The Coastal Development Authority of Karnataka has submitted a ₹100-crore proposal to the State government to develop sea-front, marine drive, and fish processing centres along the coastal districts.
The projects spanning Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts envisage upgrading the coastal belt as a tourist spot and augment livelihood of fishing communities.
At a foundation laying ceremony for various developmental programmes on Friday, Mattar Ratnakar Hegde, Chairman of the authority, said it has submitted the proposal to the State government.
Plans include the construction of a sea-walk along Someshwara and Tannirbavi beaches in Mangaluru taluk, and to set up tourist facilitation centres and surfing schools at Tannirbavi and Sasihithlu beaches.
