Neendakara Port
Neendakara is a famous fishing harbour located around 8 km from Kollam district of Kerala, India. When Portuguese traders settled in Kollam (then Quilon) in the early 16th century, their ships passed through the Neenadakara bar, now the site of Neendakara Bridge, part of National Highway 47, which connects the village to Sakthikulangara across Ashtamudi lake. In Malayalam, Neendakara means “a long bank”. From here you can see the Ashtamudi Lake joining the sea from the Neendakara Bridge and also the Chinese fishing nets silhouetted against the sky.
The place has many reasons to attract visitors and one such reason is the existence of Indo-Norwegian Fisheries Community Project, the headquarter of which is located at the Neendakara Port. This place is a hub of fishing and other marine activities of the region and the Indo-Norwegian Fisheries Community Project gives support to the fishing activities here. Some of the activities running under this project are setting up of a Fishermen Training Institute and establishment of a boat building yard at Sakthikulangara along with a refrigerator plant.
