Fishery sector has been playing a very important role in improving the socio-economic
status of a fishermen. The expansion of the marine fishing fleet and the development
of appropriate fisheries infrastructure for the operation of such craft would play a vital
role in achieving the future targets for fish production. The attention in these study is
mainly focused on related coastal engineering aspects in order to minimize the adverse
impacts on the harbor as well as the neighboring coastline to ensure the sustainability
and effectiveness of any proposed development. In order to do this, a description of
physical environment data as well as boundary conditions regarding waves, tides,
currents and water depth is analyses. Attempts will made to assess, qualitatively, the
exposure of the sites to the nearshore wave climate and the resulting coastal
processes related to sediment transport in the vicinity. The forms of coastal
constructions required is identify and the severity of potential effects due to such
developments is consider to assess the suitability of UMT breakwater for potential
fishery harbor development.
