PANAJI: Coastal Zone Management Authority of Goa (GCZMA), at a recent meeting, said that dilution should not be permitted at the level of protection and ecological sanctity of mangroves, even when they fall in the Khazan ecosystem and outside the development zone (NDZ) from CRZ.
The question of the buffer zone around the mangrove stretch appeared before GCZMA when compiling a coastal zone management plan (CZMP) for Goa.
It was noted that the mangrove forest outside the NDZ CRZ area was not included in the scope of the Crz regulation.
It was found that there was no data about the mangrove demarcation and mangrove buffer zone for Goa.
Therefore, GCZMA decided that demarcation of CZMP must be carried out from mangroves that sucks more than 1,000 square meters, linear and exist along the river area with a width of less than 50m.
The mangrove is given the status of an ecological sensitive area and is classified as the Crz category it is below the Crz regulation.
However, GCZMA said that other mangrove patches also need to be protected.
“Authority recommends that the level of protection and ecological sanctity is available to mangrove forests that fall in the Khazan ecosystem and beyond NDz, regulations cannot be compromised or diluted in any way.
Wherever the buffer zone breaks on the side of the land htl, it will be limited to the limit CRZ I / CRZ III belt along the estuary and ups and downs ‘rivers or rivers’, because the case is possible, “Gczma said.
Recently, Goa completed the CZMP design after a lot of delay and sent it to the Ministry of Environment for the UNI for approval.
While CZMP is being completed, the Mangrove GCZMA Committee visits the National Sustainable Coastal Management Center (NCSCM) to verify the demarcation of mangrove forests and mangrove buffer zones on coastal plans.
A team from the State Water Resources Department (WRD) also visited NCSCM in Chennai to make a correction in the Land of the Khazan which was limited in the CZMP, based on the fear of land that had been carried out by objections and suggestions received from the public.
Mangroves are considered one of the most productive and biologically diverse ecosystems on the planet.
Mangrove forests provide habitats for a variety of wildlife such as birds, fish, invertebrates, mammals and plants.
