Summary
Summary
The fishing industry of the Republic of Mauritius can be classified into three main
sectors: predominant small scale coastal fisheries within its lagoons, offshore bank
fisheries set up by middle-scale private capital, and the mass-scale deep-sea fisheries by
foreign vessels. Amongst these, the development of the lagoon fisheries has stagnated
due to under-modernised traditional fishing methods. Coastal fisheries are carried out
by artisanal fishermen, who are the main suppliers for the domestic consumption of
fresh fish. Their fish catch in 2000 was 1,360 tons, active fishermen were 1,741
personnel and fishing boats were 971 boats. However, coastal fisheries within the
inner lagoon have witnessed diminishing fish resources, fish catches and fishermen
income, mainly due to prolonged excess catches, which threatens the survival of coastal
fisheries. Furthermore, collecting sea sand has been banned since October 2001,
which has pushed approximately 1,200 sand collectors (formerly fishermen) to return to
fishing as a source of livelihood. Accordingly, the Mauritian government urgently
needs to put together measures for this population group. Meanwhile, the ecology and
the resources of the lagoons are constantly being degraded by urbanization, resort
exploitation, illegal pollutant dumping, contaminated water discharge, and the
unrestricted navigation of leisure boats.
In order to improve this fishing sector situation, the Ten Year Development Plan for the
Fisheries Sector of the Mauritian government sets the following objectives.
1. Sustainable resource use and protection of the marine environment.
2. Maximizing returns from existing fisheries.
3. Increased production through the development of under utilized resources.
4. Training, capacity building and institutional reforms.
To achieve these objectives, the Mauritian government recognises the need to

undertake several measures. The Ministry of Fisheries aims to convert the inner
lagoon fishing to outer lagoon fishing, by encouraging the training of new fishing
methods by artisanal fishermen for marine environmental conservation and resource
preservation. Until recently, training was conducted by the Albion Fisheries Research
Centre (AFRC) under the Ministry of Fisheries. However, due to constraints on
available working time for training personnel also engaged in research activities and
inadequate facilities and equipment for training, the training is not at a satisfactory level.
The ministry, as a salient urgent task, sees the need for an independent of training
section from AFRC, and well equipped training facilities specifically targeting the
i
artisanal fishermen and the former sand collectors.
In the meantime, the Fisheries Post (FP) under the Fisheries Protection Service (FPS)
has been managing fisheries in the inner lagoon, such as investigating illegal operations
and controlling fish catches at fish landing places and costal fishing area.
Unfortunately, the staff is often poorly trained and under-knowledged, and the work
procedure is not standardized. Services (e.g. managing claims, disseminating
meteorological information, etc.) for fishermen are similarly insufficient. Because the
Ministry of Fisheries has been pursuing a program to convert fishermen to the outer
lagoon fisheries, the area of jurisdiction of the FP has expanded to the outer lagoon in
addition to its existing fisheries management area , but this has not been successful due
to several reasons. These stumbling blocks include damage to and loss of FAD (Fish
Aggregating Devices) caused by cyclones and the passage of large ships, and the failure
to promptly notify this information to the fishing community, perform regular
monitoring operations around FAD areas, and implement appropriate rescue services.
The staff at FP must be responsible for such tasks. However, these activities have not
been possible due to insufficient training and the lack of boats designed for the ocean.
Therefore, more intensive efforts in the area of fisheries management are strongly
desired to support the artisanal fishermen and the development of the FAD fishery
sector.
On the other hand, it is essential that marine and resource conservation in the lagoon
must be carried out encompassing the preservation of biodiversity including coral reefs
recognized as a valuable tourist resource. Moreover, the marine and resource
conservation of the lagoon is not achievable with only regulation and control in the
fishery sector since coastal urbanization and tourism development are also related to
lagoon pollution. Hence, educational seminars on the status quo of the marine
environment for fishermen and citizens will be useful to prevent further maritime
degradation.
The Mauritian government, to promote transition to outer lagoon fisheries for marine
environmental conservation and resource preservation, has requested Japan, with strong
ties in the fishery sector, to be in partnership with it to achieve this Project. Upon
receiving the initial request, JICA conducted a preliminary study to confirm requested
content and feasibility of the Project as a grant aid scheme in January 2001. On this
basis, Japanese government determined to conduct the basic design study on the Project,
and dispatched a basic design study team to Mauritius in July 2001. After that, a draft
ii
report explanation team was dispatched in October 2001 to Mauritius.
Based on field survey and discussions with the Mauritian side, the Project aims to
reinforce training, fisheries management, and promotional capabilities, by establishing
new training facilities and providing modernized equipment for the fisheries training
and extension centre to:
1. Provide technical training to the artisanal fishermen who have been fishing
within the inner lagoon, and encourage them to relocate to outer lagoon fishing.
2. Ensure effective fisheries management around the inner and outer lagoon,
thereby improving marine environmental conservation and resource
preservation.
3. Provide promotional education to fishermen and citizens on the overriding
importance of marine environmental conservation and resource preservation.
The three main functions of training, fisheries management and promotional activities
are to be an interactive and complementary tripod, effectively supporting each other in
achieving marine environmental conservation and resource preservation. An excellent
result is expected only when all three synergetic components are sufficiently developed;
one function alone will not give the best results.
This Project will facilitate three functions of "training" "fisheries management" and
"promotional education". Considering the procurement potential of the Mauritian side,
the design concept as mentioned below is the basis for defining Japan s involvement in
the Project.
- Facilities must be kept to their minimum, thus planning of facilities should
encourage intensive and common use of the same rooms to upgrade efficiency
and flexibility of facilities operation.
- The size of jetty and access channel will be based on usage during normal
weather conditions (when there is a cyclone approaching, vessels will retreat to
the Port Louis harbour).
- Equipment must be kept to their minimum, with exhibition materials and
equipment for the promotional education which are considered to be of lesser
priority will be procured by the Mauritian side.
Based on the request from the Mauritian government, consistency with the intended
goals of the training program, the minimum required facilities and equipment and the
procurement capability of the Mauritian side were examined. Outline of the facilities
and equipment under the Project is shown in the table below.

The Project schedules 5 months for detailed design, tendering and contracting. Upon
completion of this phase of the Project, 14 months after contracting are scheduled to
complete the procurement and construction phase of the Project. The financial portion
of the Project to be borne by the Mauritian side is calculated at 5.774 thousand Rupee
(24.89 million yen).
With the implementation of the Project, an estimated training target of 8,000 trainees
(fishermen, government staff, etc.) and another 8,000 to 10,000 visitors to the facilities
will benefit from the Project directly. Therefore, this grant aid project is considered to
be both feasible and useful. The direct benefits will be:
iv
- Increase the number of the artisanal fishermen receiving training in outer lagoon
fishing techniques, marine environmental conservation and resource
preservation.
- Increase the number of government staff receiving training in fishery
management.
- Decrease the number of arrests for illegal fishing by strengthening the fisheries
management.
- Strengthen promotional education on the importance of marine environmental
conservation and resource preservation, thereby reaching a broader audience of
artisanal fishermen and citizens.
The Project will enable sustainable development by aggressively promoting marine

environmental conservation and resource preservation, which will further indirectly
benefit the 1.12 million inhabitants of Mauritius through an enhanced stable supply of
local fishing products.
Mauritius desperately needs to improve its fishery and management training programs
as well as to strengthen the education of its citizens on the value of maintaining, and
when possible, improving the marine ecology. New facilities and equipment must also
be introduced into such programs. The financial and human resources of the Mauritian
side, however, are considerably strained at present, further justifying the external
support that the Project deserves. Moreover, the following points to be borne by the
Mauritian side are considered salient in ensuring the smooth and effective
implementation of the Project.
1. Procurement of general furniture and office equipment.
2. Providing exhibition materials (panels, exhibits, and mini-cistern).
3. After construction and procurement, it will be necessary to reinforce the
effectiveness of the Project through technical cooperation in managing training
activities, including the drafting of training programs, preparing training
materials, and the monitoring and post-evaluation of training.

Chapter 1. Background of the Project
Chapter 1 Background of the Project
The Republic of Mauritius comprises a group of islands in the Indian Ocean, located
3,000km east of the African continent, or 800km east of Madagascar. The island is
sub-tropical in climate, with a coral coastline extending 330km, and a broad central
highland and mountainous area. The island stretches 61km from north to south, 47km
east to west, totalling 2040km2 of land area. The average temperature is 19℃ in the
winter, and 31℃ in summertime. It seldom rains from May to October, and the rainy
season runs from November to April, with annual precipitation of 1,800mm.
Since the British colonial period (ending in 1968), the economy of Mauritius had been
heavily dependent on sugarcane cultivation and sugar industry. However, since 1985
the export value from the EPZ (export-related industry zone) has exceeded that of the
sugar industry, indicating a significant departure from a monoculture economy. Per
capita GNP is US$3,540 (1999), an exceptional high figure amongst the African states.
Agriculture, processing industries (textiles, etc.) within the EPZ and tourism constitute
the mainstays of the Mauritius economy.
Coastal fisheries is carried out by artisanal fishermen, who are the main suppliers for the
domestic consumption of fresh fish. However, the coastal fishery within the inner
lagoons has witnessed diminishing fish catch per capita recently, effectively lowering
the fishermen s income. This is mainly due to prolonged excess catches, which
threatens the survival of the industry. Furthermore, collecting sea sand has been
banned since October 2001, which has forced an estimated approximately1,200 sand
collectors (formerly fishermen) to return to fishing as a source livelihood. Accordingly,
the government desperately needs to put together certain measures to encourage the
shift from inner lagoon to outer lagoon fishing. The inner lagoon fisheries are in rather
calm seas, in contrast to outer lagoon operations where harsher conditions require larger
boats. These types of fishing boat usually require 2 to 3 crew members with
knowledge and experience in safe navigation, outboard engines, and emergency training.
Therefor, training to artisanal fishermen is indispensable for the safety and profitability
of those directly involved. At present, the training is conducted by the Albion
Fisheries Research Centre (AFRC) under the Ministry of Fisheries. However, due to
lack of facilities and equipment, the training is not at a satisfactory level to meet the
demand of the sector s needs.
Meanwhile, the ecology and the resources of the lagoons are being progressively
degraded by illegal fishing, illegal dumping of pollutants and discharge of contaminated
water by urbanisation and resort exploitation, and the unrestricted navigation of leisure
1
boats.
The Mauritian government proposed to Japan in November 1995 The Fish Landing
Facilities and Fishermen Centre Expansion Project . Later, another plan entitled
Fishing Infrastructure Improvement for Coastal Small-Scale Fishermen in Mauritius
island and Rodriguez island (master plan study) was proposed in July 1998. However,
these projects ultimately were not adopted.
In the meantime, Mauritius subsequently re-requested financial aid to Japan in July

1999 under the The Project for Upgrading and Renovation of Management and
Training Facilities for Small-Scale Fisheries in Mauritius in order to strengthen pilot
outer lagoon FAD facilities and propel the shift from coastal fishery to outer lagoon
operations.
In November 1999, the regional division of JICA dispatched "the project formulation
team" to discuss with the Mauritian government policy and an optimum approach to
providing cooperation . The prime objective of this team was to determine to what
extent, if any, Japan could take part in the revitalisation of the Mauritian coastal
fisheries.
"The project formulation study" did not initially aim to focus on the The Project for
Upgrading and Renovation of Management and Training Facilities for Small-Scale
Fisheries in Mauritius . However, during the course of discussions on coastal fisheries,
some revisions were added to that plan, and a revised proposal was submitted to Japan
in December 1999, under the title The Project for Upgrading and Renovation of
Management and Training Facilities for Small-Scale Fisheries in Mauritius .
Upon reviewing this request, the Japanese government decided to conduct "the
preliminary study" in January 2001 to confirm the details of the revisions to the Project,
and to determine the appropriateness of the Project as part of the Japan’s grant aid.
"The preliminary study" identified the rational for the facilities and equipment, as well
as the overall objectives of the Project. The Project has subsequently been evaluated
as beneficial for the revitalisation of the traditional inner lagoon fishery, as well as for
promoting a greater shift to outer lagoon fisheries.
The Japanese government finalized to conducted the basic design study on the Project,
and dispatch the basic design study team to Mauritius from July 8, 2001 to August 3,
2001. After that, the draft report explanation team was dispatched to Mauritius from
October 28, 2001 to November 7, 2001.

2-1 Concept of the Project

2-1-1 Scope of the Project
(1) National Level Planning and Project Objectives

The inner lagoon coastal fisheries in Mauritius are witnessing diminishing fish catches due
to degrading fish resources from prolonged over-fishing, which is making the living of
fishermen harder. Similarly, the environmental condition of lagoons is rapidly
deteriorating due to coastal urbanization and development of tourism.
The 10 Year Development Plan for the Fisheries Sector in Mauritius is intended to improve
the above conditions. It has "1) Sustainable resource use and protection of the marine
environment" and "2) Training, capacity building and institutional reforms" as a top
priority policy, and upper objectives for this Project. The objective of 1) means to promote
marine environmental conservation and resource preservation and sustainable artisanal
fisheries in inner lagoon. The objective of 2) means to promote the establishment of FAD,
regulation of inner lagoon fisheries, and the political endeavor for development of outer
lagoon fisheries.
This Project aims to reinforce training, fisheries management, and promotional capabilities,
by establishing new training facilities and providing modernized equipment of the fisheries
management and training centre to:
a. Provide technical training to the artisanal fishermen who have been fishing
within the inner lagoon, and encourage them to relocate to outer lagoon fishing.
b. Ensure effective fisheries management around the inner and outer lagoon,
thereby improving marine environmental conservation and resource preservation.
c. Provide promotional education to fishermen and citizens on the overriding
importance of marine environmental conservation and resource preservation.
The three main functions of training, fisheries management and promotional activities are
to be an interactive and complementary tripod, effectively supporting each other in
achieving marine environmental conservation and resource preservation. An excellent
result is expected only when all three synergetic components are sufficiently developed;
one function alone will not give the best results.
(2) Project Components

The implementing agency AFRC formulated a plan to create facilities and provide related
3
equipment that can address training, management, and promotional program requirements.
Training: Fishing techniques for sustainable resource use
Currently, the Ministry of Fisheries does not possess facilities specializing in training. The
AFRC envisioned facilities will provide the training for the fishermen, as well as for the
staff of FPS, and teachers at primary schools.
Fishermen s training at present is not sufficient. The training usually takes place at
AFRC s main conference room and seaman schools for lectures, when these are unused,
and at other facilities for on-boat practice. However, AFRC s conference room is
reserved for its main purpose, seminars and national/international conferences, on average
of 79 times, or 105 days a year. Otherwise, the facilities are used 13 times (54 days) for
fishermen training, and 84 times (42) days for promotional activities. Totally, facilities
are used 176 times (201 days) per year. As a result, the occupancy rate reaches 80%,
assuming that the facilities are available overall for 250 days out of the year. Therefore,
not to mention the fishermen training, strengthening of training for staff and promotional
activities will be difficult with the existing facilities. Likewise, practical training in the
fabrication of fishing equipment, etc. is not at a satisfactory level, as the training vessel and
facilities at Port Louis are not equipped well enough. Sustainable fishing cannot be realized
without the extension of fishery management and know-how on outer lagoon fishing, such
as boat-navigation, safety at sea, fishing method, species composition, sea meteorology,
and investment and costs. Training in this regard requires it s the own specific facilities
as opposed to the present situation where training venues are scattered and poorly equipped.
To address this, the Ministry of Fisheries has accordingly formulated a proposal for
integrating such training in an effective manner at a single location.
Management: Strengthening fishery management
The proposed site of the project, Pointe aux Sables, used to be the office for one FP,
however, it was destroyed during civil unrest in 1999. As it cohabitates with the Port
Louis FP now, the distance from its jurisdiction area and insufficient equipment make it
difficult to carry out its envisioned tasks for fisheries management and resource protection.
Thus, rebuilding of the FP is an urgent task facing the Ministry of Fisheries. The Ministry
wishes the new FP to be a model for other existing counterparts, in terms of advanced
facilities, and equipment, operational procedure and task implementation. The Ministry
has completed a new fishery management plan, which includes control of illegal fishing,
collecting data on fishermen and their catches, FAD management, and support for artisanal
fishermen.
Promotional program: Enforcing education on the environment
At present, AFRC exclusively manages and archives information on marine resources and
environment. Educational facilities for marine resource protection and environmental
4
conservation aimed specifically at fishermen and general citizens or students in Mauritius
do not exist. Training lectures for them are held at AFRC. Considering the critical
importance of oceanic resources to Mauritius, promoting a consensus on marine protection
amongst the general population is essential because the marine environment is a source of
tourism. Already, the Mauritians have shown an immense interest in marine
environmental conservation, with 8000 visitors to AFRC, where audio-visual and panel
materials are available. Nevertheless, AFRC is originally a research institute, and there is
an obvious limitation availability of audio-visual rooms or space for panel exhibits. At
the same time, an overwhelming number of visitors would hinder the research activities at
AFRC. The Ministry has accordingly formulated a plan for the establishment of
Mauritius s first facilities dedicated to fishermen and citizens interested in marine
environmental conservation and resources protection.
With the completion of the project facilities inclusive of the three above-mentioned
functions, effective training for 500 artisanal fishermen and FP staff a year will be possible.
Also, the planned Centre can accommodate up to 8000 visitors per year, and will provide
educational materials. AFRC, alike, will benefit from usability of the conference room
for seminars, workshops, and conferences.
As shown above, the project facilities have three mainstays, namely, training, management,
and promotional programs. The new integrated Centre will create a new division at the
Ministry of Fisheries, and is expected to contribute to the realization of an environmental
blueprint, training for the transformation of coastal fishery, fishing management at
inner/outer lagoon, and improvement of information dissemination. In this light, the
Project is considered to be extremely meaningful and worthwhile.
(3) Content of Centre for Fisheries Training and Promotion

The requested facilities consists of three main functions.
1) Fisheries Training Function

The Project is targeted at artisanal fishermen, government staff, and schoolteachers. The
training projection at the new Centre is to train 500 persons a year (2003 - 2007). The
training will be carried out each training section following to training curriculums (refer to
appendix 6). Outline of the fisheries training program is shown in table below.

2) Fisheries Management Function

In order to upgrade the management and extension functions of existing fisheries posts
(FP), a model FP of facilities and operation will be established and equipped. The
practical works by FPS staff will be expanded as follows.
・ Monitoring of fish catch (Species, Catch volume, Volume of shipment)
・ Registration of fishermen, Fishing boats and Fish monger (middle man)
・ Application of subsidy
・ Safety control (Prevention of marine accident, Rescue)

・ Surveillance of illegal fishing (100cases per year)
・ Presentation of fishing data and announcement of seminar and lecture
・ Claim advice to fishermen
・ Fisheries management of fishing ground of FAD fishery (New item)

These practical works have not been performed, due to insufficient manpower and fisheries
knowledge, and not enough facilities and equipment. Therefore, reinforcing work duty
capability and promoting fishermen’s assistance services are planning through training of
FPS staff. At present, 100 cases of illegal fishing have been confirmed, the illegal fishing
will be projected to minimize these (target : 0 case) , through training of fishermen and
FPS staff.
3) Promotional Program Function

At present, AFRC, promotes and educates 8000 visitors a year on environmental
conservation. The new facilities will aim to provide 8,000 fishermen and primary school
6
students information on marine resource protection. Also, it envisions providing
information on maritime affairs to citizens.
According to the fisheries training plan proposed by AFRC, they would train the target
groups as mentioned in the table below. Also, in terms of the promotional effort by
display panel and AV for marine environmental conservation, the number of visitors is as
mentioned below.

(4) Review of Project Content
The proposed list of facilities and equipment prepared by the AFRC has been reviewed in
detail through discussions in Mauritius and the necessity of these has been clarified.
However, grant aid projects maintain a guideline of necessary and minimum provision;
excesses are eliminated as a rule. In light of the procurement capability of Mauritius and
the priority of facilities and equipment (ranking: training, fisheries management, promotion
functions) by the AFRC, the scope of assistance was studied as follows.
1) Policy of assistance for facilities

Facilities with training, fisheries management and promotion functions will be planned, but
these will be examined from the standpoints of necessity and minimization of scope
considering common use and flexibility of operation of facilities. Regarding the
training facilities, the lecture rooms and workshop will be planned corresponding to the
above-mentioned objectives of training. The FP will be composed of type/scale of rooms
to cope with its assigned task structure. The exhibition and AV rooms, which are
promotion facilities, will be planed based upon the number of visitors and flexibility of
operation. Common use and ingenuity of operation are specifically described us follows.
(Common use)
・ Three mess-kitchenettes are requested. However, two mess-kitchenettes, one in
the Fisheries Training Unit and the other in the Fisheries Post and Fisheries Extension
unit, are selected based upon the common use criteria.
・ Four toilets are requested. However, three are selected based upon the common
use criteria. These are for staff, visitors and trainees. The outside shower has been
cancelled because of the existence of an inside shower.
(Flexibility of operation)
・ Workshops are also used for practical training.
・ Capacity of audio-visual room is reduced in size from 100 to 50 persons room
capacity. Exhibition room scale is to be reduced as well. 100 person groups would be
accommodated through staggered scheduling.
・ Integrated data room, computer room and laboratory in the FP are excluded under
the Project because exclusive rooms are unnecessary according to work content.
(Others)
・ The FP accommodates 13 staff in stable room.
・ Minimum scale of jetty is the homeport to 2 training vessels and 2 surveillance
boats.
・ Mauritian side undertakes gardening, fence, gate, guardroom and fuel store, as these
9
are not the main part of the Project taking the financial capacity of the Mauritian side
into consideration. The planning of facilities is based on common use and
flexibility of operation . The requested facilities and the Project facilities are
compared in the table below. The Project floor area of facilities will be reasonable.

2) Policy of assistance for equipment

Equipment for strengthening of training and fisheries management functions with high
priority will be provided, but these will be selected from the stand points of necessity and
minimization of scope based upon the review of requested equipment, common use ,
flexibility of operation and utilization of existing equipment . The equipment for
training and fisheries management functions with high priority will be given priority in
selection. The equipment relating to training (Fisheries Training Unit and Workshop
equipment) will be that corresponding to the training objectives previously mentioned, and
will be mainly stationed in the lecture room and workshop (practical training room). The
equipment for the FP and Fisheries extension unit will be necessary for fisheries
surveillance/rescue activities. And also, the exhibition equipment for promotion facilities
are outside the scope of Japanese assistance because the existing panels and videos etc. can
be used in the initial stage of operation of the Centre. Common use , flexibility of
operation and utilization of the existing equipment are concretely described as follows.
(Common Use)
・ AV room for promotion function and lecture room will commonly use one LCD
projector.
・ Vehicle (truck with crane) will be introduced instead of vehicles for FP and electric
winch on jetty. This vehicle will be commonly used by training unit and FPS.
・ Ten computers are requested and will be planned for common use. And the
computers for the Information and Documentation Unit with promoting function and the
Administration Unit are excluded due to low priority.
10
(Utilization of existing equipment)
・ The existing equipment in AFRC will be alternatively utilized for requested display
panel, AV equipment and DVD camcorder for promotional function. Therefore, the
existing equipment will be used under the Project.
(Others)
・ Binoculars for fisheries management function will be procured by the Mauritian side.
・ Furniture for training will be covered by the Project, but general furniture and office
equipment are excluded from the Project because it is a Grant Aid scheme.
・ Equipment for promotional function are excluded because of low priority, but fixed
type screen will be provided

Instructors 2-3 Provide training Training and lecture
The followings describe the necessity of each room of fisheries training unit.
a. DSO Office
The Divisional Scientific Officer (DSO) will usually meet various visitors, staff, and
scientists. Typical meetings involve 4 to 5 persons, and furniture as that for a small
conference rooms will be necessary. Following the local tradition, the office will be a
private room. The office also includes a secretariat room for the secretaries of the
administrative division.
b. Scientific Officer s Room
The Scientific Officer is responsible for managing the entire fisheries training. The office
is used for planning the training, and managing data of fishermen. Following the local
tradition, it will be a private room.
c. Senior Technical Office s Room
The Senior Technical Officer is in charge of assisting the director, as well as managing
workshops and vessels. Using computers, the officer is expected to plan the
operation/management of facilities and vessels, maintain properties, and produce and store
the inventory lists. Therefore, the office needs to be equipped with a PC and furniture for
document storage. Following the local tradition, it will be a private room.
14
d. Technical Officer s Room
The room should accommodate 6 trainers and 3 assistants. Their tasks include
implementing training, producing training materials, scheduling practical training at sea,
and monitoring the fishermen after the training. One PC will be provided for common

e. Instructors Room
The plan expects to have 3 temporary instructors dispatched from the Development Bank,
Meteorology Bureau, and Seaman School. Also, one foreign instructor will be invited.
Henceforth, the room should have space enough for 3 people.
f. Teaching Materials Room
The room will be used to store the equipment and furniture for producing training materials
of FAD fishery, semi-industrial fishery (sword fish, deep see shrimp), bank fishery, EPS
staff training and marine awareness program.
g. Mess with Kitchenette
The Mauritians hold the tradition of having tea breaks, once in the morning and once in the
afternoon. For cultural considerations, there should be a room equipped with hot water
supply equipment and a table. Cleaners can use this area as an anteroom when the room
is not used for tea break time. Expected users will be 41 staff excluding FP staff and 37
trainees totaling 78 persons. Thus this room should serve 26 people at one time, and
shuffled 3 times.
h. Storage 3
Training material is necessary for 500trainees scheduled on training program. The
storage will be used to store teaching material, data for monitoring of trainees and
equipment and furniture for Fisheries Training Unit.
i. Meeting Room
The meeting room will be utilized for periodical meetings among 12 senior staff of the
Centre and 3 from the administration unit. The expected attendance is 15.

Environment , Marine Resources and Fishery , Marine Protection, Coral, and Pollution
Management , Marine Park and Preservation . The exhibition also features 6 other
items in glass cases, and short video productions projected by 4 audio-visual devices.
The room takes the circular style, and its stress is placed on visual effects, for increased
accessibility and understanding for the visiting trainees. These are also to be utilized for
training of fishermen and FP staff teachers on fishing method/gear and environmental
conservation.
Similarly, the team regards it important to enhance the knowledge of the marine
environment by introducing ecology of marine and coral areas to the 8000 visitors.
Considering the number of visitors, such effort will have a great impact on education and
publicity. The room measurement is based on the size of exhibits, panels, and paths.
i. Exhibition Room 2 (AV)
At present, video presentation and lectures on sustainable use and protection of resource
and marine environmental conservation take place at AFRC for fishermen and the general
citizenry. There are 8000 visitors, 100 at a time on average, and most are students.
Besides the panel exhibitions on marine environmental conservation in Room 1, the
Project plans video viewings and short lectures on necessities of environmental
conservation and resource protection within Room 2. As an extension of Room 1, Room
2 was originally sized at 100 as its capacity, however this Project has planned for 50. The
first 50 visitors will gather in Room 2, and the over flow of up to 50 will congregate in
Room 1, switching rooms as the content allows for. As in the case of Room 1, the main
activity of this room is part of the fishermen-training program. Room 2 requires furniture
to accommodate 50 people.
In addition to videos, Room 2 plans to exhibit from time to time new promotional panels
on marine environment conservation developed by the Centre s Information and

Source: Annual Report 2000 Fisheries
The number of tuna fishing vessels of about 50 m length has been 376, 481, 456 and 452
per year respectively since 1997, and fishing vessels under the flag of Taiwan account for
about half of all call vessels. Fishing vessels under the flag of Japan have decreased,
totaling 24 vessels in 2000. The local fishing vessels for bank fishery were about 10
22
percent of the total.
There was no data available at the time of this study for the mooring time for vessels,
however, most tuna fishing vessels are moored for about one week. Berth No.1 and 2 were
most full working during the field survey. Moreover, fishing vessels have no space
between each other and some are berthed parallel. In this situation, training vessels are
moored in forced-out position.
A number of collisions between large vessels and training vessels have occurred before,
and the port authority has been calling for a bar on training vessels within the existing
fishing port. The Port Master of the Port Authority sent a complaint letter about this matter
to the Ministry of Fisheries in July this year.
(2) Necessity and Suitability for the Required Civil Facilities

As mentioned above, Trau Fan Faron Fishing Port where training vessels are moored tends
to be utilized by large vessels. It is undesirable that training vessels are moored in the
existing fishery port continuously in consideration of safety of navigation and mooring in
the existing port facilities, and the Port Authority has sent a complaint letter against
training vessels. Moreover, there is no mooring space for training vessels in and around
Port Louis without the existing fishery port. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a jetty
for 2 training vessels and 2 surveillance and rescue boats in front of the Project site,
namely the fisheries management and training centre.
In addition to the above structure, in order to ensure the training vessel draft (Max. 2.0m),
it is necessary to dredge the mooring basin, turning basin and access channel. Moreover, it
is necessary to reclaim land area for the Centre in consideration of the existing insufficient
land area, and it is necessary to plan a revetment for the purpose of outflow protection for
reclamation material and wave blocking for the fishery training facilities.
The result of study on the suitability of the civil facilities (i.e., jetty construction) and
dredging of the access channel is as follows.
(Operation Plan for Training Vessel and Surveillance and Rescue Boat)
There are 2 surveillance and rescue boats, one is the existing boat for patrol in the lagoon
and the other is a new boat for outside the lagoon to be procured by the Project. FP s
under the FPS have been planning to manage FAD s out of the lagoon (currently 4
locations) in a point-sub sea area, assuming responsibility for condition of FAD fishery,
control and patrol of sports fishing in and around FAD and life saving activities for marine
accidents. There is some possibility of increase marine accidents when fishery is
increasing out of the lagoon. Marine accidents occur a few times per year at present.
The construction of jetty and dredging work is necessary in order that surveillance and
rescue boats can embark at all times in case of an emergency.
23
On the other hand, 2 existing training vessels are planning 103 ports departure per year in
order to navigate and operate for fisherman training, FAD setting and FAD maintenance.
The necessity of jetty construction and dredging work is high because the jetty for training
vessels is used very frequently. It is necessary to carefully examine cost effectiveness in
this regard.

(Options for Jetty Construction)

The following two options are considered in choosing jetty scale:
Plan-A : Jetty for Training Vessel and Surveillance and Rescue Boat
Under this plan, the jetty would accommodate 4 boats, i.e., 2 training vessels and 2
surveillance and rescue boats. It would be possible to secure the safety of oiling, handling
and getting on and off for the training vessel and surveillance and rescue boat.
Plan-B : Jetty for Surveillance and Rescue Boat and Offshore Mooring for Training Vessel
Under this plan, it would be possible for the surveillance and rescue boat to use and
approach the jetty. However, transportation of crew to the offshore moored boat, oiling to
the training vessel in the fishery port, handling of fishing gear, ice and FAD materials and
transportation of these materials from the Centre will be an obstacle to efficient boat
operation.
In case of Plan-B, as expenses generated by offshore mooring of the training vessel, there
will be the increased fuel expenses to call at Port Louis to on-load FAD anchors and the
increased labor cost due to the increase in working hours aboard the training vessels. If the
life span for civil facilities is assumed at 50 years, Plan-A for jetty construction is more
economical than Plan-B in consideration of total cost, which include maintenance cost on a
long-term basis.
24
Thus, Plan-A for jetty construction for training vessels and surveillance and rescue boats is
deemed appropriate.
(Benefit from Jetty Construction)

The construction of jetty facilities will contribute to safe navigation for 580 artisanal
fishermen in the western area as a result of the capability to patrol by surveillance and
rescue boat the coast of 40 km in the west shore of Mauritius. Moreover, the safety and
convenience of training on boat for 366 trainees per year will be high.

2-1-4 Study on Requested Equipment
(1) Study on Necessity of Requested Equipment
Requested equipment has been studied on the basis of facilities, activities, and training
curriculum requirements. Equipment necessity is summarized as follows.
1) Equipment for Fisheries Training Unit
a. Audio-Visual
AFRC has proven the considerable effectiveness in educating the public by using audio-
visual equipment. The new Centre requires such tools as well. At AFRC, videos and
slide materials are also abundant. However, the equipment located at AFRC is all booked
for conferences, seminars, and internal meetings, precluding availability for use by the
Centre. Therefore, new equipment should be purchased for the Centre. OHPs are
excluded, as they can be replaced by LCDs. Slide projectors, on the other hand, will be
part of the grant, as the demand to use the existing slide materials is high. The equipment
below will be used for fishing training.
Table 2-17 Audio-Visual Equipment of AFRC

Name Quantity Purpose
Screens 2 Fixed installation for two lecture rooms

LDC Projector + Video deck 1 Shared by two lecture rooms
OHP - Substituted by LDC
Slide Projector 1 Slide materials
b. Equipment for Safe Navigation Training

At present, FAD fishery operations take place 6 to 10 nautical miles (11km to 18.5km) off
the coast. Thus, considering vessel safety, training equipment is kept to a minimum. All
the proposed equipments are based on the content of training, FAD fishery instructional
requirements, and number of participants.

In the past, major marine perils have happened due to insufficient communications with the
27
mother ship. Therefore, training in radio communication equipment use is given a top
priority for security reasons. The Project provides 2 currently used transceivers as tabled
below.

c. Vehicle: Mini-bus with 15 seats

The government has been regulating inner lagoon operations based on its environmental
conservation policy, providing in exchange subsidiaries and fishing training.
Nevertheless, due to the lack of an effective program up to now to heighten villager
awareness of the importance of environmental conservation, villagers have not been highly
cooperative with this government initiative and illegal fishing operations have continued.
Thus educational measures for the generally poorly informed fishermen are crucial.
Unfortunately, simply waiting for voluntary participation by villagers will not suffice, a
situation aggravated by the remoteness of some areas and the already low level of
awareness that an urgent situation prevails. For this reason, the government pays a
training allowance, and offers pick-up by bus.
Currently, AFRC uses one bus for pick-up, as the number of trainees is 6 to 12 per time.
Under the project, the number of trainees can be up to 30 at a time, and offering 2 rides by
one 15-seater bus would be inefficient. Furthermore, the mileage of the northern route
and southern route is each 100km, which requires about 2 hours. Therefore, two 15-
seater buses, i.e. one each for the northern district and southern district, will be a
prerequisite for the island.
Study on the possibility of diverting current AFRC buses for use under the Project has
yielded the following findings. Three buses with 12 to 15 seats each and another with 30
seats are presently used by commuting AFRC employees. Unfortunately, the time period
during the day that these vehicles are used conflicts with the timing required to pick up and
drop off trainees under the Project, precluding their availability for use. The other two
buses are used for staff fieldwork, and to pick up fishermen. Fieldwork includes the
periodical environmental monitoring of 10 lagoons around the island and 12 barachois
(breeding pools) in the eastern coastal area. Also, periodical ecology monitoring of 12
coral shores around the island is included in this fieldwork (see Appendix 4-2). As outlined
above, sites to be monitored are spread throughout the island; therefore, one bus each is
necessary for the eastern and western areas. The eastern locations are particularly distant
from the Project site and thus one bus is required for exclusive use in that region. On the
other hand, the western sites are relatively close to the project site, and one bus is used for
28
daytime research as well as for morning and evening pick-up of trainees. Even after the
Project is implemented, this bus is utilizable for daytime research, which allows
appropriation for trainees in the morning and evening. A summary is tabled below.

Bus
This Project requires two buses (see Appendix 4-2: Mini-bus schedule plan). One of the
two buses can be substituted by a current AFRC vehicle, as indicated above. If one bus
cannot be procured under this Project, thus requiring the diversion of two present AFRC
buses, this will impede the other activities of AFRC s staff such as commuting and
research. Therefore, one bus needs to be newly procured under the Project.
d. DVD Cam-coder
This video edit system will be used to record and edit audio-visual materials for lectures
and exhibitions in DVD format. AFRC staff has produced a number of VHS video
materials, and use the same for training/learning. However, VHS videos are susceptible
to image degradation, and exhibition / training videos for later use would eventually
require DVD editing equipment which features superior image quality, and DVD editing
equipment is requested.
Nevertheless, VHS copies can be produced from the master tape when a copy deteriorates.
The team regards VHS videos suitable at this time for training use, thus the DVD cam-
coder will not be part of the grant aid under this Project.
29
e. Computers, Printers
Three computers have been requested for the Fisheries Training Unit. They will be
shared by 5 technical officers (scientific officer, senior technical officer, and 3 technical
officers). After considering the duties of these personnel, it is concluded that 2 PCs will
be adequate for 5 staff. Funding for any further PCs is to be borne by Mauritius side.
One printer is to be used for 2 PCs.
f. Ice machine, Ice Storage
Ice is indispensable for onboard training, and for preserving catches. The AFRC office at
Port Louis fishing harbor is equipped with an ice machine (200kg/day), producing ice for
training and temporary storage of catches. Regrettably, the equipment is not salt-proof,
and some of the air-cooling condenser fins have already begun to corrode. From a
professional view, only two or three years of probable use remains for the ice machine.
Hence, a new ice machine will be installed under the Project.
The number of persons per vessel is 9, including 6 trainees and 3 crew (instructors). The
average fish catch per capita is 20kg a day, thus the catch per vessel would be 180kg per
day. The ratio of ice used per fish is 1:1, which requires 180kg of ice per vessel. After
calculating five additional kgs due to melting during handling and onboard, the
requirement per outing is estimated to be 189kg. Therefore, the total amount of ice
required for one onboard training will be 378kg for 2 vessels.
Two training vessels embark once every other day. Thus an ice machine that produces
200kg a day, and ice storage of 400kg is required. Additionally, the type of ice should be
flaked to avoid damaging fish skin.
g. Freezer
A freezer is to be provided under the Project to store fishing bait. The AFRC office at
Port Louis fishing harbor has a freezer (500 litters), which is currently in use. However,
one of the two compressors for the freezer is out of commission. The air-cooling
condenser fins are corroding because of not salt proof type, which prophesies two or three
years for the machines to continue to operate effectively. A new freezer is urgently
needed.
With each onboard training outing, 2kg of live bait per person and 2kg of frozen fish per
person are required. The harvest of live bait depends on hydrographic conditions, which
are often unpredictable. Therefore, 3kg per person of bait must be previously prepared.
Bait should be bought in bulk, rather than unit purchase, as the FAD fishery course
contains 4 on-boat trainings. Thus the amount of frozen bait required will be 216kg /
30
course (3kg / person x 9 crew / vessel x 2 vessels x 4 times). Consequently, the size of
the freezer must be 500 litter-capacity, which is large enough to store 250kg of frozen fish
bait.
h. Live Bait Tank

・ Large tank (with ventilation fans)
When live fish are in the tank, there is an optimal weight of total fish relative to the size of
the tank. This figure is referred to as the fish load ratio, the formula for which is as
follows.
- W=B / (A-B) * 100%
- W: fish load ratio (%) A: tank capacity (litter) B: fish weight (kg)
If the bait is 100g per piece, W equals 22 to 24 %
The tank proposed under the Project will be used to store live bait for FAD fishery at the
Centre. One training vessel requires 18kg of live bait, and based on the above formula,
required tank capacity will be 100 litters. If 80% of the tank is flooded, capacity would
be 125 liters. There are two vessels; therefore, the Project will provide two 125-litre-size
tanks with ventilation.
・ Small tank (with ventilation)

Training vessels will use a small tank to transport live bait. For convenience, the required
18kg per vessel of live bait will be divided into two 9kg containers. Based on the above
fish load ratio formula, the desired capacity for the tank will be 50 litters. If 80% of the
tank is flooded, capacity would be 62.5 litters. Assuming two vessels, this would require
two 62.5 litters tanks and 2 ventilation systems.
i. Vehicle: truck with crane

This vehicle will be used for loading heavy weight cargo (FAD anchor, 300kg) to the
training vessels, as well as transporting fuel, water, FAD materials, fishing tools, ice, bait
tank, etc., from the Centre to the pier. At present, the training vessels are at anchor at Port
Louis fishing harbor and cranes owned by the port authority are borrowed for loading
cargo. For transporting fuel and materials, presently a Port Louis Fisheries Post vehicle is
used which is obsolete (70,000k on the odometer). The Project does not assume the
continued use of borrowed equipment and overly travel vehicles after the new Centre is
established. Obviously, the handling of heavy weight loads cannot be done by manpower
and a new truck with crane must be introduced into the field. The installation of a
powered pier-side crane was also studied as an option, but ultimately the truck with crane
was decided upon in light of the salt damage that would occur to a fixed crane due to
constant exposure to sea breeze.
31
The vehicle will also be utilized for daily watch over illegal operations at the two sites
under the post s supervision, collecting data on gross harvest, and hoisting watch cruisers.
The frequency of usage of the truck with crane is calculated to be 244 times a year for
onboard training, 134 times a year for FAD maintenance, and 250 times a year for routine
runs to sites, totalling 628 times a year.
In addition, the frequency of usage of the crane will be 258 times a year for onboard
training, 136 times a year for FAD maintenance, totalling 394 times a year.
j. Furniture
Types and quantities of general office furniture are determined on the basis of personnel
deployment of the Mauritian side. Types and quantities of casing furniture are
determined on the basis of estimated items and materials to be accommodated.
As a general rule under grant aid, the recipient country bears the cost of office desks, chairs,
etc., so this furniture will not be procured under the Project. At the time of facilities
operation start-up, however, due to the crucial need for furniture items relevant to the
lecture rooms and practical workshop training, such furniture has been included within the
Project scope of supply.
2) Equipment for workshop

a. General tools
A range of general tools are necessary for FAD assembly, and daily inspection of training
vessel engines and vehicles. Accordingly, as such tools are also necessary for the general
maintenance of the Centre and its required equipment, one tool set has been included under
the Project.
b. Outboard engine and poster

In general FAD fishery uses an outboard engine boat with a 25 HP engine. Therefore,
under the Project it is planned to instruct trainees in troubleshooting minor outboard engine
breakdowns, and the performance of daily checks and regular maintenance. An outboard
engine and poster detailing the outboard engine structure is accordingly necessary to
facilitate basic training in engine maintenance and repair during lectures. In the case of
FAD fishery training, a single class will comprise 12 persons, with related practical
training to be carried out in groups of 6 persons, considered appropriate based on past
experience with such programs. Accordingly, 2 sets of the above items are to be procured
under the Project.
32
c. Trolley
A trolley is needed to lift and load heavy items (outboard motor: 100 kg, ice: 400 kg, live
bait 70 kg, etc.) from the workshop and storehouse to vehicles, etc. One unit will be
procured under the Project.
3) Equipment for Fisheries Post and Fisheries Extension Unit

a. VHF/SSB radio transmission equipment
This comprises equipment for communication from the Centre to vessels and vehicles.
The main phone of the SSB system for long-distance communication with the existing two
training vessels is to be located within the Senior Fisheries Protection Officer s Room in
the Centre. Also, it is necessary to locate the main phone of the VHF radio transmission
for short-distance communication within the Senior Fisheries Protection Officer s Room in
the Centre, the fixed-mount VHF radio transmission type in the patrol and rescue boat (one
unit), and a portable VHF radio unit in each of the vehicles provided under the project.
b. Surveillance and rescue boat

・ Boat
Under the Project, inner lagoon fishermen are to be trained and newly converted to FAD
fishery for the purpose of inner lagoon resource conservation. This boat is to be used for
FAD fishery monitoring. Four FADs are located in the radius of twelve nautical miles in
the sea area that falls under the Fisheries Post s jurisdiction. Accordingly, one boat is
adequate to survey the area. Under current conditions, mishaps such as passing vessels
cutting the existing FAD s anchor ropes occur, as well as sport fishing depleting the fishing
area. Therefore, to better protect and promote FAD fishery, one boat is needed for
surveillance and rescue operations in the event of maritime accidents. This is in light of the
fact that the existing boat is for monitoring inside lagoons and is not suitable for operations
on the open sea.
The size of the boat should be more than eight meters in length, and accommodate four
crew members for ocean going navigation, and when search and rescue operations are
underway it should have space to accommodate six additional people equivalent to the
number of fishermen that would normally board two small fishing boats. Considering
maritime accidents, the boat should have two outboard engines and each engine should
have enough output power to reach an accident scene under circumstances of 2 meters
wave height within thirty minutes from the time of emergency notification. The boat
should also be outfitted with a GPS system for search and position locating, life preservers,
life jackets, etc.
・ Binoculars
33
Binoculars will be necessary for the monitoring of illegal operations in the area, and search
and rescue operations in the case of maritime accidents and crews lost at sea. Each crew
is provided one pair of binoculars, so in total four binoculars are needed. However, this
equipment is judged to be within the scope of Mauritius government responsibility, and
accordingly will not to be procured under the Project.
・ Night vision binocular

Night vision binoculars are necessary for navigation safety and search and rescue during
night time emergencies. It is estimated that 4 numbers are required. However, this
equipment is judged to be within the scope of Mauritius government responsibility, and
accordingly will not be procured under the Project.
c. Furniture
Types and quantities of general office furniture are determined on the basis of personnel
deployment of the Mauritian side. Types and quantities of casing furniture are
determined on the basis of estimated items and materials to be accommodated.
As a general rule under grant aid, the recipient country bears the cost of office desks, chairs,
etc., so this furniture will not be procured under the Project.
4) Equipment for the Fisheries Information and Documentation Unit

With the exception of the screen, the equipment for the fisheries Information and
Documentation Unit as set out below will not be included within the Project scope in line

34
2-2 Basic Design of the Requested Japanese Assistance
2-2-1 Design Policy
(1) Design Policy on Facilities Plan
The facilities of the Project are to be based on the following design criteria.
・ The size of a facility will be suitable to the number of staff for each unit. Units
with similar functions will share facilities wherever possible
・ The major facilities, the training and education units require a large space, are to be
accommodated within a separate one-storied structure, while other units are
planned to be accommodated within a two-storied structure. In principle, the
space usage plan strives for the maximum use of the limited space available at the
site.
・ The site is constantly affected by the northeast winds and occasional cyclones, as it
is located upon a sloping hill alongside the seashore. Accordingly the facility will
be designed to withstand such climatic conditions.
・ The design will harmonize with the local landscape and environment. Mauritius
has a very active policy to conserve and protect marine life and to promote the
development of the tourist sector. The Project retains this concept.
・ The scope and content of the utilities will be suited to the technical level of the staff
members in charge of maintenance and operations; and the grade and specifications
of the equipment that will be provided by the Project will incur minimal
maintenance costs (electricity consumption volume, consumables, etc.).
・ The construction materials are to be carefully chosen, taking into consideration
durability, costs and applicability, and local construction techniques.
(2) Design Policy on Civil Facilities

Design concepts for civil facilities are based on the following items.
・ Design conditions will be determined based on the results of investigations of
natural conditions.
・ The type of structure adopted will be suited to local construction ability and
materials. Also, it will be selected in consideration of the maintenance for the
structure and method of construction.
・ The jetty and access channel will be planned taking into account the necessary
scale of the facilities and the port layout will be planned minimizing the rock
dredging volume since the rock exists at a shallow area.
・ Construction of a breakwater near the jetty does not seem realistic because it is
hardly justified from the viewpoint of cost-benefit analysis. Therefore, during
cyclones, training vessels and surveillance and rescue boats will be evacuated to the
35
Port of Port Luis. A minimum of mooring facilities will be constructed.
(3) Design Policy on Equipment Procurement

The equipment that will be provided under the Project are based on the following design
criteria.
・ Selection of equipment for the Fisheries Training Unit will be based on maximum
training of groups of 12 and 20 per session.
・ The quantity of computers will be located to encourage collective use, and
appropriate for the assigned duties.
・ Materials for workshop are to be designed so that the instructors and trainees can
carry out maintenance and repair on training vessels, vehicles, facilities and
equipments.
・ The surveillance and rescue boat is to have a range of 900 nautical miles, as its
function includes day-trip and visits in the outlying areas.
・ Specification of vehicle is to be minimized; accordingly their purposes will be
clearly defined.
・ The quantity of the equipment will be limited to the minimum number of units
required at the time of the Centre s opening. However, the quantity required for
easily damaged equipment and spare parts will be planned.
・ The grade of the equipment will be selected according to precision, salinity-
resistance, durability and handling easiness.
・ Computers, facsimiles, copy machines and furniture will be procured to the extent
possible either within Mauritius or from third country suppliers in the region.
Additionally, priority will be given to the ease of spare part procurement.
2-2-2 Basic Plan

(1) Basic Concept of Facilities
1) Site plan
① Basic concept of site plan
After careful study of the proposed site, the following criteria comprise the basic concept
to facilities layout planning.
・ Buildings are to avoid slopes that face the ocean.
・ Zoning shall encourage the smooth flow of trainees, visitors and staff through the
complex.
・ Facilities shall be laid out with consideration to their in relationship to the jetty,
36
which will be constructed on the northeast seaside of the facilities.
・ Revetment will be constructed on the inner side of the high tide shoreline. The
planned parking lot behind the revetment, to be situated on the west side of the site,
will be located facing the road for reducing landfill.
・ The elevation of outside floors adjacent to the revetment will be lowered, which
will reduce the height of the embankment.
・ Preservation of the existing foliage of Banian tree is to be maximized, and the
existing tree trimming is to be kept to the minimum.
② Facilities layout plan
The Project site is an irregular shaped area that stretches 140m (east-west), and 40 to 50m
(north-south). The south side runs alongside the road, and the north side faces the coral
sea. The land is 3.4m above sea level at low tide. Approximately 70% of the area is 3m
above sea level. The Pointe aux Sables area, where the site is to be located, has the
following construction regulations.
・ In principle the high tide shoreline must be maintained.
・ Buildings must be constructed 15m behind the high tide shoreline.
・ Building s height must be lower than 10m (2 stories would be maximum).
・ Drainage and seepage facilities must be installed 30m behind the high tide
shoreline.
・ No building may be constructed within a 6m of a road.
In consideration of the above regulations, the following design is proposed:
・ Vehicle parking will be located on the western area of the site.
・ Facilities will be constructed along the eastern side of the site, where it is relatively
flat, and close to the planned jetty.
・ Vehicle and users entrance will be from the western side, close to the planned
parking lot.
By incorporating the above criteria, building construction will avoid the sloping northern
side of the area.

① Floor Plan
Based on the design policy, the facilities are to be easily accessible and conveniently
situated for the staff, trainees and visitors that come to the Centre. (see below: Figure)
The Centre building will be in principal one-storied, with a portion of the structure two-
storied. The ground floor will house the information, administration, promotion, and
training facilities, and be designed to ensure smooth access for everyone. The first floor
will include training trainer s office, director offices, conference rooms and service rooms.
All rooms will be equipped with sunshades to reduce the temperature by direct sunlight
during the day, and adequate ventilation will also be incorporated into the design of the
buildings.

② Sectional Plan
a. Foundation and Ground Floor Level
The foundation and the ground floor elevations of buildings will be determined based on
results of the geotechnical investigation, access road elevations and sea level.
・ Foundation Level
The foundation level of the structures will be based upon the lowest level amongst the
present ground levels around the construction site. The foundation on the seaside slope is
planned to be supported by the existing ground; pilings are not required under the design
plan.
・ Ground Floor Level

The Centre must be user friendly while being secure under extreme weather conditions.
Therefore, to ensure the minimum differential in elevational steps, the ground floor level
will be 10cm higher than the actual ground level under each structure.
b. Section plan
The Centre that face the seaside must incorporate maximum utility within the limited space
available. Accordingly, the Centre located at this part of the Project site will be two-
storied, with an arc-shaped roof. This type of roofing will minimize structure joints and
thereby reduce the roof maintenance. As Mauritius has both dry and wet seasons, the
building will include an attic to maximize overall thermal insulation. All windows will
have overhead sunshades to block the daytime sunshine. The seaside slope side of the
outer floor will be 80 cm below the ground floor of the Centre. This method of
construction will minimize soil backfilling volume as well as reduce the difference
46
between the outer floor and the jetty. Typical to similar facilities, in general the height of
the ceiling will be 3m. Ceiling height for rooms with high user concentration such as
those for exhibition will be 3.8m high.
③ Structure Plan
a. Earthquakes and Wind
The geological region of Mauritius does not experience earthquakes. Therefore, the
design plan will not include seismic force calculations. On the other hand, as an island
nation, the wind factor is an important aspect when designing structures. In the case of
Mauritius, the stipulations by the British Standard Institution (BSI) are used to calculate
wind load. The applicable formula to determine wind load is provided below.
Benchmark wind speed is 70m/sec (corresponding to a return period of 50 years)
F = Cf ×ｑ×Ac ＝ 303.3×Cf×Ac (Kgf)
ｑ= k×Vs2= 702／16 ＝ 306.3 ( Kg／m2 )

F ＝ wind pressure
Cf ＝ wind force coefficient（depending on the section of the building）
ｑ＝ velocity pressure （Kg／m2）
Ac＝ surface area subjected to pressure （m2）
ｋ＝ Constant
Vs ＝ design wind velocity （m／sec）
V = benchmark wind velocity（m／sec）
S1 = topography coefficient
S2 = roughness coefficient of ground surface
S3 = probability coefficient
c. Foundation Structure
The ground surface layer at the construction site (to the depth of 3.3m) is composed of
coral sand with sand gravel, whose N value is 16-43. The sub-surface layer includes
primarily a stratum of weathered basalt with an N value at 50+, which is prevalent
throughout Mauritius. Based upon these local soil conditions, the long term soil bearing
strength has been estimated at 15.0t/m2, and structure foundations will be constructed of
collume footing.
d. Superstructure
The superstructures will adopt the a rigid RC frame structure. The walls of the buildings
will be mostly concrete block material. As such, no rigidity or bearing strength
calculations will be required. Since the length of the building (L) will be 71.0m,
47
supporting beams will be one solid structure, although expansion joints will make-up part
of the upper structure.
④ M/E Facilities Plan

There are 3 basic principles to the facilities plan: 1) easy operation and maintenance, 2)
anticorrosion against external conditions (e.g. salt damage), and 3) minimal maintenance
cost. Monitoring, emergency, information and communication facilities, etc. will be
concentrated in the administration room, to ensure efficient management of the facilities.
［Electricity Facilities］
］
a. Power supply, and emergency generator
Power supply will be provided via a transformer located near the site. An underground
cable is designed to provide power to Machine Room 2 under low voltage, while the
distribution panel supplies power on demand. In case of a power outage, an emergency
fuel driven power generator will be installed in Machine Room 1. The emergency
generator will supply lighting to the 24-hour duty Fisheries Post and Fisheries Extension
Unit and Fire Pump, with a capacity of 20kVA. The electricity specification of Mauritius
is triphasic, four-wire 400V or 230V at 50Hz. The electric single line diagram of the site
is provided below.

b. Main feeder line
Power supply for the buildings will be provided through the main distribution panel
48
located in Machine Room 2 via the lighting distribution, the power distribution and the
control panel. To avoid salt corrosion, wires exterior to structures will be in principle laid
underground. The main line diagram map is shown below.

Fig. 2-6 Main Line Diagram

c. Power facilities
Power supply for such facilities as air conditioning, pumps and training equipments will be
supplied through the distribution panel. The power facilities and equipment will e
anticorrosive and water proof. The conduit piping will be PVC pipe that is also durable
against salt corrosion.
d. Lighting and Outlet facilities
Fluorescent lighting will be mainly used throughout the Project. Street lamps will also be
installed at designated places around the site. Training equipment and air conditioning
will have exclusive circuit connections. Lighting and outlet connection wires will be
concealed. PVC pipe will be used for these types of wiring. The outlet connection will
be according to the BSI standard.
e. Telephone facilities
Push button telephones will be installed. The PBX distribution will be located in the
information & documentation / administration room. Telephone terminal units will be
installed in the training rooms, the fisheries post and fisheries extension rooms, the
information & documentation rooms and in other rooms where required. All telephones
will be equipped to handle interphone connections to ensure internal communication.
f. Emergency facilities
Emergency lights and emergency exit lighting signs will be installed at the building s exits
and the stairs, and other designated locations. All emergency devices are battery operated
to be operational under power outages. Fire alarms will be installed in the corridors and
in other designated areas. The receiver will be installed in the administration room.
g. Monitoring facilities
A monitoring panel will be installed in the administration room to monitor the operating
49
conditions of the electric facilities, the emergency power generator, the pumps, etc. and to
check and warn of breakdowns and other abnormalities.
［Air Conditioning facilities］

］
A compressor located outside the building with individual cooler units installed in each
room. Air conditioning of each unit can be adjusted independently. The air temperature
of Mauritius during the summer season (November to April) is 20-31℃, and in the winter
season (May to October) 17-28℃, therefore no heating will be required during the year.
All air conditioning will provide a cooler unit only. Additionally, one air conditioning
will be installed within the entrance hall, as many visitors at one time are expected. To
increase ventilation, Machine Room 1 will house a pressure fan. For other parts of the
building, natural airflow will be designed into the overall plan except for the service rooms
and toilets, where forced ventilation is appropriate.
［Water Supply and Drainage facilities］

］
The fresh water supplied to the Centre is provided by the public water service, via
underground pipes. The Project building is two-storied in some parts, and thereby the
water head pressure requirement is not large. However, as the water supply may be
interrupted during a cyclone, the Project includes installation of a water pressure supply
pump. Also, a water reservoir to extinguish possible fires is designed into the Project.
The Project calculates that the number of the staff, the trainees, and the anticipated visitors
each day require 7.03 tons of water a day, and another 2.4 tones for fighting a fire.
Accordingly, the capacity of the respective water reservoir is calculated using the formula
below.
V = effective capacity of the receiving reservoir (m3)

V1 = Ｑ（daily maximum water volume in m3)/ t (amount of time used per day/in
hour) x T (maximum supply time during water supply cutoff /hour)
V2 = water volume for fire extinguishing
V1 = 7.03／9×9×1/2 ＝ 3.5 m3
V2 = 2.4 m3
V = V1+V2 = 6.0 m3
The water supply diagram by the water reservoir is shown below.

a. Drainage facilities
As the Project site does not include a public sewage infrastructure, waste water and toilet
waste water must be properly treated within the site. Wastewater will be divided into two
streams. Toilet waste water will be led to a septic tank, filtered and finally permeated into
the ground through infiltration pipes. Other wastewater will be directed to the infiltration
pipes. Filters and infiltration pipes will comply with the local standard.
b. Hot Water facilities
Hot water will be provided by localized hot water heaters located in such rooms as the
mess or the shower room.
c) Fire extinguishers
Fire extinguishers will be placed in designated area in the building. One fire hydrant
should cover a 25m radius.
⑤ Construction Materials Plan

Locally procurable construction materials are limited. With the exception of concrete
aggregate and concrete blocks, all other materials must be imported. Local products will
be given priority for procurement, although materials with extremely limited availability,
special materials, and those that require particularly high quality will be purchased in Japan
or a third country. Finish schedule of building is shown in the table below.

(2) Basic Plan of Civil Facilities

1) Layout Plan of Jetty and Access Channel
The subsoil condition around the project site of the jetty and access channel is a medium to
hard rock formation-weathered basalt appears from a relatively shallow depth of about G.L
-3.0 m, and inclines gradually towards the north-west (The rock head depth at Borehole No.
S-1 is G.L -6.86 m). Further to this, the layers between G.L -1.3 m ~ -3.0 m are also
classified as bouldery, hard silty-sand with N-values ranging between 30 and 50. Thus, it is
likely that some difficulties in the construction of the jetty and channel dredging may occur.
Under the above subsoil conditions, it is necessary to carefully examine the structural type
and construction method of the jetty and the dredging plan for rock materials including the
necessary temporary facilities, taking the most economical construction and full utilization
of locally available construction materials and equipment.
(Basic Concept for Jetty Planning)

・ As rock lays at shallower elevations around the shorelines, it is not appropriate to
place the jetty close to the shorelines due to the considerably increased volume of
rock dredging. The possible locations of the jetty are therefore proposed on PLAN-1
~ PLAN-3 at distances of 40 m, 70 m and 95 m from the planned revetment line
respectively, considering a certain off-set from the shoreline.
・ An old stone masonry jetty constructed during past F.P times exists in the seaside
front of the project site, and the area between the old jetty head and the shoreline
52
forms a very shallow water area. Due to only minor influence of tidal currents in the
area, circulation of seawater hardly occurs (the water depth of the area is less than -
0.5 m). It is therefore recommended to adopt a stone masonry causeway onto the
existing topography in this area.
・ In relation to the planning of the Centre, it is advantageous to locate the workshop
and the jetty as close as possible to the effective movement arrow plan. In this sense,
providing the stone masonry causeway along the existing old jetty is most preferable
from the constructional and economical view points.
・ Rock appears in the area of boring No. S-5 at 20 cm below the seabed. Therefore, the
access channel should not be planned around there. The access channel will be
straight from a view point of safety.
The following 3 cases have been examined in the planning of the jetty and the access
channel and compared for economical aspects. The temporary work applied in the
examination is discussed hereinafter.
PLAN-1 : The location of the jetty is the closest to land-side.
(Causeway length 40 m + Trestle 10 m + Jetty 30 m)
PLAN-2 : The location of the jetty is shifted toward offshore to decrease rock
dredging volume. (Causeway length 50 m + Trestle 20 m + Jetty 30 m)
PLAN-3 : The location of the jetty is further shifted to minimize rock dredging
volume.
(Causeway length 55 m + Trestle 40 m + Jetty 30 m)

The following Japanese standards will be applied for the study.
- Technical Standards for Port and Harbor Facilities in Japan, 1999 : Japan Port
Association
- Design Standards for Fishing Port Facilities in Japan, 1999 : Japan Fishing Port
Association
ii) Design Standard

Surveillance and Rescue Boat : L=10.0 m, B=3.5 m, Draft=0.75 m, 10 GT
b. Design Tide Level

M.H.W.S (H.W.L) : +0.33 m (C.D.L +0.70 m)
M.S.L :±0.00 m (C.D.L +0.37 m)
M.L.W.S (L.W.L) : -0.17 m (C.D.L+0.20 m)
c. Design Wave Height

A shallow area with depths of -1.0 to -2.0 m exists in front of the project site. There is
a reef edge 1 km north from the project site and the reef edge appears during the low
tide. On the other hand, no reef edge appears during the low tide exists at the north-
northeast direction. Refracted waves come from a north-northeast direction to a
northeast direction.
The wave height on the reef can be calculated by Takayama s empirical formula
(1997). However, because the reef edge is located 1 km far from the project site, the
wave height from the northeast becomes so low that no wave effects should be
considered.
Therefore, in determining a design wave height at the jetty, waves from the northeast-
north direction will be considered taking into account the reef edge which is 500 m
far from the jetty.
The wave height at the edge of the reef has been calculated by Gouda s formula
considering refraction and shallow effects. H1/3 has been calculated at 4.09 m. The
height reduces to 2.1 m at the jetty according to Takayama s empirical formula.
d. Subsoil Condition
The area around the jetty (S-1 to S-4) has the following subsoil conditions.
Surface Sandy soil with sand gravel including coral
Second Layer Silty sand
Foundation Layer Weathered basalt
- N-Values
The following N-values were revealed from the SPT.
Table 2-25 N-values from the SPT

S-1 S-2 S-3 S-4 Average
Sandy soil 4, 12, 5 - 8 - 7
Sandy silt 21 28 - 51 33
Weathered More than 50 More than 50 More than 50 More than 50 More than 50
basalt
58
- Standard soil condition
The nearest borehole from the jetty is S-2. According to S-2, the layer below -2.70 m
is formed of silty sand and layer below -3.30 m is weathered basalt. According to S-3,
the layer below -2.70 m is sand with pebble stone and the layer below -3.30 m
consists of weathered basalt. Therefore, the area between -2.70 m and -3.30m has
been assumed to be sand with pebble stone. For design purposes, the standard soil
condition of the offshore area is as follows, based on results of the field survey and
laboratory test.

e. Basic Dimensions of Jetty

- Deck elevation
The elevation of the jetty deck has been planned at +1.50 m considering the
following guidelines for the determination of deck elevation in practical use;
Table 2-26 Recommended Elevations of Deck for Practical Use

Tidal Range (m) Objective Fishing Boat (GT) Objective Fishing Boat (GT)
( H.W.L~ L.W.L) 0~20 20~150
0~1.0 0.7 m 1.0 m
1.0~1.5 0.7 m 1.0 m
Source : Extracted from Design Standard for Fishing Port Facilities in Japan.
- Jetty width
A width of 4.0 m has been applied considering the planned vehicle width (B=2.0 m)
and a 1.0 m clearance at both sides including the space for curbs.
f. Alternative Study of Jetty Structure

In Mauritius, gravity type structures are not adopted for marine facilities in general.
Instead piled/sheet piled structures are typically applied.
In this design therefore, drilled pile types with H-shaped steel piles or steel pipe piles,
as typical in the country, and cellular concrete block type have been selected for the
structural alternatives. From the results of the comprehensive evaluation on
constructional/economic aspects, the drilled pile with H-shaped steel column type is
proposed as the most optimum type for the structure. (Ref. Table 2-27 ) The typical
cross section of the jetty is shown in Fig. 2-20 .
59
g. Ancillary Facilities of Jetty
- Fenders
Fenders are to be installed vertically. The required sizes of the fenders are V-
200Hx1000L for training vessels and V150Hx1000L for surveillance and rescue
boats. The standard spacing of fenders is normally 1/6 of the objective vessel length,
in this design however, the installation spacing of 2.7 m is to be applied as
appropriate to the planned pile spacing.
- Mooring bollards and rings

One (1) mooring bollard of 5-ton capacity is to be provided at the Centre of the jetty
and 2 mooring bollards of 3-ton capacity are to be installed at the both edge of the
jetty for the training vessels. Four (4) mooring rings are to be installed for
surveillance and rescue boats.
- Ladders
For safety, a total of 4 ladders are to be provided, 2 on the training vessels berthing
side and 1 on the surveillance and rescue boats side.
- Lighting
No lighting system will be provided at the jetty. Instead solar operated, embedded
type light reflectors are to be installed at the 4 corners of the jetty for the
identification of the jetty at nighttime. It is deemed possible for training vessels to
utilize their own lighting in case of night operations.
60
3) Trestle Design
a. Design Wave
The design wave height is 2.1m, which is the same as for the jetty.
b. Basic Dimensions of Trestle

The crown height and width of the trestle applied are the same as the basic dimensions of
the jetty.
c. Structural Comparison for Trestle.

It is undesirable to disturb tidal currents by structure because there are tidal currents at the
area of trestle at all times. Thus, drilled pipe type of H-shaped steel piles, gravity
trapezoidal type structure and gravity foundation type structure are proposed in
consideration of their permeability. The gravity foundation type structure is applied based
on case of construction and economical efficiency. The typical cross section of the trestle is
shown in Fig. 2-21 .
d. Unit Weight of Armour Stone

The unit weight of armour stones of the gravity foundation can be calculated by following
Hadson s formula.
γ rH3
W =
K D (S r − 1) 3 cot α
where、W ： Unit weight of armour stone(t)
γr ： Unit weight of armour stone (2.70 t/m3)

Sr ： Unit weight of armour stone in sea water (Sr=γr/γw)
γw ： Unit weight of sea water (γr=1.03 t/m3)
H ： Design wave height (m)
KD ： Coefficient (KD = 4.0)
α ： Angle between the slope and horizon (cotα = 2.0)
Based on the above formula, the minimum required unit weight of armour stones is 0.73
ton per piece. Therefore, an armour stone of 1,000 kg per piece can be adopted.
e. Ancillary facilities of trestle

For the jetty, no lighting system will be provided on the trestle. Solar operated, embedded
type light reflectors are to be installed on the curve stone of the passageway at an interval
of five (5) m along both sides of the trestle as a guide in the night-time.
62
4) Causeway Design
a. Design Wave
The wave height at the reef edge has been calculated at 4.09 m by Takayama s empirical
formula (1977). At the causeway, the wave height would be 1.7m.
b. Basic Dimensions of Causeway

The width of the causeway applied is 4.0 m, the same as the basic dimensions of the jetty
and trestle. The crown height is transited at an incline 2% for a section of 55 m from
+2.60˚m at planning elevation of transitional part of the jetty to +1.50 m of the elevation of
the trestle.
c. Examination of Causeway Structure

A stone masonry type causeway is the most suitable because stone is inexpensive in
Mauritius. This type of structure is economical because it is not necessary to dredge and it
can be constructed directly on the original ground. The typical cross section of the
causeway is shown in Fig. 2-22 .

The unit weight of armour stones calculated by Hadson s formula is 0.39 ton per piece.
Therefore armour stone with a weight of 500 kg per piece can be adopted.
e. Ancillary facilities for causeway

- Lighting
Embedded type light reflectors are installed at intervals of 5 m on the causeway.
5) Access Channel and Basin Design

The width of the access channel should be from 3 x B to 5 x B according to Design
Standards for Fishing Port Facilities in Japan (Here, B is the width of boat/vessel). As a
result, 20 m has been applied based on 4 x B (Width of Training vessel: 4.92˚m (B) x 4).

64
The width of the turning basin has been set at 30 m, twice the length of training vessels
(refer to next figure).
Four (4) navigation aids will be installed, 2 each at the starting point and the ending point
of the access channel as identification for the training vessels in the morning-time and
surveillance and rescue boats in the night-time.
65
6) Revetment Design
a. Design Wave
The wave height at the reef edge has been calculated at 4.09 m by Takayama s empirical
formula (1977). At the revetment, the wave height would be 1.5 m.
b. Basic Dimensions of Revetment

Generally, the crown height of revetments should be based on utilization of the hinterland
as categorized in Table 2-29. The calculated value of overtopping should be less than 0.01
m3/m/sec according to the following table because some facilities are expected for the
Centre behind the revetment.
Table 2-29 Permissible Rate of Overtopping by Important Point of Hinterland

Houses and public facilities are present.
critical damage expected by overtopping
waves and splash. About 0.01
Other important areas About 0.02
Other areas About 0.02 ~ 0.06
Source Technical Standards for Port and Harbor Facilities in Japan
If the wave height is 1.5 m in front of the revetment and the crown height of the revetment
is +3.50 m, the permissible rate of overtopping is calculated to be 0.0093 m3/m/sec. The
calculated value is within the permissible range. Thus, the crown height of +3.50 m should
be applied.
c. Examination of Revetment Structure

The height of the revetment will be 1.0 to 2.5 m. The type of structure for the revetment to
be applied can be in-situ concrete type, concrete block type or stone-pitching type. If a
stone pitching-type is applied, rubble mound revetment and construction of the revetment
will be carried out after completion of the jetty and causeway construction, it will be very
economical because stones for the temporary road can be diverted as armor stone for the
revetment. Thus, the type of revetment applied is stone pitching-type rubble mound.
The typical cross section of revetment is shown in Fig. 2-2-3 .

The unit weight of armour stones calculated by Hadson s formula is 0.36 ton per piece.
Therefore armour stone with a weight of 500 kg per piece can be adopted.

With regard to the infrastructure around the Project site, the road (6m wide) to the site is
fully paved, and both power and water supply is located along the roadside. Accordingly,
transporting and installing equipment within the site will not be an issue. However, as the
site is facing the sea, equipment that is planned for use outside the facility will require
some anticorrosive countermeasures to prevent salt damage. Indoor equipment is planned
for storage within cabinets to prevent salt damage.
2) Equipment Plan

2-2-4 Implementation Plan
2-2-4-1 Implementation Concept
(1) Basic Concept
The project will be implemented by the following procedure within the frame of Japan s
Grant Aid System.
1) When the Exchange of Notes (E/N) regarding the implementation of the project is
signed between Government of Japan and Government of Mauritius, the executing
agency (AERC and Ministry of Fisheries) will commence preparatory works.
2) A Japanese consultant will enter an agreement of engineering services with the Ministry
of Fisheries to provide service as the Engineer on behalf of the Mauritius Government,
and will arrange for a tender following to the detailed design of facilities and preparation
of tender documents based on the detailed survey results.
3) A Japanese contractor selected through a tender will sign on a contract with the
executing agency and will carry out the works under the supervision of the consultant.
4) The Japanese contractor shall undertake the construction works in accordance with the
effective procurement plan and schedule of the project.
(2) Implementation Concept

1) The construction method will be planned considering procurement of locally available
materials and local conditions of construction industry in Mauritius as much as possible.
Certain construction materials such as steel products, steel bar, sash, roofing materials
and some equipment are available in the local market which are imported from South
Africa and Europe, however the procurement source will be determined based on the
market prices since some materials are expensive when compared with Japanese
products.
2) In Mauritius, several Japanese contractors have been engaged in the construction works
of projects under the Japan s Grant Aid Program. These contractors have employed the
local contractors as subcontractors, mostly as a function of manpower supply or leasing
of construction equipment, therefore the experience on marine works of the local
contractors is quite limited. From this, it is necessary to supervise carefully, particularly
as to the construction schedule.
86
2-2-4-2 Implementation Conditions
(1) Facilities
In the implementation of the project, the following factors concerning the coordination
with related agencies, construction methods and so on must be considered.
1) It is necessary to secure a temporary construction yard because the site space is quite
limited. Also required in the implementation is to take sufficient safety precautions for
nearby residents since the site is located inside a town area.
2) As the offshore work site is located in shallow lagoon sea area, any shipment and
approach by floating equipment from seaside to the site would be difficult. The
construction works therefore, will be carried out from land-side as much as possible
except for some inevitable offshore works like channel dredging, considering work
efficiency.
3) The maximum weight of armor stone for the causeway and revetment will be
limited to about 10 ton due to available dump truck capacity of 10 ton.
4) Tax exemption will be applied for the construction works under the Japan s Grant Aid
Program. The Ministry of Fisheries as the executing agency of the project, will
coordinate the exemption process with the Ministry of Finance. After receiving
application forms, Ministry of Finance will issue an approval letter to the Ministry of
Fisheries. As the procedures of tax exemption for import and domestic materials are
different, the contractor, with full coordination with the executing agency, shall observe
the requirements of such procedure for each case.
(2) Equipment
The period of equipment installation for facilities closely corresponds to the progress of
construction works at the site. For this reason, preliminary meetings between all parties
must take place to determine the most suitable coordination and timing under the
construction schedule.
87
2-2-4-3 Scope of Works
The scope of works for which the Japanese Government and Mauritius Government are
responsible are listed in the following table:

2-2-4-4 Detailed Design and Construction Supervision

(1) Schedule of the Consulting Services
The project shall be commenced with the signing of E/N, pertaining to the engineering
services for the detailed design and construction on the works, between the governments of
Japan and Mauritius. The contract for the detailed design and construction supervision
shall be concluded between Ministry of Fisheries and the Japanese consultant who will
provide the following engineering services within the limits of the Grant Aid.
1) Detailed Design Phase
The Consultant shall carry out the detailed design of the civil, building, and building
equipment works for the Fisheries Management and Training Centre with the concepts of
88
the basic design. The contents of the detail design are as follows:
* Design criteria and standard,
* Construction Planning,
* Drawings and Tender documents, and
* Drawings for application procedure, providing technical information
2) Pre-construction Phase
After the completion of detailed design and tender documents, Ministry of Fisheries shall
select a Japanese contractor through an open tender. The Consultant shall assist Ministry of
Fisheries on the following tasks;
* Bid announcement,
* Pre-qualification of contractors,
* Pre-bid conference and site inspection,
* Tender and tender evaluation, and
* Contract negotiation.
3) Construction Supervision Phase
The engineering services for construction supervision will begin with the commencement
of construction works by the Contractor. The Consultant shall perform his duties in
accordance with the criteria and standards applicable to the construction works and shall
exercise the powers vested in him as the Engineer under the contract to supervise the
construction works by the Contractor. The Consultant within his capacity as the Engineer
shall directly report to Ministry of Fisheries about the work progress and shall issue memo
or letters to the contractor regarding the various matters, including progress, quality, safety
and payment of the Project.
(2) Consultants Staffing

The required staff of the Consultant and their responsibilities at the detailed design and
construction stages are described below:
* Team Leader
* Building Engineer
* Equipment Engineer
* Civil Engineer
* Electrical & Mechanical Engineer
* Water Supply & Sewerage Engineer
* Construction Planner/ Cost Estimator
* Tender document Specialist
* Resident Engineer
89
(3) Construction Schedules
1) Preparation works
a. Temporary Yard
With the issuance of a Notice to Proceed, the Contractor shall initiate the preparation
works. These include mobilization of construction materials, equipment and labor force.
Especially, opening of the base camp at Port Louise is very essential for the transportation
of construction materials/ equipment and smooth implementation of the project.
b. Provision of temporary utilities at project sites
Provision of electricity, waters and other utilities necessary for the construction work has to
be done prior to the commencement of the construction work.
2) Construction works
a. Implementation procedure
The project consists of both on-shore and off-shore construction works as the site is located
near shore. The construction will be started from the foundation works for the jetty and
revetment for the reclamation.
The building works for the Fisheries Management and Training Centre will be started
timely manner to enable simultaneous completion of both revetment work and building
external work.
b. Construction works control
The quality control and schedule control of the works by the Japanese contractor is vitally
important as it is intended to utilize the local contractors as much as possible. In this sense,
it is necessary to conduct thorough schedule management and frequent milestone
inspections in order to secure required quality of the constructions.
2-2-4-5 Procurement Plan

(1) Labor Force
It is not difficult to obtain common and skilled labor force required for the project because
of normalized tendency of over-supply of work forces in Mauritius. Local contractors who
may have sufficient experiences in general civil works and building works, have generally
no experience in offshore construction works. Therefore, it is necessary to dispatch skilled
workers to conduct the submerged work, armour stone work, building roofing work, and so
on.
(2) Construction Materials

Normal Portland Cement is imported from Indonesia or South Africa and supplied
generally in a form of 50 kg-bagged cement. A large quantity of cement when required can
90
be supplied using locally available cement tank lorries.
Course aggregate for concrete is obtainable from the quarries located within the areas of
Port Louise outskirts. Since no natural sand mining is allowed in Mauritius, and fine
aggregate is also to be obtained from the selected quarries by crashing stone ( particle size
2 mm ).
As for steel materials such as steel bars, H-shape steel beams etc., these are available at the
local market as imported from abroad, mostly from South Africa, however prices are so
expensive that the procurement from another source country may have to be considered. In
the same manner, wooden materials and products/ fittings for utilities and lighting works
are also to be procured from other source countries or Japan.
Imported metal roof products and aluminum sashes are available locally, however it is
intended procure these from Japan due to some issues in terms of quality and price.
The scheduled source countries for the procurement of main construction materials are
indicated in the following table.
Table. 2-34 Scheduled Source Countries For Main Materials Procurement

Items Mauritius Third Countries Japan
Cement O
Concrete, sand/ gravel O
Re-bars, wooden materials O O
Metal roof products, aluminum sashes O
H-shape steels, fenders O
Products/ Fittings for utilities/ lighting O O
(3) Construction Equipment

Most of the construction equipment are available locally in Mauritius other than certain
equipment such as heavy duty cranes etc.. Even though most of such equipment are
secondhand ones, it seems that no problem exists in use. It is therefore intended that the
construction plan is so drawn as to fall within the capacity of the locally available
construction equipment.
2-2-4-6 Quality Control Plan

(1) Facilities
Quality control of facilities against salt damage and cyclones is crucial, as the site is
located at the seaside. Points of special note with regard to quality control against salt
and cyclone damage are described below.
1) Material and Equipment Specifications

The quality of the materials and equipment to be used for the Project must be thoroughly
91
confirmed with regard to strength and salt-resistant characteristics. The selection of roof
materials that are directly exposed to outside air should particularly be based on durability
and climate resilience. The finishing material for outer walls must prevent salt
penetration into the main concrete structure. All equipment for external use should be
duly protected against salinity and be shielded from direct exposure to sea breeze when
possible. All internally housed equipment should similarly incorporate salt resistant
specifications.
2) Quality Control Check-Sheet

A quality control check-sheet for the Project must be prepared before undertaking
construction. The check-sheet must set out the content and method of inspection with
regard to necessary salt-resistance and durability measures. The check-sheet is also to be
applied to engineering quality control during the construction phase of the Project.
Specifically, approval of materials and construction drawings, and quality control for each
step of the construction process and progress control are to be carried out on a check-list
basis. Particularly with regard to the quality of concrete material, careful quality control
must be carried out in terms of aggregates, origin of cement, and robustness test of the
concrete used.
(2) Equipment
The Project requires a broad range of equipment including training apparatus, vehicles and
vessels. Major points of concern regarding quality control of the same are listed below.
1) Thorough pre-shipping inspection

Specifications and quantities of all equipment are to be examined by a third-party
commissioned by the consultants to ensure strict pre-shipping inspection.
2) Drafting Inspection Manuals

Regarding the equipment supply works that require the installation works, the inspection
during the stage of handing over shall be carried out after getting the client’s approval,
preparing the inspection manuals and check-sheets (including specifications, quantities,
test operation procedure, and operational training) written in English, setting out the
inspection schedule, inspection items and inspection method for each piece of equipment.

2) O & M Budget Reserves

It has been confirmed that the training and O&M costs required for the Project can be
covered from the recurrent budget of the Ministry of Fisheries. The additional training
costs incurred under the Project are in fact planned to be met by the capital budget in
addition to the recurrent budget. One million rupees (about 5 million yen) have been
allocated from the capital budget this year to remove obsolete structures from the proposed
Project site. The necessary budget increment incurred from implementation of the
envisioned Project will be 1,322,900 rupees, anticipated to be allocated from the capital
budget.
The capital budged is an annual 4 million rupees (20 million yen), and it is expected that
this budget will be expanded to cover the related costs incurred by the executing agency
under the Project.

- preservation of lagoon resources.
- decrease in illegal fishing operations by artisanal fishermen.
- increase in the income of artisanal fishermen, thereby improving their living
standards.
- increase in fish catches, which would decrease fish imports.
b. Implementation of the training for government officials and the establishment of a
fishery management post will result in:
- improved services for fishermen.
- better fishery management.
c. Investment in educational facilities (Fisheries Information and Documentation) will

result in:
- increase in civic awareness on marine resource and ecology conservation.
- improve ecological protection within the lagoon.
The Project will enable sustainable development and conservation of marine resources and
ecology, which will also indirectly benefit the 1.12 million inhabitants of Mauritius
through a more stable supply of fishing products.
3-2 Recommendations
Tasks for Mauritian counterparts to ensure efficient use of facilities and equipment are
listed below.
(1) Adequate Budget for the Project

Since the Project does not include equipment such as general furniture, office equipment,
exhibition materials, and works necessary for the elimination of buried debris in the
construction area and for infrastructure construction, adequate budgetary measures are
required to ensure that the construction and implementation phase of the Project is carried
out in a timely manner.
(2) Staff Deployment
Staff deployment for Project operation and management will be required in a timely
manner after the construction phase of the Project is complete.
(3) Necessity for Technical Cooperation
The Project aims to establish training facilities for fishermen, strengthen fishery
management, and provide awareness education for the general public. In order to ensure
105
a maximally effective training program after facilities and equipment provision under the
Project, technical cooperation in the aspect of operation and management (including the
formulation of training curricula, preparation of teaching materials, and the monitoring and
post-evaluation of the training program) of the facilities will be highly valuable. At
present, Japanese experts (fishery planners) are currently posted to Mauritius under a
technical cooperation program to assist the government in preparing fishery administrative
policy including that aimed at improving the living standard of artisanal fishermen. In
this regard, it is recommended that follow up technical cooperation under the Project be
closely coordinated with the aforementioned technical cooperation already in progress.
(4) Consistency with the Efforts of Other Donors
UNDP is currently engaged in a grant-aid pilot project to encourage artisanal fishermen to

shift to the outer lagoon operations (semi-commercial fishing). The progress of the
UNDP initiative should be carefully monitored as a reference benchmark in implementing
this Project.
