Eighty fish landing centres to be developed

The Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Ministry has officially launched a project spending over Canadian $ 4.9 million to develop 80 fish landing centres located in 15 coastal districts including the Northern and Eastern Provinces.

The project is being executed by the Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Ministry and implemented jointly by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) in association with the Ceylon Fishery Harbour Corporation (CFHC).

Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Minister Felix Perera said at the launching ceremony of the CIDA-FAO funded project on ‘Restoration and Improvement of Fishing Lading Centres with Stakeholder Participation’, held recently at the CFHC that the project is also committing to build capacity of the CFHC, Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Department (FARD) and to promote livelihoods among the small scale fishing community particularly for the benefit of fishermen.

He said this is the most opportune time for us to extend the rehabilitation of fish landing centres covering all 15 coastal districts as we have liberated the whole country from terrorism.

There is considerable progress made towards development of the fisheries sector in our country, through the Thotupala Aruna National Development drive as part of the Mahinda Chintana program.

The fisheries sector had been strengthened by foreign donors towards rehabilitation and restoration of harbours and anchorages, the Minister said.
