The existing mangroves are sparse and short due to compacted substratum in the intertida! area. The length of the sparse intertidal mangrove is about 100 m on the route of the proposed pipeline. The proposed width of pipeline corridor is 45 m. Therefore, the total mangrove area that may be affected would be barely 0.45 ha. Pipeline will be laid on trestle to minimize the impact on local ecology. Hence, the expected impact on mangroves in particular would be temporary and it is likely that the mangroves would settle again after laying of pipeline over the intertidal zone is completed. lt may please be noted that the referred report was submitted to the GCZMA along the application for the CRZ clearance.
