Project for Improvement of Victoria Artisanal Fishing Port

OUTLINE OF THE PROJECT

In Seychelles, which has a vast exclusive economic zone and abundant fishery resources, about 90% of the catch from small-scale fisheries was consumed domestically, making it an important source of protein for the population. However, the area of Victoria Fishing Port used by small-scale fishing boats had a complex quay layout, cramped working space, and shallow water, and it was severely congested, especially on weekends, making landing inefficient. This project constructed a straight steel sheet pile quay, a shed, and fish processing tables so that boats could berth regardless of the tide, aiming to reduce congestion, improve landing efficiency, and prevent deterioration of the catch caused by rain and direct sunlight.
