Preparation of Conservation Management Plan

A Conservation Management Plan is a principal guiding document for the conservation and management of ecosystems of special concern. The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) 2019 notification, issued under the Environment Protection Act, 1986 provides for delineating the ecologically sensitive areas under CRZ I and thus expand the areas under conservation. The CRZ Rules are crafted to create a balance between human development, recreation and conservation of the sensitive ecosystem that lies near the coast. These rules regulate the industrial activity near the coast for the conservation of ecosystems. It targets the management and conservation of marine and coastal ecosystems, development in coastal areas, eco-tourism, livelihood options and sustainable development of coastal communities etc.
