Volume 52- June, 2018 03 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Study for Extension of Runway at Cox’s Bazar Airport The Government of Bangladesh has taken a masterplan for extension of the Cox’s Bazar Airport in order to develop it as an international air terminal in order to promote tourism industry and handle cargo flights to all over the world.The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) will extend the runway and also the lighting facilities following the international guidelines. The northern part of the extended runway will intrude into the mudflats of the Moheshkhali Channel and the airport lights will be installed on piers in the Moheshkhali Channel. The mudflats will be filled with dredged materials from the riverbeds and shallow areas in the Bakkhali River and the Moheshkhali Channel in order to protect the airport from tidal water and cyclonic surges. CAAB entrusted IWM to carry out an EIA study. Moheshkhali Channel at northern end of the airport The airport area is bounded by the Bay of Bengal at west, the Moheshkhali Channel at north and the Bakkhali river at east. Moreover, the northern part of the proposed runway extension is in the inter-tidal zone of the Moheshkhali Channel. The areas adjacent to the existing Cox’s Bazar airport comprise several habitat types including sandy beaches, mangrove, estuary, river, tidal creeks, commercial enterprises and Spoonbill Sandpiper Cox’s Bazar beach homesteads. The area is important for more than 200 species birds (Rashid and Khan 1987) and about 80-90 species of fish. People are mostly poor and involved in small businesses, fishing, dry fish industry, tourism etc. Enhancement of tourism industry, associated with the development of the airport, will improve sales, income, employment and transport facilities in the area. The increase of cargo flights will have positive impacts on the dry fish, shrimp fry and other industries. A comprehensive Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is suggested comprising mitigation measures to minimize the negative impacts of the project, guidelines to monitor the proper implementation of the mitigation measures and enhancement measures to compensate the unavoidable residual impacts on the environment. Analysis of available data and results of mathematical model simulations show that the Local Fishermen runway extension works including the protective measures and lighting piers will have insignificant impacts on the hydrology and morphology of the Moheshkhali Channel. As a result, the impact on the flora and fauna including fish, mangroves etc. will be minimum. The dredging work at Bakkhali River and Moheshkhali Channel will increase turbidity in water which may cause harm to the aquatic life in the dredging area. Use of cutter suction dredgers; enclosure of the dredging area by silt curtains; avoiding dredging activities during spring tide; and enclosure and compartmentalization of the land filling area by sand filled geo-tubes are suggested in order to mitigate sediment dispersal in water. The air and noise pollutions are expected to increase due to increase of aircraft operations. Provision of noise barriers (6m high brick walls) near sensitive receptors, proper maintenance of aircrafts, vehicles and machinery, restrictions for use of low noise and air pollution producing air crafts are suggested. The residual impacts of the project may be compensated by taking and sponsoring conservation and habitat improvement initiatives. Re-excavation and restoration of Nazirtek inter-tidal canal will have a positive impact on the improvement of water quality to enhance fish habitat and aesthetic value of airport surroundings as well. Environmental enhancement: Green zone and blue canal The study recommended that EMP shall be included in the bid document and the civil works contracts. Timely implementation of EMP is essential in reducing negative impacts. The Environmental Monitoring Plan shall be strictly followed by executing agency, consultants and contractor to ensure compliance

    J. Sci. Foundation, 9(1&2): 115-124, June-December 2011 ISSN 1728-7855 STATUS AND DECLINE CAUSES OF FISHING ACTIVITIES OF THE BARAL RIVER, NATORE, BANGLADESH *F. A. Flowra, M. A. Islam, S. N. Jahan, M. A. Samad, M. M. Alam ABSTRACT The present investigation is a humble attempt to explore fishing techniques of the River Baral from November 2010 to May 2011. Different fish capture methods, fishing gears and crafts that were usually used in the study area have been provided. Hand fishing, cloth fishing, bait fishing and fishing by dewatering were also observed. Causes of habitat degradation and changes of natural habitat and declination of fishes were also observed. Some problems of the fishing community of the study area were also identified. A few policy recommendations have been given in the concluding chapter which may have some positive implication on the life and living of the fishermen in Bangladesh in general and the Baral basin in particular. Keywords: Gears, Crafts, Spears, Hook and lines, decline causes INTRODUCTION River plays an important role in the life and living of the people of a country specially the fishermen. These are also important in terms of huge fisheries resources and other purposes of navigation, irrigation and domestic uses. A single river possess different name at different places, even a five or six km segment has a different name upstream or downstream. Also a single name is used for different rivers in different locations (Alam and Chowdhury, 2006). Bangladesh has vast inland open water (4024934 ha) which is contributing 35.53% of total fish capture.

The three sub-reaches selected for Project-2 of the FRERMIP physical works: JRB-1, JLB-2 and PBL-1, were chosen from 13 sub-reaches into which the FRERMIP program area was divided based on discussions among BWDB, ADB and the PPTA consultant. These 13 sub-reaches were evaluated using a multi-criteria assessment approach taking into consideration three primary criteria (riverbank erosion, flooding, and poverty) and several secondary criteria (related to planning, design, cost-benefit and safeguards issues). Of the six sub-reaches scoring highest1, these three sub-reaches were screened out due to a lack of active erosion and/or conflicts with other immediately planned interventions. 369. While riverbank protection was placed according to immediate needs especially for growth centers (“something to defend”), embankment construction considered alternatives especially for the area JLB-2.
