The state government has observed that ground thruthing, ground verification of high tide line (HTL) and survey map is not being carried out by the National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM) while preparing the Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP).

The presentation of the preliminary draft of CZMP was given to state government departments. CZMP maps were also presented to government officials for viewing. The maps was shown with geo-referenced satellite imagery. It was decided to view the coastal villages from Keri to Loliem and accordingly, the coastal villages along the Arabian Sea were scrutinized.

The directorate of settlement and land records observed that missing data of survey maps was seen in many villages; for example, Gonsua, Keri, Tiracol, Mandrem and Morjim.


The report also said that uniform marking of non-development zones (NDZ) was not done along the sea coast especially in areas where traditional monsoon water drains merged with the sea.
