Policy on “Notification of Private Fish Landing Centres in the State”

Introduction.— Goa situated at the west coast of India. The coastline is 104 km., full of creeks

and estuaries, as such a small stretch of coast of seven major rivers viz. Terekhol, Chapora,

Mandovi, Zuari, Sal, Talpona and Galgibag open into the sea and these provide excellent nurseries

for major fishes. This has significantly helped people of coastal areas in undertaking fishing

activities as source of livelihood. The coastal and inshore waters are known to be very rich in

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES I No. 26

24TH SEPTEMBER, 2020

1085

fishery resources especially because of huge

shoals of mackerel and sardines which

regularly migrate to the shore and yield

abundant catches. Mackerels and Sardines are

the dominating species in pelagic waters

while, demersal species are like prawn, squids

and cuttle fish predominate. The fishery sector

has boosted the State’s economy also

generating direct and indirect employment.

The Department has developed various fish

landing centre across the State for the benefit

of the mechanised fishing vessels, where

necessary infrastructure facilities such as

landing and berthing jetty along with other

facilities such as auction shed, net mending

shed, workshop etc. has been provided to the

fishermen. Further the Coastal Security Co-

ordination Committee had recommended that

the State Government to designate the existing

fish landing centre by notifying the same and

not to allow fish landing at any other landing

centre other than that of notified landing

jetties. Therefore the State Government has

notified six landing centre making all the

vessel mandatory to operate from this notified

centres and making it mandatory for the

fishing vessel to land on notified landing

centres.

However, due to expansion of fishing

industry over time with respect to the fishing

vessel size and catch landed there is limitation

in space in berthing, increase time for

unloading of fish and allied facilities at the

landing centres. Thus, in order to relieve

pressure from the existing notified jetties, it is

proposed to notify private fish landing centres/

areas abiding to the guidelines and statutory

2. Objectives.— (i) To notify the private fish

landing centres to relieve pressure from the

information about the missing crew/fishing

vessel who ventured into the sea. Further the

Department has set up full fledge 24x7 well

equipped Control Room wherein the

movement of mechanized fishing vessel can

the fish landing centre.
