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)

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

• 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.
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:-
 Objectives

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 .
