Abstract

The Pre-Investment Survey of Fishing Harbours is being conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in cooperation with the Government of India. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, on this Project, is acting as the Executing and Participating Agency for the United Nations Development Programme.</p>The proposal for Ratnagiri, namely s,n a.11·-weather port with a, comprehensive range of modern facilities, Hill provide a base for a large, modern fleet at a point about midway between the two (expected) large harbours at Bombay and Goa/Karwar. If fishing in the Ratnagiri region develops substantially, particularly purse-seining, it may later be an economic proposition to increase the harbour facilities.
