Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu is located in the South East of India and lies at a mere 6.7m above mean sea level. Chennai is in a vulnerable location due to storm surges as well as tropical cyclones that bring about heavy rains and yearly floods. The 2004 Tsunami greatly affected the coast, and rapid urbanization, accompanied by the reduction in the natural drain capacity of the ground caused by encroachments on marshes, wetlands and other ecologically sensitive and permeable areas has contributed to repeat flood events in the city. Channelized rivers and canals contaminated through the presence of informal settlements and garbage has exasperated the situation. Natural and man-made water infrastructures that include, monsoon water harvesting and storage systems such as the Temple tanks and reservoirs have been polluted, and have fallen into disuse.

Pandya Dr. M. V. Ramana Murthy Prof. Dr. P.S.N.

This is with regard to an application for consideration of the Proposed Revised Master Plan Development of Kattupalli Port, by Marine Infrastructure Developer Private Limited (MIDPL) at Kattupalli, Tiruvallur District, Tamil Nadu, which is to be considered in the 38th EAC Meeting (CRZ- Infrastructure 2 Projects), on February 6, 2019. It is required of Project Proponents to consider alternate sites, when presenting a proposal. This has been enshrined in the MoEF’s guideline for a Project ​ ​ Feasibility Report, which requires it to detail ‘alternate sites to be considered, and the basis for choosing the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into it should be highlighted’. For the project in question though, alternate sites have not been considered. In fact, the consultant concedes that ‘no other site selection criterion has been considered’ for the project, since it is a strategic location with an existing draft, reliable power supply and allows for multimodal connectivity, among other things [3.1].

  • Ennore Port, 16 Km North of Chennai Port, Another Erosion Problem Was Emerged and Similar Issues Like Chennai Port Are on the Way
    i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The coastline of Chennai with a hinterland of 20km offer a variety of environmental issues and problems, which need integrated management. These include the coastal erosion and accretion, pollution from human settlement and industries, loss of aesthetics in tourism beaches and declining fishery resources. The ICMAM Project Directorate undertook the task of analysing above problems and prepared integrated management solutions, which will help to solve these problems and also avoidance of occurrence of such problems in future. It is well known that the shoreline along Chennai coast is subjected to oscillations due to natural and man made activities. After construction of Chennai port, coast north of port is eroded and 350 hectares land is lost into sea. The river Cooum that carries domestic sewage is closed due to accretion of sand south port. State Government resorted to short term measures for protecting coastal stretch of length 6 km at Royapuram with sea wall and the erosion problem shifted to further north. Now with the construction of Ennore port, 16 km North of Chennai port, another erosion problem was emerged and similar issues like Chennai port are on the way. If, no intervention is planned, threat to ecologically sensitive Pulicat Lake is inevitable. North Ennore Coast is already experiencing increased wave action and the naturally formed protection barriers, the “Ennore Shoals”, may likely to be disturbed by construction of Port. Baseline data reveal that the Ennore creek on south of Ennore port is experiencing increased siltation. Since the available information on Ennore coast is not sufficient for working out suitable measures, a research project entitled “Shoreline management along Ennore” has been formulated to conduct detailed field and model investigations on various dynamical aspects (water level variations, currents & circulation, tides, waves, bathymetric variations, sediment transport, shoreline changes etc) of Ennore coast covering Ennore creek to Pulicat mouth.

These are images from 21 October, 2017. Where the rest of the city is busy clearing up clogged waterways in preparation for the Northeast monsoon, Kamarajar Port is encroaching on what is left of Kosasthalai's backwaters secure in its impunity. We have already briefed you, via personal meetings, letters or phone conversations, about the illegal recommendation for clearance by the State Coastal Zone Management Authority for diversion of Kosasthalai River for construction of coal yards, warehouse zones and car parks by KPL. That clearance was aided by using a fraudulent map that denies the existence of Kosasthalaiyar north of the estuary - http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-nadu/2017/jul/25/illegal-map-used-to- clear-port-plan-in-ennore-creek-1633204.html The ongoing activity has been projected as part of Phase III Masterplan expansion and the application for CRZ clearance is pending pending at the Expert Appraisal Committee, MoEFCC.

This study discusses Remote Sensing and GIS based impact assessment on the coastal resources coupled with model simulation. The oil spill impact was estimated through spill simulation and incorporated environmental sensitivity index as level of concern to assess the impact. The best guess of the trajectory simulation was used to assess the spatial distribution and concentration of oil on the coastal region to notify the area and resources to analyze the impact of the spilled oil. Under the simulation of weathering process, it is estimated that 94% oil is stranded on the shoreline. S. Arockiaraj1*, Mary Angelin1, M. C. There has been attempt to document the oil on the water surface using remote John Milton1, G. Bhaskaran2 sensing data collected by Sentinel 1A, 2A and Landsat/OLI and trajectory of the released oil. Near real time detection of oil trajectory and quantification using 1PG & Research Department of remote sensing data help with possible oil landing information.

    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Pollution assessment of Ennore (India) creek using macrobenthos Usha Natesan1, S Kalaivani1, G Kalpana1,2 Natesan U, Kalaivani S, Kalpana G. Pollution assessment of Ennore density of Polycheates and Molluscs and vice versa during monsoon season. (India) Creek Using Macrobenthos. J Environ Geol. 2017;1(1):9-16. Salinity is also an important factor for macro fauna distribution and growth. Salinity is high during pre-monsoon and summer which resulted in high In the present study, the change in benthic community was identified in the production. From the Abundance and Biomass correlation it is inferred coastal stretch from Ennore to Pulicat, total of 6 stations were identified to that Station 2 and 4 are grossly polluted. Stations 1, 3 and 5 are moderately study benthic community. In order to understand the distribution of the polluted and Station 6 is less polluted. benthic community structure with respect to macro fauna in the Buckingham canal benthic were collected from all the stations during high tide on Spring Key Words: Macrobenthos, PRIMER, Ennore, Biomass, Abundance and tide of each month from September 2004 to December 2005 from bed and bio-env bank. Higher nutrient concentration during summer coincides with high ne of the crucial components to monitor the environmental health of an outlet for the excess water from the Poondi Reservoir. The Ennore Creek Oestuaries is by studying the benthic communities. In order to measure flows west to east, and opens into the Bay of Bengal at Ennore. Buckingham the extent and magnitude of pollution impacts in estuarine environments canal runs parallel to the east coast of India, form Kakinada in the north can be done by studying the community response in Macrobenthic (1-3).
