The Betim Fishermen Jetty and Cooperative can be located beside a dense cluster of busy trawlers on the Mandovi estuary, under the Panjim-Porvorim bridge, Goa.
Present Site Condition – What used to be a high functioning fishing jetty with 150 trawlers, a chaotic fish market and a family of supporting economies (net mending sheds and gear shops) scattered in this fishing village, is right now ‘fitting-out’ in its context of luxury resorts and off-shore casinos dotted on and along the Mandovi.
Tourism Factor Effect – This gradual encroachment has led to many fishermen shifting to the tourism sector to make up for the fall in income and inability to survive the competition and has caused many such social and economic issues. Right now the site has lost its rigor in functioning, with the western half of the site bought by Deltin Royale.
