Challenges
• The Coastal zones are defined by the extent of territorial waters up to the high
water mark. They are long, narrow features of mainland, islands and seas,
generally forming the outer boundary of the coastal domain. Find out the
concept, purpose, objectives and challenges of Coastal Zone Management for
general awareness.
• The Coastal zones are defined by the extent of territorial waters up to the high
water mark. They are long, narrow features of mainland, islands and seas,
generally forming the outer boundary of the coastal domain. The Coastal Zone
Management (CZM) is a process of governance that consists of the legal and
institutional framework necessary to ensure that development and management
plans for coastal zones are integrated with environmental and social goals, and
are developed with the participation of those affected.
Purpose of Coastal Zone Management

The goals of the Coastal Management (CZM) are to “preserve, protect,

develop, enhance, and restore where possible, the coastal resources.”
The purposes of Coastal Zone Management are given below:
1. To maximize the benefits provided by the coastal zone
2. To minimize conflicts and harmful effects of activities upon each
other, resources and the environment
3. To promote linkages between sectoral activities
4. To guide coastal area development in an ecologically sustainable
fashion
Objective of Coastal Zone Management

• The prime objective of CZM is to create balance between development

needs and protection of natural resources which means if coastal
ecosystems are manage through the guiding principles of sustainability
then livelihoods of millions will be protected and their survival
guaranteed.
• “To preserve and protect the coastal zone from activities that may
cause degradation of quality or loss of coastal land”
Challenges of Coastal Zone Management

The Coastal Zone Management is an interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral approach to

problem definition and solutions in the coastal zone. Hence, faces numerous
challenges which are given below:
1. Failure to appreciate the interconnections within coastal systems
2. Inadequate legislation and lack of enforcement
3. Limited understanding and experience in ICZM
4. Limited understanding of coastal and marine processes
5. Lack of trained personnel, relevant technologies and equipment
The Coastal Zone Management (CZM) is based on two sets of principle- firstly agreed
international norms, which were set out in the Rio Declaration on Environment and
Development; and secondly based on bio-physical nature of the coastal zone.
Guidelines for Development of Beach Resorts/Hotels in the
Designated areas of CRZ-III 
For Temporary Occupation of Tourist/Visitors, with Prior approval of the Ministry of Environment& Forests
Construction of beach resorts/hotels with prior approval of MEF in the designated areas of CRZIII for
temporary occupation of tourists/visitors shall be subject to the following conditions:
1.The project proponents shall not undertake any construction within 200 meters in the land ward side from the
High Tide Line and within the area between the Low Tide and High Tide Lines;
2. live fencing and barbed wire fencing with vegetative cover may be allowed around private properties subject
to the condition that such fencing shall in no way hamper public access to

3. no flattening of sand dunes shall be carried out;
4. no permanent structures for sports facilities shall be permitted except construction of goal posts, net posts

5. construction of basement may be allowed subject to the condition that no objection certificate is obtained
from the State Ground Water Authority to the effect that such construction will not adversely affect free flow of
ground water in that area. The State Ground Water Authority shall take into consideration the guidelines issued
by the Central Government before granting such no objection certificate.
Category II (CRZ -II):
The area that have already been developed up to or the
shoreline. For this purpose, ' Developed Area' is referred to
as that area within the municipal limits or in other legally
designated urban areas which is already substantially built
up and which has been provided with drainage and approach
roads and other infrastructural facilities, such as water
supply and sewerage mains

Regulations:
a) Buildings shall be permitted neither on the seaward side
of the existing road(or roads proposed in the approved
Coastal Zone Plane of the area) nor on the seaward side
of the existing and proposed road. Existing authorized
structures shall be subject to the existing local Town and
Country Planning regulations including the existing
norms of FIS/FAR
b) b) Reconstruction of the authorized building to be
permitted subject to the existing FSI/FAR norms and
without change in the existing use.
c) c) The design and construction of buildings shall be
consistent with the surrounding landscape and
architectural style
Areas in CRZ II

• The Notification defines CRZ-II as the areas which are developed up to or

close to the shoreline and falling within municipal limits.• Permissible
Activities
• Buildings are permissible on the landward side of the existing road,
authorized structure or hazardous line where there are no authorised
structures.
• Other activities such as desalination plants and storage of non-hazardous
cargo are also permissible.The Flo Space Index and Floor Area Ral for
construction projects shall be as on 19.2.1991 except for those specified in
the CRZ Notification, 2011 which is mainly for slum redevelopment and
redevelopment of dilapidated structure
In CRZ II

• Buildings shall be permitted only on the landward side of the existing

road (or roads proposed in the approved Coastal Zone Management
Plan of the area)
• Facilities for receipt and storage of petroleum products and liquefied
natural gas
• Facilities for generating power by non conventional energy sources.
