Kerala is blessed with a long coast line of 590 km. having  vast marine potential.  As against the estimated maximum sustainable yield of about 8 lakhs tonnes along the Kerala Coast, the present level of fish production is about 5 to 6  lakhs tonnes per annum and still about 2 lakhs tonnes remain unexploited, which could be  exploited by providing safe landing and berthing facilities for vessels wherever possible as Fishing Harbours/Fish Landing Centres and similar infra structures.
