NDZ along Kerala coast will be significantly reduced giving room for constructions

Kochi:
The coastal belt of Kerala is likely to witness a flurry of construction activities which may further deteriorate the quality of the fragile ecosystem.

With the notification of the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) 2018, the No Development Zone (NDZ) along the Kerala coast will be significantly reduced giving room for constructions for tourism facilities towards the seaward side of the coast.

According to available information, the notification was approved by the Central government on Friday.

In CRZ 3A areas, which are the densely populated rural areas with a population density of 2,161 per square kilometre as per 2011 Census, the NDZ has been reduced to 50 metres from the High Tide Line against the earlier 200 metres. Of the 246 grama panchayats of Kerala, 244 fall under the CRZ 3A category.

In rural areas with population density of below 2,161 per square kilometre as per 2011, the NDZ will remain as 200 meters from the HTL.

The tourism sector stands to gain much from the amendments as temporary tourism facilities such as shacks, toilet blocks, change rooms, drinking water facilities are now permissible in the NDZ of the CRZ 3 and they can now set up such facilities from 10 m from the HTL.

Coastal ecosystem specialities and fishermen have already sounded caution against the proposals as they apprehended that the fragile coastal belt may be further battered by the construction boom. The new regulation has ignored the principles of conservation of coastal ecosystem and protection and protection of livelihood options of fishermen, they said.

According to B. Madhusoodana Kurup, a former Vice Chancellor of Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies, the new notification has undermined the very foundations of the CRZ regime.
