1.0 INTRODUCTION
Ministry of Environment and Forest, (MOEF) Government of India issued Notification under Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, on 19th February, 1991 declaring coastal stretches as Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) and Regulating activities in the CRZ area. As per this notification, all the coastal Stated of the country to submit Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) maps for approval to the ministry of Environment and Forest, Govt. of India. Accordingly, Department of Forest, Ecology & Environment, Govt. of Karnataka had submitted the CZMP maps to MOEF and presented to the task force members constituted for the said purpose by MOEF. Therein, the maps have been approved, vide letter No./17.011/41/95 dated: April 27th 1996 by the MOEF, Govt. of India subject to certain conditions.
2.0 CLASSIFICATION OF COASTAL REGULATION ZONES
For regulating developmental activities, the coastal stretched within 500 mtrs of high tide line on the landward side are classified into four categories, viz., CRZ – I, CRZ – II, CRZ – III and CRZ – IV category.
2.1 Category I (CRZ – I)
Areas that are ecologically sensitive and important, such as national parks / marine parks, sanctuaries, reserve forests, wildlife habitats, mangroves, corals / coral reefs, areas close to breeding and spawing grounds of fish and other marine life, areas of outstanding natural beauty / historically / heritage areas, areas rich in genetic diversity, areas likely to be inundated due to rise in sea level consequent upon global warming and such other areas as may be declared by the Central Government or the concerned authorities at the State / Union Territory level from time to time. Area between the Low Tide Line (LTL) and the High Tide Line (HTL).
2.2 Category II (CRZ – II)
The areas that have already been development upto or close to the shoreline. For this purpose, “ developed area” is referred to as that area within the municipal limits or in other legally designated urban areas which is already substantially built up and which has been provided with drainage and approach roads and other infrastructure facilities, such as water supply and sewerage mains.
2.3 Category III (CRZ III)
Areas that are relatively undisturbed and those which do not belong to either Category – I or II. These will include coastal zone in the rural areas (developed and undeveloped) and also areas within Municipal limits or in other legally designated urban areas, which are not substantially built up.
3.0 COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT PLAN MAPS OF KARNATAKA
The coastal zone of Karnataka which extend over 320 kms., has been studied in respect of its physical features, ecosystems, land use patterns, conceptual activities and other relevant parameters as notified by MOEF. The CRZ maps have been prepared on 1:25,000 scale using satellites data. Information like HTL, LTL, road, area under reserved forest and other topographical features were directly taken from Survey of India topographical maps. The toposheets wise CRZ maps are given in the report with a brief write up.
