Shree, Vijay Kumar Member Secretary, Karnataka State Coastal Zone Date: To: Shree, Vijay Kumar Member Secretary, Karnataka State Coastal Zone Management Authority Department of Ecology and Environment, Room No: 710, 7th Floor, IV – Gate MS Buliding, Bangalore – 560001 From: Dr. MahabaleshwarHegde Centre for Policy Research – Namati Environmental Justice Program C/o Snehakunja Trust, Kasarkod, Honavar Uttara Kannada, 581 342 Karnataka Ref: KSCZMA, Notification No: FEE 289 CRZ 2017 dated 07-09-2017 Subject: Submission of comments on Draft CZMP maps and requesting to incorporate the changes suggested. Respected Sir, This is with reference to the Notification issued by the Karnataka State Coastal Zone Management Authority (KSCZMA) on 07-08-2017 regarding the Publication of draft of Karnataka State Coastal Zone Management Plan inviting suggestions objections comment from stake holders and public. We have included below three kinds of suggestions for your consideration. These relate to potential violations of the CRZ notification in the CZMP process; inaccuracies in the CZMPs and the inadequate process of public consultation. We are from Centre for Policy Research working in Environment Justice Program along Uttara Kannada coast. Our program workslegal empowerment of fishermen and coastal communities along the Uttara Kannada coast and we are working towards the implementation of CRZ law for the welfare of coastal communities.. We would like to convey our gratitude for initiating the preparation of CZMP maps. We believe updated version of CZMP maps after 2011 CRZ Notification is very important since HTL and Hazard lines have been changed from last two decades. Further, CZMP maps with ecological sensitive areas are essential for coastal conservation. We have seen all the maps and are well prepared as compare the earlier maps containing most of information as per the CRZ Notification 2011. However, we have noticed that few important clauses of the Notification were not considered in preparing draft CZMPs and also several technical and factual inaccuracies in the draft maps were noticed in the same. In this regard to fulfill the sole purpose of CRZ Notification which is conservation of coastal ecology and livelihood security of coastal communities there are few concerns which we would like to convey to you. A. Process of Community Consultations and Involvement 1. The CRZ Notification, 2011 states that local communities shall be involved in preparation of CZMP (Clause 5. VI :The coastal States and Union Territory will prepare within a period of twenty four months from the date of issue this notification, draft CZMPs in 1:25,000 scale map identifying and classifying the CRZ areas within the respective territories in accordance with the guidelines given in Annexure-I of the notification, which involve public consultation). Comment: We have noticed in the Notification No: FEE 289 CRZ 2017 issued on 07-09- 2017 it is not mentioned about the public consultation and from the 65 villages we work on we got to know that public consultation was not carried out in any of those villages. In view of this we kindly request you to conduct public consultation block level/village level before finalizing the final CZMP. B. Violation of CRZ Notification: 2. The CRZ Notification, 2011, (Clause 1, ii) states that CRZ shall apply to the land area between HTL to 100 mts or width of the creek whichever is less on the landward side along the tidal influenced water bodies that are connected to the sea and the distance upto which development along such tidal influenced water bodies is to be regulated shall be governed by the distance upto which the tidal effects are experienced which shall be determined based on salinity concentration of 5 parts per thousand (ppt) measured during the driest period of the year and distance upto which tidal effects are experienced shall be clearly identified and demarcated accordingly in the Coastal Zone Management Plans (hereinafter referred to as the CZMPs). Comment: We have noticed all the maps and nowhere the 5 ppt line has been marked in the tidal influenced water bodies. It is very important to understand the extent of CRZ areas in the landward side. 3. The CRZ Notification, 2011, Annexture I, D (ii) 5 it states that, the hazard line to be drawn up by MoEF shall be superimposed on the CZM maps in 1:25,000 scale and also on the cadastral scale maps. Comments: The Hazard line was not drawn in any of the draft maps which shall be marked as per the CRZ Notification, 2011. 4. The 12 nautical mile line in sea to demarcate the CRZ- IV is not marked in any of the maps. C. Technical and Factual inaccuracies in the maps: We have also identified several inaccuracies in map related to marking of zonations, survey number, ecological sensitive areas which are listed below according to sheet number. We believe that several of these could have been avoided had the villagers themselves been involved in the CZMP preparation. In Sheet no: NCSCM/D4316/SW which covers Gangavali and Aghanashini estuary, includes villages such as Gokarna, Tadadi, Aghananshini, Kagak. 1. NDZ line is marked in sea which creates confusion in communities live in that area. 2. Large sand dunes present near Tadadi andKagal, is not mentioned in the map. 3.

Mention of survey numbers in sea and estuary creates confusion among the villagers live in that area. Further, the land is under dispute between port department and fishermen regarding the common use. 4. River erosion also changes the HTL and LTL in this area but maps shows the previous HTL and LTL only. New HTL and LTL shall be updated before finalization of maps. 5. Survey numbers of Kasarkod Tonka 1 and Tonka 2 village is completely missing. There are more than 1000 households living in these two villages. 6. Entire Maki village is missing in Map, the name of Manki village and survey numbers are not mentioned in the map. 7. Survey Numbers in Entire Haladipur to Karki beach area survey numbers are missing. Other than the above points, we have noticed: • several landmarks, common use of lands, ecological sensitive areas such as mangroves, mudflats, sand dunes are missing in Sheet number – NCSCM/D4311/SE, NCSCM/D4311/SW also.

  • Development of Sea Port at Tadadi, Karnataka
    DEVELOPMENT OF SEA PORT AT TADADI, KARNATAKA Karnataka, India - A Profile Karnataka, a State in the south of India, has been a pioneer state in industry with a distinction of a strong and vibrant industrial base. Karnataka is targeting an industrial growth rate of 12% per annum, with an increased emphasis on the expansion and growth of infrastructure sectors through private sector participation. Since ports are the trade gateways for a state, their ability to meet the increasing demands of a rapidly growing economy is crucial for addressing the rising import and export traffic. Currently there is one major port and two non-major ports that are operational in Karnataka. The major port at Mangalore, namely, New Mangalore Port Trust, currently caters to the cargo requirements of the southern districts of the state. Need for a Port on the West Coast Belekeri Tadadi The northern districts of the state, especially the Bellary–Hospet region produce large quantities of iron ore. The export potential of iron ore from this region is estimated at 30 million tones in 2010. Part of this iron ore is exported through the two non-major ports namely Karwar and Belekeri. However, bigger vessels cannot operate at these ports as the draft available is less. Further the capacity at these ports is also not adequate to cater to the iron ore export demand of this region. Thus, a port developed in the northern coastline of the state would cater to the districts of North Karnataka especially the iron-ore belt in Bellary - Hospet, thereby significantly improving the industrial advantage of the region.

Tain temple and deity is Lord Shiva, who is also known as Gokarna, India 2 Mahabhaleshwara. This temple houses what is believed to be original image of Lord Shiva's lingam. There are many other temples all over this small town. Ankola and Kumta on Highway 17 are the main towns near Gokarna. Gokarna is historically known as one of the seven important Hindu pilgrimage centers and is located on what was once unspoiled beach near the estuary of river Aghanashini with its palm trees, other colorful tropical fruit and flower trees. Of late due to the numbers of tourists the character of this town has changed. This town is no longer just a center of pilgrimage though massive numbers of devotees still visit the town for the purposes of offering prayers and worship to Lord Shiva. Due to its laid back unspoiled and rustic nature, many younger western tourists started visiting Gokarna about a decade ago.

Gross Domestic Product. Provisioning Services. Regulating Services ABSTRACT Valuation through the quantification goods and services aids in the wise use and prudent management of an estuarine ecosystem. The present study focusses on the valuation of goods and services from an estuary at Aghanashini, Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka. The provisioning services provided by this estuary is about 11,35,847 Rs/hectare/year, which highlights the significance of an estuarine ecosystem in sustaining livelihood of 6000 - 7500 families. The total economic value (provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural services) of Aghanashini is 5 million Rs/hectare/year. This highlights the contributions by estuarine ecosystems in sustaining the economy of the district while supporting people’s livelihood. Quantification of ecosystem benefits would help in evolving appropriate strategies with the managerial decisions. This also emphasizes the need for green gross domestic product through incorporation of values of the natural goods in the national and regional accounting to ensure the sustainability of natural resources such as water, energy, land, etc.

Five of the seven known Euphlyctis species are found within the Indian subcontinent. Here, we describe a new species, Euphlyctis karaavali sp. nov. from South-west coast of India, which was discovered during surveys engaging citizens. This species was identified to be distinct based on molecular and morphological evidence. We provide a detailed description of this species along with its call description and compare it with closest congeners. Previous studies in the region had identified this species as E. hexadactylus but suggested the possibility of it being cryptic.
