Maharashtra State, India

Brief Background

• Maharashtra

Population: 112 M (2011)

Contribution to national GDP: 13.3% (2006 – 2007)

• State of Maharashtra has embarked on a nine-year program to develop and implement sustainable methods to manage its shoreline

• Funding: state financing + a loan from the Asian Development Bank

The Maharashtra Coast • 720 km shoreline

320 km affected by erosion

• Rocky and sandy stretches

• Heavily armored in developed areas

Revetments and seawalls

• Dominant coastline use – shipping, fisheries, cultural attractions

Jetties and breakwaters

The Coasts

Commercial Jetty and Fishing Harbor

Cultural Attraction and Coastal Road

Pier for Passenger Ferry

Navigational Entrance

Beach Vendors and Recreation

The Nine-Year Investment Program

PPTA

Tranche 1: $15.2 million

Tranche 2: $79.4 million

Tranche 3: $74 million

Project Phases: Maharashtra PPTA : completed

Tranche 1: 2010 – 2013 (in progress)

Tranche 2: 2013 – 2016 (indicative)

Tranche 3: 2016 – 2019 (indicative)

ADB loan : $120.2 M

Maharashtra Govt.: $35 M

Private sector: $13.4 M

=> Total: $168.6 M

Executing Agency: Maharashtra Maritime Board

Anticipated Impact

Increase income and reduce poverty of the coastal communities in the sub-project areas of Maharashtra

• Five years after program completion (2024)

Increase per capita income for coastal communities in the sub-project areas

Increase contribution from tourism to State GDP

Reduce poverty incidence in coastal communities

Sustainable Coastal Protection and Management Program

Sustainable Coastal Protection and Management Program

Expected Outcome

Protected and managed shorelines in the state meeting the needs of stakeholders and the environment

Expected Outputs

1. Developed a sustainable management structure and management plans for shorelines

2. Reduced coastal erosion and instability

3. Enhanced in-state capacity for shoreline planning and development

What is “Sustainable?” • Sustainability: the capacity to endure

• For us:

Consider engineering, environmental, economic, and social elements in developing responsible solutions for coastal management

Provide a means for the State to act as a steward of its valuable coastal resources

Broad Program Investment Strategy for Sub-Projects

All activities must involve the community and stakeholders

1. Provide coastal protection to address immediate coastal erosion needs – Implement economically viable protection works through the use environmentally and socially

appropriate solutions

2. Address the causes of coastal erosion or coastal instability – Improve coastal infrastructure currently causing or could cause damage to natural coastal

processes

– Key areas of intervention include navigation inlets and training of river and creek mouths

3. Promote natural protection measures – Develop and vegetate dunes, plant mangrove or other trees for protection or shelter

4. Invest in other coastal management initiatives like water quality improvement, dredging, reclamation, etc.

5. Apply investments to increase the economic value or amenity value of the coast and shoreline

Project extends Jan 2012 – May 2015

PMDC Goals 1. Establish a sustainable coastal management program

for the State

2. Establish long-term, strategic planning framework for the State

3. Strengthen institutional capacity

4. Implement Tranche 1 projects

5. Plan and design Tranche 2 projects

1. Establish State Program • Set up a Coastal Infrastructure Management Unit with

mandates for

Coastal protection and engineering (tactical)

Beach and ecosystem management (strategic)

Data acquisition, storage, and dissemination

Coastal Management Information System

Coastal environmental clearance support

2. Strategic Planning Framework – State Level • Identify the principles of the shoreline management

strategy

• Develop general engineering, environmental, social, and economic screening criteria requiring compliance for project funding consideration

• Incorporate by reference all completed feasibility studies or management plans

• Maintain a list of all proposed and constructed projects by district throughout the state

• Provide relative information regarding compliance with the CRZ Notification 2011

2. Strategic Planning Framework – State Level • Describe the requirements for obtaining government

clearances, as applicable

• Describe the CIMU’s long-term data collection and monitoring program

• Describe the CMIS

• Describe the state’s shore erosion emergency response plan, including permitting and funding policies

2. Strategic Plans – District Level • Segment the districts into Coastal Process Units

based on shoreline characterization

• Analyze coastal processes

• Characterize land use

• Identify appropriate Coastal Management Units [geographic in scope]

• Develop sustainable shoreline planning and management strategies

• Collect data to support the above analyses

3. Strengthen Institutional Capacity • State, district, and community level

MMB, Fisheries, Tourism, PWD, Environment, Kharland, DPC, Panchayat
