P R E F A C E

The Central Institute of Coastal Engineering for Fishery (CICEF),

Bangalore, a subordinate office of the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India is mandated with the responsibility of undertaking techno-economic feasibility studies and preparation of project reports for the development of fishery harbours in the country. The Annual Report contains information on Administration, Finance and Technical activities of the Institute.

This Annual Report highlights the important activities and achievements

Central Institute of Coastal Engineering for Fishery 1

1.0 CICEF – An Overview 1.1 Introduction

The Institute was established in January 1968 as Pre-investment Survey of Fishing Harbours (PISFH) by the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India in collaboration with Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO/UN). The primary objective of establishing the Institute was to carry out engineering and economic investigations and prepare techno-economic feasibility reports for the development of fishery harbours at suitable sites along the Indian coast to provide fishery harbour facilities to Mechanized Fishing Vessels (MFVs). After the cessation of the FAO/UN assistance, the Institute received technical assistance in the form of equipment and expert consultancy services from Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) for a period of 2 years from January 1974. In August 1983, it was renamed as Central Institute of Coastal Engineering for Fishery (CICEF). Technical expertise was further developed in the subsequent years and from August 1983, the Institute is also catering to the requirements of Aquaculture Engineering for development of Coastal Aquaculture Farms along the Indian coast. The Institute received UNDP/FAO assistance in the form of equipment and consultants from 1986 to 1991 for the development of coastal aquaculture farms.

1.2 Organisation

The Institute is headed by the Director and the total sanctioned strength of officers and staff is 47 comprising technical and administrative personnel. The break-up of the posts is as follows:

Group Non-Plan

- 01 02 15 18

An inter-disciplinary team comprising Engineers and Economists who have

specialised knowledge and vast experience on field, in conducting necessary pre-investment studies to identify sites for development of Fishery Harbours, Fish Landing Centres and Brackish water Shrimp Farms, preparation of techno-economic feasibility reports, detailed construction plans for the projects and other supporting facilities are on roll of this Institute. The Organisation Chart of the Institute is as shown below.



1.3 Mandate The Objectives of the Institute in respect of development of fishery harbours/fish landing centres, coastal aquaculture farms and hatcheries are as below:

1.3.1 Fishery Harbours

To carry out reconnaissance surveys/pre-feasibility studies to identify priority sites for development of fishery harbours, follow it up by detailed engineering and economic investigations and prepare techno-economic feasibility reports.

To prepare preliminary construction plans and supporting facilities etc., for fishery harbours.

To give technical advice on engineering and economic aspects wherever required for the development of fishery harbours and fish landing centres.

To monitor the progress of construction of ongoing fishery harbours and fish landing centres sanctioned under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme in association with the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare.

1.3.2 Coastal Aquaculture Farms and Hatcheries

To conduct economic and engineering investigations, prepare suitable designs for farms and prepare techno-economic feasibility reports.
