Margao: The cause of the concern for digestion is that while the National Center for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM) has used toposheet to prepare the draft plan of coastal zone management (CZMP), the agency has conducted an independent study to determine the coastal geomorphology of the state.
.
Environmental lovers have the view that this makes a design design that is inadequate as dressing or changing the dunes, hills, natural features, including changes in landscapes for beauty, recreation and other purposes, are among activities that are prohibited in the coastal regulations (CRZ) per notice Crz 2011.
This and the shortcomings related to this plan are shown in written submission made by Roshan Mathias, which emphasizes the need to enter topographic maps in the plan.
“Hilly areas and natural features are prohibited from being changed according to CRZ 2011 notifications High water lines (HWL) and low water channels (LWL), not to extract topographic or contours, “said Mathias.
Explain how it will have a negative impact on the coastal environment, Mathias said, “Permissions may be incorrectly given because of this and will commit direct / counter violations for CRZ 2011 notifications.
It will also cause disaster coastal areas due to erosion, changes in land use , etc.
“Providing an instance to go home, Mathias pointed to a hilly area inside the beach front in Tiracol, Keri, Arambol, Mandrem, Ashvem, Chapora, Vagator, Arpora-Baga, Aguada, Mormagao, Pequeno, Bogmalo, Cabo de Rama and Canacona.
Furthermore, it shows the absence of any definition for the hill or slope in CRz’s notification, Mathias said, “The closest definition can be found in the TCP Goa Law, which has considered careless soil as those who have gradients 1:10 and more.
It has been clearly intended as a sensitive area in the regional plan of Goa 2021.
But there is no careless soil record under the 1:10 gradient, which must be identified in the case of the coastal area.
“He said that without topographic marked on CZMP,” impossible To identify slopes, especially when the application comes to the department for the development of such a plot on a careless hill / land.
