The Andhra Pradesh government will develop eight fishing harbours and a jetty in the state to ensure fishermen do not migrate to other states for livelihood.
The proposed project is estimated to entail an investment of around Rs 3,000 crore.
The move to develop projects comes in the backdrop of hundreds of fishermen getting stuck in other states.
The development work for the fishing harbours and jetty is expected to be completed within three years.
The jetty will be constructed at Manchineellapeta in Srikakulam district. The harbours will come up in Badagatlapalem in Srikakulam, Pudimadaka in Visakhapatnam, Uppada in East Godavari, Narsapuram in West Godavari, Machilipatnam in Krishna, Nizampatnam in Guntur, Kothapatnam in Prakasam and Juvvaladinne in Nellore.
