THE Union government has proposed to amend the Coastal Aquaculture Authority (CAA) Act, and one of the key changes mooted is exempting shrimp hatcheries from the purview of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) notification and allow them to operate within the "no-development zone". The amendment Bill, put up for public comments in August, is likely to be tabled during the next parliamentary session.
This development gains significance because only recently, the southern bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) ordered the demolition of all hatcheries within the no-development zone, which is 200 metres from the high tide line (HTL) towards the landward side. The tribunal also directed all hatcheries to obtain CRZ clearance and consent from the TN Pollution Control Board.
