapatnam Pallepalem fishery harbour site is located at Kothapatnam Mandal in Prakasam district. 2.2 Division Prakasam district is in the Coastal Andhra region of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. The headquarters of the district are located at Ongole. It is located on the west coast of Bay of Bengal and is bounded by Guntur district on the north, Kurnool district on the west, Kadapa and Nellore districts on the south. A part of north west region also borders the Mahabubnagar district of Telangana. It is the 3rd largest district in the state with an area of 17,626 km2 and had a population of 33.97 lakhs as per 2011 census of India. The district was named after the patriot and first Chief Minister of Andhra State Tanguturi Prakasam, also known as Andhra Kesari (Lion of Andhra), who was born in the village of Vinodarayunipalem. It was accordingly renamed as Prakasam District in the year 1972 As of 2011 census of India, the district had a population of 3,397,448 with a density of 193 persons per sq.km. The total population constitute, 17,14,764 males and 16,82,684 females a ratio of 981 females per 1000 males. The total urban population is 664,582 (19.56%). There are 19,04,435 literates with a literacy rate of 63.08%. The district is divided into 3 revenue divisions, namely, Kandukur, Markapur and Ongole. These are sub-divided into 56 mandals which consists of 1081 villages and 13 towns. These 13 towns (or urban settlements) in the district include, 1 municipal corporation, 3 municipalities and 4 nagar panchayats. Ongole is the only municipal corporation, Chirala, Kandukur, Markapur are the 3 municipalities and Addanki, Kanigiri, Chimakurthi, Giddalur are the nagar panchayats. Total population of Kothapatnam mandal is 47,573 consists of 24234 male and 23,339 female residing in 11,251 houses according to 2011 Indian Cenusu and it is 18 km 11

from Ongole the district and Kothapatnam Pallipalem fishery centree is 2 km from the Mandal headquarters. Kothapatam comes under Ongolr Lok Sabha Constituency. Kothapatnam Mandal is bounded by by Ongole Mandal towards west, Tangutur Mandal towards west, Naguluppalapadu Mandal towards North, Singarayakonda Mandal towards South. Ongole, Kandukur, Chirala, Bapatla are the nearby Cities to Kothapatmam. Kothapatnam consist of 43 Villages and 14 Panchayats. Payakari Khandrika is the smallest Village and Alluru Kothapatnam is the biggest Village. Figure 1: PrakasamDistrict Map During detailed economic investigations, primary and secondary dataa 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 economicc 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, 12

investment required for construction of ice plant and chilled fish storage, infrastructure facilities available etc. 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 50 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 Kothapatnam Pallipalem in Prakasam District There is a need develop fishery harbour due to the non-availability of full-fledged fishery harbour infrastructure facilities at the site. Kothapatnam Pallipalem site is situated on the open coast and 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 traditional boats are operating at the site. Once the fishery harbour is developed at Kothapatnam Pallipalem 18 metre and 24 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 tonne 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. 24 metre Tuna Long Liner can also go for 15 trips of 12 days duration and land about 6000 kg per trip and 90 tonnes in a season. Development of a fishery harbour is sure to generate more employment opportunities for the local unemployed people and the fishermen community. A large number of workers in the fishery harbour are from the fisher community comprising of boat crew, head-load and ice workers, women fish vendors, fish merchants etc. 13

2.4 Location Kothapatnam fishery centre corresponds to latitude 15 o 26 21 N, longitude 80 o 10 50 E and is located in Kothapatnam mandal in Ongale revenue division of Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh.

Location of Kothapatnam fishery centre is shown in satellite imagery at Photo 1. Photo 1: Satellite Imagery of Kothapatnam fishery centre 2.5 Technical Evaluation of Site 1. Kothapatnam fishery centre was visited on 23 rd August 2017 to conduct prefeasibility study of the site for development of fish landing centre. During the visit to the Kothapatnam fishery centre, the Fisheries Department assured that the required land will be made available for the development of fishery harbour. The team, during the inspection of the site, interacted with the concerned officers of Fisheries Department and local Fishermen Societies for locating infrastructure facilities. As of now, there are no infrastructure facilities 14

available at the fishery centre and landings and berthing of fishing vessels are carried out on open beach (see photo 2). 2.6 Fishery Resources: 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 Prakasam 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 920 vessels comprising 700 numbers of 9 metre motorissed, 200 numbers of 18 metre mechanised fishing vessels and 20 numbers of 24 metre TLL which was also concurred by the Commisioner of Fisheries, Govt. of AP. The details of the fleet using the harbour such as number of boats, their overall length, annual average landing, duration of each fishing trip etc. are given in Table. The proposed fisheryharbouris required to serve the following fleet. 9 m long FRP boats - 700 numbers 18m trawlers - 200 numbers 24 m tuna long line - 20 numbers 15
