To assess those impacts, all the coastal fishing sites have been identified through secondary sources of
information (statistics, Tamil Nadu fishing sector reports), field surveys and aerial photography.
Fishing sites have been categorised as:
The estimated impact is based on the following characteristics:
I. Direct and indirect impact on coastal fishing sites within a 2 km buffer area, and
II. a previous valuation of each fishing site based on its configuration and facilities for fishing activities.
The number of catamarans, boats and mechanized boats for each site affected has been estimated by aerial
photography. The indicator is expressed as:
• Impact on fishery
Impact value= Type of fish landing site affected x (No of catamarans and No of mechanized boats
affected+ 10 x No of mechanized boats affected) x nature of impact
Nature of impact Assigned value
Direct impact 5
Indirect impact 1
