    ERR) Mongla Economic Zone

    Environment Review Report (ERR) Mongla Economic Zone. Introduction : The Bangladesh Economic Zone Authority (BEZA) is an agency of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) and is administered out of the Prime Minister's Office. The GoB is in the process of creation of Economic Zones (EZ) across the country for both export and local market oriented industries based on the cluster principle of the collection of industries, brought together geographically for the purpose of promoting economic development. Mongla Economic Zopne in Bagerhat is one of them. Drawing from numerous successful examples from around the world as well as Bangladesh‟s own positive experience with the EPZ model, GoB has launce an effort to develop a new EZ paradigm for Bangladesh based on good economic and social practices in their operation and commercial principles in their development and management. In doing so, the GoB is seeking to leverage its own resources through public-private partnership in the financing, developing, management and servicing of EZs. A key objective of EZs is to stimulate efficient use of skilled labor, land, infrastructure, energy and other resources as well as to facilitate backward, horizontal and forward linkage with local industries. It is expected that the EZs will trigger a significant flow of foreign and domestic investment leading to generation of an additional economic activity and creation of employment opportunities. The overall objective of the project is to develop BEZA in to a fully functional organization equipped with the rules and regulations needed to develop zones that will facilitate growth in investment in the emerging manufacturing and services sectors of the economy with the aim of generating employment.

    Past Management History of Mangrove Forests Of

    Indian Journal of Biological Sciences, 19 : 24 – 31, 2013 PAST MANAGEMENT HISTORY OF MANGROVE FORESTS OF SUNDARBANS Prasanta Kumar Pandit Conservator of Forests Administration, Publicity and Marketing, WB Aranya Bhaban, Block-LA-10A, Sector-III, Salt Lake City Kolkata, West Bengal, India E mail : [email protected] ABSTRACT Sundarban has a long history of management and conservation starting from Mauryan period (321-226 BC). During Gupta dynasty (320-415 AD) it was well managed. In Munhall period (1575-1765 AD) Sundarban was mainly managed for revenue generation.First survey of Sundarban was carried out by Britishers in between period 1769-1773. Britishers allowed clearance of forest until 1855 before the enactment of Forest Act. First management plan Sundarban was written in the year 1871 in which regulation on harvesting of Sundari (Heritiera fomes) was prescribed. Some part of Sundarban was declared as reserve forest in the year 1878.Initially forest of Sundarban was thought to be an inexhaustible resource but gradually thought it was not to be so. So different management plan recommended restriction and regulation on use of forest based resources. After 1878 different management plan was written before and after Independence of India with various recommendations for better management and protection of unique biodiversity of Sundarbans. Out of total area (10,260 sq km) approximately 40% area falls under India rest of the part belongs to Bangladesh after independence of India. Owing to global importance of Indian Sundarban it was declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in the year 1985 and Biosphere Reserve in the year 1989.

Position of Bangladesh in the World Map and in the Asia Map Bangladesh Topography of Bangladesh • Land elevation of 50% of the country is within 5 m of MSL - About 68% of the country is vulnerable to flood - 20-25% of the area is inundated during normal flood Bangladesh is the most disaster prone area in the world.

The Ganges, one of the largest river systems in the world, rises south of the main Himalayan and divides near Gangotri (elevation 4500 m) in Uttar Pradesh, India. The river divides into two channels below Farakka. The left main river enters Bangladesh and joins the Brahmaputra River at Goalundo. Shyamnagar, Satkhira is located at the south-western coastal region of Bangladesh and most of the rivers in this region receive flow mainly from the Ganges river system. After the construction of Farakka Dam, distributary rivers of the Ganges inside Bangladesh are slowly facing death for not receiving their winter flow. As a result freshwater source is decreasing and the salinity situation has been aggravated in the southwestern coastal region of Bangladesh. The major portion of the floodplain is low-lying, barely one meter above mean sea level and below high tide level. Moreover, people’s interest in shrimp culture has aggravated salinity in the region along with the climate change impacts. So, it is necessary to prepare a distinct and realistic water management plan for the south-western coastal region of Bangladesh.

Conductivity, TDS, major cations, major anions, alkalinity, pH and hardness were determined during September 2008 to July 2009 in four seasons at Sarankhola, Chandpai, Nalian and Burigualiny from Bhola, Passur, Sipsa and Khulpatua rivers respectively. There is wide temporal variation in conductivity (from 201 µS/cm to 43.7 mS/cm) and TDS (0.13 to 31.2 g/L) from the eastern to western Sundarbans suggests low flow of fresh water into the western Sundarbans. Variation in major cations Na+ (9225 to 25 mg/L), K+ (4 to 510 mg/L), Ca+2 (26 to 273 mg/l) and Mg+2 (5 to 869) and major anions Cl- (13 - -2 to 13471 mg/L), HCO3 (102 to 180 mg/L) and SO4 (9 to 1414 mg/L) were also observed. Alkalinity, pH and hardness were 90 to 224 mg CaCO3/L, 6.5 to 8.3 and 85 to 4235 mg CaCO3/L respectively. Data on DO, BOD, COD, nutrients and heavy metals during 2001-2009 were collected from secondary sources. Dissolved oxygen (4.9 to 6.9 mg/L) is within the Environmental Quality Standard (EQS) of Bangladesh.
