Issues in CRZ

i. Housing construction in accordance with local town and country planning

ii. Tourism to be permitted along beaches with minimum setback or no setback.

iii. Fishermen houses to be constructed in NDZ iv. Coastal road and infrastructure to be permitted v. Eco friendly development in ESAs vi. Reclamation to be permitted for construction vii. No CRZ regulation in Port areas viii. Thermal power and certain industrial activities, mining to be

permitted. ix. Pollution, erosion, Stalinization and destruction of habitats

Review of CRZ

Dr. Shailesh Nayak Committee constituted in 2014 submitted its report in 19.1.2015. Major recommendation include; • Eco-friendly construction and tourism in CRZ –I area, • Construction of houses as per local laws with strict

environmental measures • Declaring highly populated stretches as CRZ –II • Construction of fishermen / local communities houses within

NDZ • Tourism to be promoted in identified stretches with minimum

setback and stringent environment conditions • Hazard line to be part of management system • Simplification of the procedures

Adani Port and SEZ Limited (APSEZL)

• Sunita Narain Committee, April 2013- (ERF) @ 1% of the project cost or Rs.200 crore >

• For Protection of marine ecology, mangroves, restoration & conservation of creeks, studies & monitoring of the entire project areas.

• Social infrastructure and livelihood support for fisher communities.

• Show cause notice to M/s in August, 2013 as to why the ERF should not be constituted.

Business Standard– Govt. cancels Rs.200 crore green fine on Adani

APSEZL Contd…

• April, 2014 – Creation of ERF was not backed by any law under E(P) Act, 1986.

• September, 2015 – Ordered for restoration of degraded environmental components and conservation as recommended by Sunita Narain Committee.

• More stringent conditions with open ended financial commitment by APSEZL –

Financing the study; restoration and integrated conservation for protection of creeks, mangrove areas, conservation of Bocha island

ICZM project and Coastal Mission

• Phase-II of the ICZM Project to be extended to remaining ten States and UTs.

• Four based documents sent to DEA and have been processed

• Remaining States have been requested to submit • National Workshop is being organized to set up

infrastructure for Phase-II

• National Coastal Mission under Climate Change prepare and submitted to Climate Change Division for comments

National Coastal Mission

• PMCCC approved Coastal Mission as one of the components of the Climate Change.

• Sea Level Rise due to climate change is serious issue

• The ICZM Project mainly focuses on adaptation measures

• Draft coastal mission document prepared and comments obtained from CC Division and to be circulated to all 32 Ministries and ten Coastal States by next week. Salient features of the report:-

1. Scientifically map the cumulative vulnerability of coastal

environment to climate change and consequent threats to ecology,

lives and livelihoods

2. Develop vulnerability- based environment & adaptive

management plans for key sectors

o Mainstream climate sensitivity and readiness into all coastal

developmental projects

o Promote development taking into account the threats due to

natural hazards in the coastal areas and SLR

3. Build resilience of coastal communities (e.g. fishers, agriculture etc.),

infrastructure and settlements (urban and rural)

4. Conserve and protect coastal stretches, its unique environment and

its marine area by enhancing mitigation (e.g. Blue carbon)

5. Build institutional capacity (sector-wise & community)

Challenges and Opportunities

The coastal areas, Islands, the marine waters have huge untapped potentials for economic growth, job opportunities, and livelihood security for coastal communities .

The main challenge to be addressed :-

(i) Pollution

(ii) Shoreline change & saline intrusion

(iii) Conservation protection of ESAs

(iv) natural disasters including Sea Level Rise

Potentials:

(i) Fisheries :- blue revolutions initiated by GOI in June 2016

(ii) Tourism:- India as a destination for Islands and Coastal tourism

(iii) Economic activities: Ports, SEZs, Industrial activities, Oil & Gas

(iv) Non conventional energy: Offshore wind, Solar, tidal (450 GW)

(v) Drinking water: desalinization plants

(vi) Food and Pharmaceuticals

The above can achieved by appropriate planning based on scientific principles and its implementation .
