A Sea Change The Centre plans big changes in the coastal regulatory zone rules. Fishermen, green activists are up in arms
The Centre’s plan to relax the stringent Coastal Regulatory Zone (CRZ) rules, opening up the fragile inter-tidal and coastal areas to real estate and infrastructure development, have fishermen’s unions, coastal villagers and green activists up in arms.
The existing CRZ rules, notified in 2011, bar construction activity within 100 metres of the high tide line in densely populated zones and 200 metres in rural, low population areas. But amendments under Delhi’s consideration will reduce this to just 50 metres, while also relaxing the FSI (floor space index) norms for housing projects.
The draft CRZ Notification, 2018, published in April, also simplifies procedures for clearances. Under the new rules, mandatory clearances from the ministry of environment & forests (MoEF) will only be needed for projects within the 50 metre zone of the high tide line. State coastal zone management authorities (CZMAs) will be authorised to clear all other projects. Land reclamation for roads for strategic defence/ public utility projects will also be allowed.
