A case study on the impact of fishing harbour in ground water quality

The study revealed that the water quality of the fishing harbour was degraded and are subjected to chemical pollution, oil pollution, and microbial contamination. As suggestion to reduce harbour pollution should develop waste receiving facility for all boats. Implement strict rules and regulations in disposal of solid wastes, waste oil and biological waste including fish pats, blood etc. Initiate proper monitoring programmes to identify water pollution sources which discharge pollution into the inland and marine waters directly or indirectly, and provide awareness class to the fisheries community on the negative impacts of harbour pollution.
