CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
Preface
The Coastal Zone Management Plan 2019 (CZMP 2019) is an essential document for the
implementation of Coastal Regulation Zone 2019 (CRZ 2019) notification. Almost all the
developmental and conservation activities in the coastal zone will have to follow the CZMP.
Upholding the concept that the coastal zone is primarily for the use of fishers and other coastal
communities, the CRZ notification restricts or prohibits those activities which do not require shore
frontage. It provides for conserving coastal ecosystems and morphology, facilitating sustainable
development and reducing the impacts of coastal hazards and sea level rise. Still, the coastal
communities felt that many of their traditional and customary rights like construction of dwelling
units in their traditional settlement areas and livelihood related activities are denied or strictly
controlled, which they demanded to be restored. They wanted the issues related to CZMP 2019 to
be discussed before finalising the draft CZMP 2019. Considering this request, the Hon’ble Minister
for Fisheries, Government of Kerala constituted a Technical Committee to address these issues and
prepare an Integrated Fisheries Development Plan (IFDP) to be incorporated in the CZMP. Such an
integrated plan will also has its futuristic value as Article 10 in the Code of Conduct for Responsible
Fisheries proposed by FAO demands such integration so that interactions between the fisheries
sector and other sectors can be taken into account in the establishment of management policy and
practice with regard to coastal resources, besides catering the needs for blue growth.
The Committee evaluated the draft CZMP and CRZ 2019 from a fisher and other coastal
communities’ perspective, emphasising that the fisher community belongs to ecosystem people
whose life and livelihood are inseparably linked with the coastal zone and coastal waters. It was
observed that a proper interpretation of CRZ and appropriate inclusion of the fisher oriented
components in the CZMP would address the settlement and livelihood related issues. Specific
recommendations are made on CRZ categorisation, demarcation of critical zones like the beach,
settlement areas, turtle nesting grounds, fishing zones, and fishery infrastructure zones. Framework
of settlement plan, Pokkali/Kaipad management plan and community linked tourism plan are also
part of the IFDP. The Committee has made efforts to see that the proposed recommendations are
within the provisions in the CRZ 2019 notification.
The initiative taken by the Hon’ble Minister for Fisheries Sri. Saji Cherian to address the concerns
of the fishers and other coastal communities is well appreciated and the Committee is grateful to
him for the helpful guidance in formulating the recommendations. The Secretary, Fisheries has been
keenly following the functioning of the Committee and provided timely and valuable advice. The
Director of Fisheries extended all the necessary support to the Committee. The District Officers of
Fisheries Department took all the efforts to provide field data. The different trade unions and
organisations from the fisheries sector have given specific and very relevant comments on IFDP and
draft CZMP in the meeting convened by the Hon’ble Minister. We also acknowledge KCZMA for
the positive response and valuable suggestions on the draft IFDP.
The report is a collective effort of the Committee. All the members of the Committee provided the
necessary input in time, which helped in bringing out the report on time.

1. INTRODUCTION
Kerala has a coastline of 590 kilometers, which forms 10% of India’s total coastline and
the marine waters have always influenced the people of this small state in varied ways of
commercial fishing, transport, tourism etc. Having a continental shelf area of 38700 square
kilometers, exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 218536 Sq Km, Kerala has a significant marine
fisheries sector that has long been an important source of occupation and livelihood for the
coastal population of the state besides contributing to the food and nutritional security of the
state. It is estimated that about 8 lakh people earn their livelihood from capture and allied works
in marine fisheries, living in the 222 fishing villages situated along the coastline of the state. In
addition to this, the state is blessed with 41 rivers draining into the Arabian sea through 27
estuaries, 51 backwaters having area of more than 46000 hectares, more than 65000 hectares of
brackish water 47 reservoirs, 9 fresh water lakes, and a number of ponds, irrigation tanks,
streams etc. which contribute a rich resource of inland fish production which also support
livelihood of more than 2 lakhs inland fishermen living in 113 inland fishing villages and
thousands of fish farmers. Kerala fisheries sector contributes around 1.80% to the total GDP and
its contribution to primary sector is about 14%. Export of marine products has set an ever time
record of Rs 5919.02 Crores during the year 2017-18.
Any regulation which influence the livelihood of the coastal population especially
fishermen has to consider the essential elements of their living like fishing, housing and
associated infrastructure for landing their catch, coastal protection, coastal social infrastructure
like roads, schools, hospitals, fish processing units, marketing infrastructure, etc. Along with
marine capture fisheries, aquaculture is also growing fast and is widely promoted by both state
and central governments to ensure the food/nutritional security of the country and to increase
employment opportunities in coming years. Sustainability of fisheries in both marine and inland
waters is also crucial while formulating any regulation and management plan to such areas.
Coastal Regulation Zone Notifications by MoEF & CC issued originally in 1991 and
subsequently reissued in 2011 and 2019 very well consider various aspects of the management
of ecologically important coastal areas for its sustainable development quoted as “ with a view
5|P a ge

to conserve and protect the unique environment of coastal stretches and marine areas,
besides livelihood security to the fisher communities and other local communities in the
coastal areas and to promote sustainable development based on scientific principles”.
Department of Fisheries, Kerala with its vision for “Sustainable utilization and
development of fisheries sector, both marine and inland aiming to the economic growth, food &
nutritional security and for socio-economic development of fisher folk”, implement various
schemes and projects for the welfare of fishermen and fish farmers. As per CRZ notification,
2019, a draft Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) has been circulated to various
departments/agencies including this department for giving inputs for inclusion in CZMP.
Fisheries Department has constituted a Committee; vide G.O. (Rt.) No. 290/2021/F&PD dated
11.06.2021 (Annexure – I) to formulate the requirements of the Department from fisheries
perspective. The department’s view is forwarded after considering the Committee’s
recommendations.
The draft CZMP has been prepared for each district. It consists of land use maps,
Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) maps and a report of which the latter two are received
in the Department. The land use maps provide information on landforms such as filtration
ponds, beaches, water bodies, etc. Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) like mangroves,
turtle breeding grounds, etc., infrastructure and settlements. The CZMP map is based on the
land use maps. It gives spatial distribution of CRZ and associated details in map form. The
report gives descriptive details on various aspects such as methodology, CRZ categories,
various reference and regulation lines, etc.
The coastal areas including the banks of estuaries and backwaters where CRZ
regulations are applicable are spread over 10 districts – Kasaragod, Kannur, Kozhikkode,
Malappuram, Thrissur, Ernakulam, Alappuzha, Kollam, Thiruvananthapuram and Kottayam.
The CZMP now circulated gives the CZMP maps and reports for each of the 10 districts. The
CZMP is contained in 87 maps in 1:25,000 scale. There are 245 coastal gram panchayats, 36
coastal municipalities and 5 coastal municipal corporations where CRZ regulations are
applicable. The CZMP maps consists of HTL, LTL, various regulation lines (20 m, 50 m, 100
m, 200 m and 500 m from HTL, hazard line, buffer zone for mangroves, CRZ-IA (ESAs -
6|P a ge

mostly mangroves, turtle breeding grounds) , CRZ IB (inter tidal zones), CRZ-II (CRZ areas in
developed areas where the built up area is more than 50%), CRZ-IIIA (CRZ areas in
undeveloped areas such as gram panchayats with density of population > 2161), CRZ-IIIB
(CRZ areas in undeveloped areas such as gram panchayats with density of population < 2161),
CRZ-IVA (sea and bed up to 12 nm - Territorial waters), CRZ IVB (inland water bodies having
a minimum of 5 ppt. salinity) and CRZ regulation lines. Tourism plan is also attached to each of
the district CZMPs circulated.
The Committee went through the draft CZMP 2019 from the fisheries and fishers
perspective to prepare an Integrated Fisheries Development Plan within the framework of CRZ
2019. This has been addressed under different sectors like Fishermen as Ecosystem people,
Housing and Rehabilitation, Social and Fisheries infrastructure development, Fisheries
development, Aquaculture development, Tourism and Fisheries, Ecologically
sensitive/protected areas, Coastal work spaces (Thozhilidangal), Coastal protection, Climatic
change, mitigation and adaptation, Blue economy and marine spatial planning, and fisheries
management and Expected inter sectoral conflicts/overlaps.
There is an umbilical cord relationship between the fisher community and coastal
ecosystem consisting of the fishermen settlement areas, beach, coastal waters, backwaters and
pokkali fields. Their livelihood activities are traditionally and culturally dependent on each and
every sector of the coastal ecosystem and their settlement is also a part of the coastal ecosystem.
The fishermen are ‘ecosystem people’ in which the people and the ecosystem are inseparable
from each other. Due to the peculiar coastal geomorphological set up of the coast zone of Kerala
is too narrow and in many places these are barrier systems between the backwater and the sea
holding dense population of fishers. This narrow coastal stretch is further squeezed due to
coastal erosion. The occupational, demographic and social set up confines the fisher settlement
close to the shore line. The livelihood interaction of local communities with coastal ecosystems
continues throughout the year which necessitates close proximity to the system. Fishermen
settlements are generally within 500 m with maximum density within 200m from the high tide
line. Immediately landward of fisher settlements, normally non fisher people with entirely
different cultural and occupational nature resides. In all respects the fishing community is thus
7|P a ge
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
confined and squeezed within a narrow stretch due to traditional and historical reasons. Similar
situation prevails along pokkali fields which are bounded by narrow bunds where fishermen
also live. Strengthening of bunds, making sluices, allowing entry of wild seeds of prawns and
fishes during flood tides, trapping them inside with sluice nets, keeping vigil of the trapped
seeds, filtration at regular intervals for harvesting, etc. compel the inhabitants to be present
always in the pokkali wetland system. Immediately on completion of fish farming, they are fully
involved in pokkali rice cultivation. Construction and strengthening of bunds prior to the
monsoon, desalination of the fields, germination and replanting, keeping vigil against breaking
of bunds once monsoon flooding starts, keeping vigil on diseases and pests, harvesting at the
right time, etc. again pin them down to the pokkali wetland system.
The main concept behind CRZ notification is to reduce unnecessary rush to the coastal
are a close to the shoreline by restricting activities which do not require shore frontage. The
restrictions on construction of dwelling units in the No Development Zone (NDZ) and CRZ
reflect the above concept inbuilt in the notification. Construction of dwelling units is restricted
and regulated in the NDZ and other CRZ region in CRZ III which consist of coastal panchayats
other than CRZ I where it is prohibited. The result is that traditional coastal inhabitants
including fishermen who are ecosystem people could not construct dwelling units in the NDZ of
200 m (from High Tide Line) in CRZ III B and NDZ of 50 m. in CRZ III A along the seacoast,
100/ 50 m along backwater banks and 50/ 20 m in backwater islands. Being ecosystem people
the fisher folk felt this restriction as an impingement on their traditional and customary rights.
People other than local inhabitants and fishermen are prohibited from constructing dwelling
units in the CRZ except in CRZ II as a precautionary measure to prevent people having no stake
in the coastal zone encroaching into fishermen space. Heeding to the request of the fishermen
community the CRZ 2019 notification restored fishermen right to construct houses even in NDZ
by introducing a clause through para 5.3 (ii) (a) that allows ‘construction and reconstruction of
dwelling units of traditional coastal communities including fisher folk, incorporating necessary
disaster management provisions and proper sanitation arrangements’.
8|P a ge

The notification also reduces NDZ to 50 m for CRZ IIIA (areas where density of
population is more than 2161) along sea coast and along the banks of backwaters. The CRZ and
NDZ are also reduced to 50 m and 20 m in backwater banks and backwater islands respectively.
On verifying the draft CZMP 2019, it was observed that the density of population for
identifying CRZ IIIA has been carried out by taking the entire village area as against the
provision in the notification to consider the CRZ III area. By definition CRZ III covers only
land part. Village area consists of CRZ I, CRZ II, CRZ III and CRZ IV. It is recommended that
the Environment and Climate Change Department (DoECC) may follow the direction in the
Notification to consider CRZ III area (land part) alone for computation of density of population
which may bring many more Grama Panchayats under CRZ IIIA. Accordingly, the NDZ will be
reduced to 50 m in these panchayats also. Panchayati Raj system being very strong in Kerala it
is also recommended that all the computations and other depictions in the CZMP may also be
based on Panchayat, Municipality and Corporations which is imperative in the wake of 73 rd and
74th Constitution amendment. A model computation has been done for Arattupuzha panchayat
in Alappuzha district and attached. It is recommended that the DoECC may revisit the
categorization of CRZ IIIA and CRZ IIIB by recalculating the density of population taking the
land area of CRZ III for the purpose. The DoECC/ KCZMA may also provide guidelines for
construction of dwelling units in the NDZ in association with different departments and expert
organisations.
In the CRZ 2019, Annexure IV under Guidelines for preparation of Coastal Zone
Management Plans, in para 5(iii) the State govt. is directed to prepare ‘detailed plans for long
term housing needs of coastal fishing communities in view of expansion and other needs,
provisions for basic services, including sanitation, safety and disaster preparedness’. This
approach is expected to provide safe, hygienic, clean and environment friendly settlement
regions for the coastal community taking into consideration their occupational needs also. This
has not been properly projected in the draft CZMP 2019. This has to be done preferably for
fishing villages by the concerned LSGIs with the support of different departments including
Environment and Climate Change, Town Planning and Fisheries, and in consultation with the
coastal communities. The settlement plan should have a strong empirical foundation provided
through rigorous compilation and analysis of baseline data. Location of safe area for housing
cluster development, rehabilitation plan for rehabilitating those living very near seashore and

susceptible to hazard from sea, strategies for coastal protection have to be ensured. A stock
assessment survey has to be done on all infrastructure items followed with Needs Assessment
Survey. Settlement plan has to be prepared with identified parameters taking into account of the
stock assessment survey and needs assessment survey.
A model draft settlement plan prepared for Arattupuzha panchayat is attached for
reference as Annexure - II. Coastal areas like Arattupuzha are barrier beaches which are highly
prone and vulnerable to climate change impacts and sea level rise similar to many barrier coasts
along the Kerala coast. Any management plan for such coast should take into account of the
climate change impacts and sea level rise. It is recommended that such settlement plans may be
prepared for all marine and inland fishing villages in the State as part of CZMP 2019.
The urbanization pattern for the State in 2011 shows around 50% urbanization and this
urbanization trend is more concentrated on the coastal areas (Annexure-III). The developed
areas within legally designated urban areas are categorized as CRZ II provided that the area is
substantially built up so that the ratio of built up plots to that of total plots being more than 50%
and have been provided with drainage and approach roads and other infrastructure facilities. It
seems that the present draft CZMP 2019 has not verified this condition. An assessment of urban
status may be reworked. The spirit of the CRZ notification is to reduce the pressure on the
coastal zone by avoiding activities which do not require shore frontage and people who do not
belong to coastal systems. This may be considered while suggesting CRZ categorization.

The CRZ 2019 notification permits almost all infrastructure facilities which require
shore frontage like port and harbor, jetty, quay, wharf, erosion control measure, breakwater,
pipelines, lighthouse, coastal police stations, etc. Social infrastructure like dispensaries, schools,
public rain shelter, community toilets, bridges, roads, water supply facilities, drainage,
sewerage, crematorium, cemeteries, and electric sub stations which are required for local
inhabitants are permissible in CRZ III, even in its NDZ. Similarly, fishermen specific facilities
like fish drying yards, net mending yards, traditional boat building yards, ice plant, ice crushing
unit, fish curing facilities and the like are permissible. If a national or state highway passes
through the NDZ, temporary tourism facilities are allowed even on the seaward side of the road.
In such cases tourism resorts though not belonging to fisheries infrastructure, are permissible
landward of national or state highway subject to conditions.
List of existing, under construction and proposed fishing harbours and fish landing
centres in the State is given in Annexure IV (A and B). Considering the adverse impacts on the
adjoining shoreline, it is recommended that any new harbor construction may look for designs
which may allow sand by-passing and minimize the erosion on the down drift side of the harbor
breakwaters. It is also appropriate to have a fresh assessment on the need for developing new
fishing harbours other than the existing and those for which work has been initiated.
Considering the adverse impact on adjoining shoreline and fishing practices, strong opinion was
expressed against new fishing harbours by many stakeholders participated in the stakeholder
consultation, where as demand is more for modernization of existing harbour.
Fishing community in the State is a very distinct group of people geographically located
in the coastal zone and solely dependent on the sea for their livelihood. Their way of life and
culture are centred around fisheries and distinctly different from others. They have a special
relationship with the coast, sea and the environment. Their livelihood activity is associated with
catching of fish, processing and marketing. These three sectors of activity may be considered
when their livelihood requirements are addressed. Different fisheries development zones
discussed below are listed in annexures attached to the IFDP report. These may be included in
the CZMP.

CRZ (2011) Notification (para 7 (V) A (ii)) has approved a special status for Kerala
coastal zone as “areas requiring special consideration for the purpose of protecting the critical
coastal environment and difficulties faced by local communities”. It also considers the fisher
people are confined to a very narrow stretch of 50 to 100m from the High Tide Line (HTL) as
those belong to ‘ecosystem people’ who require the coastal zone for their settlement
requirements and livelihood related activities. The Coastal Zone Management Plan of Kerala
(CZMP) (As per CRZ Notification 2011), also reaffirm that “considering the livelihood
requirements of the ecosystem people, the high density of coastal population, unique style of
their livelihood activities, the CZMP has to project the various requirements to address the
difficulties faced by local communities”.
In order to reaffirm the commitment, the settlement areas of the fishermen along the
Kerala coast should be kept apart from the tourism and other commercial development activities
and the details of such places are given as Annexure-V A and B
The ‘thozhildangal’ (fishing zones) at the coast utilized by the fisher community for
securing their livelihood activities should be demarked for the same and protected from other
developmental activities. The details of ‘thozhildangal’ is given as Annexure-VI.
The coastal and marine ecosystems in Kerala are quite diverse, providing a wide array of
ecosystem services, besides ensuring sustainable supply of fishery resources. The state has a
590 km coastal belt extending over nine coastal districts, and around 1.1 million people of the
state are dependent on the fisheries industry, which contributes 3% of the state's income.
Coastal Kerala is bestowed with a vast network of backwaters, lagoons, natural lakes, rivers and
canals. These habitats are also rich in biodiversity, including that of threatened species and
species protected under the Wildlife (Protection) Act of India. Kadalundi-Vallikunnu
Community Reserve is the only marine protected area officially declared (Map with geographic
co-ordinates attached as Annexure VII). However, there are several fish protected area, clam
protected area, fish sanctuary in the inland waters, likewise, the artificial reef and natural
12 | P a g e

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
breeding ground of the fish in marine waters also need to be protected and its details are given
as Annexure-VIII and IX.
There are also several initiatives taken by the local community in protecting the Olive
Ridley Turtles and mangroves, all along the Kerala coast. All these initiatives for protection will
provide protection for a variety of threatened species, besides offering natural protection to a
variety of coastal habitats, which harbour several threatened species, from anthropogenic
interventions. These areas are classified under CRZ IA (areas that are ecologically sensitive and
the geomorphological features), which play a role in the maintaining the integrity of the coast.
In Kerala coast, such ecologically sensitive areas include mangroves, corals (scattered and
patchy corals only), Sand Dunes, community reserves, fish sanctuaries, and turtle nesting
grounds.
Sea turtles are one of the ancient marine reptiles, with over 150 million years of
evolutionary history. These air-breathing migratory reptiles spend most of their lives at sea.
During the breeding/nesting seasons, both sexes typically aggregate in the waters close to the
nesting beaches, and the females lay their eggs on land, typically on sandy beaches. These areas,
where they lay eggs are called turtle nesting grounds. All the sea turtles are threatened and are
under a series of threats in Indian coast, including loss of nesting beaches due to increase in
built-up areas and hard coastal protection structures; illumination on the coast from industries,
resorts and settlements; plantations on the coast such as Casuarina; and garbage and pollution of
nesting beaches and offshore waters.
Of the seven different species of sea turtles distributed in world oceans, five species occur in
Indian waters and four species have been recorded from Kerala coast, which include green sea
turtle, olive ridley sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, and leatherback sea turtle.
1. Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas): listed as endangered by the IUCN and in
Appendix I of CITES; included in Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act of India
(Family: Cheloniidae)
2. Olive Ridley Sea Turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea): listed as vulnerable by the IUCN and
in Appendix Iof CITES; included in Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act of India.
(Family: Cheloniidae)

The detailed list of turtle nesting sites (based on the historical data from 2003), compiled
from various sources and direct observation are given in Table 1. In the last few years there
have been a declining number of turtle nesting records in Kerala coast, primarily due to the loss
of beaches due to coastal erosion. However, on the positive side, there have been several
initiatives in Kerala coast for conserving the turtle nesting grounds with people’s involvement.
In many coastal areas, fishing communities are also involved in the protection of turtle nesting
sites.

Marine spatial planning (MSP) seeks to reduce conflicts and environmental impacts, and
promote sustainable use of marine ecosystems. MSP is a place-based, multi-sectoral decision-
making approach that is being widely promoted for reducing the conflicts and impacts
commonly encountered in conventional sector-by-sector planning. This approach would
determine how to achieve target levels of ocean area for particular uses while minimizing costs
and impacts, but they do not provide a framework that derives analytical solutions in order to
co-ordinate siting of multiple uses while balancing the effects of planning on each sector in the
system. For the development of fisheries sector, this will provide a framework for guiding
offshore aquaculture (bivalve, finfish, and seaweed farming) development in relation to existing
sectors and environmental concerns (wild-capture fisheries, aesthetic quality, pollution, etc.) in
the area. Therefore, this report propose the need for ecosystem-based approaches to planning
that can strategically and comprehensively balance the location, type, and intensity of ocean
user groups, or sectors, across the seascape, through MSP. This also requires marking potential
breeding areas of commercial fishery resources within 12 nautical miles of the sea, as envisaged
in CZMP. The fishery related spatial zones thus marked may be included in the CZMP when
these are prepared and made available.
In order to keep the fish in good condition ice is required. There are 71 working ice
plants within the CRZ of the State and the details are given as annexure. The head of the fish
along with viscera has to be removed as soon as the catch landed at the shore to enhance the
onset of period needed for the commencement of spoilage. There are 258 peeling sheds
functioning within the CRZ and the details are given as Annexure- X. The fish processing units
18 | P a g e

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
may be freezing plant, drying unit or curing yard. The Fisheries department has to make
guidelines regarding setting up and maintenance of peeling sheds, ice plants, fish processing
units in the CRZ, especially in the NDZ, so that permanent hard structures are not constructed in
the beach, pollution is controlled and ground water use is regulated. There are 38 fish
processing units operating within the CRZ of the State and its list is given as Annexure-XI (A
and B).
The growing demand for fishery products in the State necessitates expanding
aquaculture operations, especially in the coastal areas, by fully exploring the potential of coastal
aquaculture to enhance the fish production. It provides alternate livelihood to the coastal
fishermen, who face several challenges to their livelihood issues due to resource depletion and
climate change. As per Coastal Aquaculture Authority Act 2005, all the aquaculture and
connected activities within the CRZ area are regulated by the Act. The Act provides for
regulation of coastal aquaculture by prescribing guidelines, to ensure that coastal aquaculture
does not cause any detriment to the coastal environment and the concept of responsible coastal
aquaculture is followed in regulating coastal aquaculture activities to protect the livelihood of
various sections of people living in the coastal areas.
Aquaculture in the State is still in its juvenile stage contributing a production of only
34,987 mt during the year 2020-21. The potential of having large number of lagoons, estuaries
and backwaters covering almost the entire coast has to be ustilised for aquaculture in a
sustainable way. As an alternative livelihood opportunity to the deprived inland fishermen, cage
farming was introduced during 2008 in the State. Kerala is the foremost state in bivalve farming
which includes the farming of Mussel and Oyster. Despite the enormous potential, coastal
aquaculture has not yet developed into a major commercial enterprise and contributor to
19 | P a g e

fisheries production in the State. The fisheries department have initiated several proactive steps
to boost up production, which include cage culture of fish and bivalve farming in brackishwater
bodies, farming of fin fish and shell fish in brackishwater ponds.

Kerala is one among the major tourist destinations for beach and backwater tourism.
Even though the beaches and backwaters are the main tourist attractions, the participation of the
fisherfolk and other traditional communities is negligible. It may be noticed that their traditional
livelihood activity is facing challenges, non-fishing days are increasing due to extreme climatic
conditions. Beaches are their dwelling place having traditional and customary rights. Still they
are marginalised from the fast growing tourism economic activity. There are ample
opportunities in the coastal area tourism sector for involving the local fisherfolk for additional
and alternate livelihood. It needs a different approach of inclusiveness and it should be eco
system-based and natural resource based.
Inclusiveness of the local fisher folk families and other traditional communities will be
the focus of a fisher perspective coastal tourism. It has to be a livelihood diversification for
sustainable income generation for the marginalised traditional coastal communities who are
ecosystem people. It should be a community collective activity and strengthening of the local
economy which should help to reduce the pressure on marine fisheries which is the main source
of livelihood. There should be priority for the involvement of women and educated youth from
the local community. The concept of community tourism should be based on safe and
affordable tourism options. All the local livelihood areas have to be identified and marked so
that others would not encroach into fishers livelihood areas.
Various coastal tourism activities such as Beach tourism, Aqua tourism, Heritage
tourism, Cruise tourism, Pilgrimage tourism, Event tourism and Pesca tourism componetns may
be planned for different CRZ categories such as CRZ I, CRZ II, CRZ III, CRZ IV, and
pokkali/kaipad regions within the framework of ecotourism and responsible tourism ensuring
ownership and active participation of traditional fishermen communities. A linkage has also to
be established with traditional industries and micro-enterprises in the fisheries and coastal
sectors. More details are provided in the Tourism and Fisheries sub plan attached with the IFDP
report.
Considering the need and potential of tourism options emerging out of biodiversity
conservation and related activities, the government of Kerala has formulated an integrated aqua
park project at Puthuvypin of Ernakulam district. The proposed project site is under the CRZ
zone IA. This may be developed as an ecotourism project and made sustainable through
21 | P a g e

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
biodiversity conservation and eco restoration activities. Further details are discussed in the
Tourism and Fisheries sub plan.
Considering the huge potential of coastal tourism as an additional and alternate source of
income for traditional coastal communities, there is a need for a proper governance mechanism
in place for managing and guiding tourism activities. Constituting “Local level livelihood
management councils” at the cluster level may be thought of. Approriate District and State level
co ordination bodies are also needed. Local level bodies should have linkages with concerned
LSGI, such as Gramma Panchayats.
Tourism and Fisheries sub plan attached with the IFDP report as Annexure XV
elaborates the ideas presented above, and may be referred for details.
2.6. ECO- RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR POKKALI & KAIPAD IN KERALA.
Pokkali / kaipad wetlands, where saline tolerant paddy cultivation and traditional capture
based aquaculture have been practiced are very popular in India and other tropical countries.
These traditional ‘integrated paddy-shrimp farming system’ is known in the country by different
names locally like Bheries/Bhasabhada in West Bengal, Khazan in Goa, Gazani in Karnataka,
Pokkali in Central Kerala and Kaipad in North Kerala.
Kaipad or Pokkali in the State is a traditional indigenous method of cultivation and has a
great role in maintaining the ecosystem of the region. The fish farming practice followed is a
traditional capture based aquaculture system known as shrimp filtration. It is a major economic
source for coastal communities. The practice of taking a paddy crop followed by prawn
filtration practice provides labour and regular income to the farmers all around the year. This
farming system can withstand the vagaries of climatic changes including flooding due to uneven
monsoon or rise in water level due to global warming, tidal flow and moderate changes in
temperature.
The rice-shrimp system of Pokkali/kaipad forms an example for eco-friendly farming
system where organic or inorganic fertilizers or pesticides of any kind are never applied in this
system. Similarly inputs in the form of feed, fertilizers or chemicals are not applied for
aquaculture also. The soil and water maintain the fertility level to support the traditional
agriculture and aquaculture. Integrated organic farming of both agriculture and aquaculture
helps preserving the biodiversity of these wetlands. Thus pokkali/kaipad system could be
categorized as “an integrated natural farming system”. It may also be noted that the potential for
22 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
carbon sequestration capacity is enormous for these wetlands. Sea level rise due to climate
change is causing changes in the spatial extent of pokkali/kaipad and plays a significant role in
decreasing the impact of floods.
The area under pokkali and kaipad is declining year by year. Large areas have been
converted for coconut cultivation and other purposes over the last few decades. Construction of
Thottappally spill way and Thannermukkom regulator in Alappuzha districts and Kattampally
regulator in Kannur district which prevented tidal influxes to these wetlands have turned some
of these areas unsuitable for pokkali/kaipad farming. As rice cultivation turned out to be an
uneconomical or less profitable affair, many farmers stopped the cultivation in their Pokkali and
kaipad lands. This led to fallowing of pokkali/kaipad fields. The fallowing of lands results in the
growth mangroves which makes it very difficult to restore pokkali/kaipad fields due to legal
protection to mangroves under CRZ rules.
Among the legal frameworks the CRZ notification has a very important role in the
restoration and conservation of pokkali/kaipad. The Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP)
prepared as per CRZ 1991 notification considered pokkali/kaipad as fish breeding areas and the
100 m CRZ adjoining the pokkali fields were categorized as CRZ IA which was also a No
Development Zone (NDZ). Such a categorization put the traditional coastal communities into
great difficulties. This categorization continued till February 2019 when the CZMP as per CRZ
2011 was approved. The CRZ and CZMP 2011 do not categorise banks adjoining
pokkali/kaipad as CRZ IA. Pokkali/kaipad are shown as intertidal zones and categorized as
(CRZ IB). Many of the fishery related infrastructure are permitted on the banks of
pokkali/kaipad with this recategorisation.
It may be noted that CRZ amendment for CRZ 2011 notification vide S.O. 1422 (E)
dated 1st May 2020 may change the CRZ categorization of Pokkali/ Kaipad and adjoining
banks significantly. It redefines HTL in case there exists a bund or a sluice gate constructed in
the past, prior to the date of CRZ notification 1991, such that the HTL shall be restricted up to
the line along the bund or the sluice gate and in such a case, area under mangroves arising due
to saline water ingress beyond the bund or sluice gate shall be classified as CRZ-IA irrespective
of the extent of the area beyond the bund or sluice gate. Such areas under mangroves shall be
protected and shall not be diverted for any developmental activities. Though this has not been
notified for CRZ 2019, the NCZMA has recommended in its 42nd meeting dated 05.04.2021
23 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
that this modification for CRZ 2011 may be made applicable to CRZ 2019 and hence another
notification is expected soon incorporating the above modification in CRZ 2019. Hence the
present draft CZMP 2019 may be modified accordingly limiting the HTL adjoining Pokkali/
Kaipad based on sluices as existed on 19 February 1991. The information on sluices as existed
on 19 February 1991 may be made available for modification of the HTL in the draft CZMP
2019. This becomes meaningful with pokkali/kaipad management plan.
There is a need for scientific management of this major coastal ecosystem for its
sustainable use and conservation considering the continuous decline in its extent, its importance
as a major economic resource for the coastal communities, the importance as a rich biodiversity
hub, and its multifaceted ecosystem services, etc. Management of climate adaptive traditional
agriculture and aquaculture systems like Pokkali or Kaipad gets relevance in this context. The
thrust of the management plan for Pokkali/ Kaipad is eco restoration, the details of which are
given in Annexure XVI.
The major recommendations of the Pokkali/ Kaipad management plan include surveying
and inventorying of Pokkali lands for preparation of a data bank, mapping of sluices/gates
which existed as on 19 February 1991, demarcation of the HTL adjoining pokkali/kaipad based
on CRZ amendment notification vide S.O. 1422 (E) dt 1 May 2020 and sluices/gates which
existed as on 19 February 1991, preparation of specific action plans for reversal of the threats to
these wetland system and restoration of habitat, sustainable development of paddy farming,
aquaculture, ecotourism, traditional industries dependent on these wetland systems,
establishment of an institutional mechanism for conservation and management, capacity
building at all levels of stakeholders for sustainable resource utilization and ensure funding
from different sources for various activities under the management plan for pokkali/kaipad.
The Pokkali/ Kaipad management plan which is attached with this report as Annexure-
XVII provides the approach, parameters to be considered, and suggests an implementation
mechanism for the plan. This draft model plan has to be further strengthened with meaningful
interaction with the stakeholders, especially the traditional community practising Pokkali/
Kaipad for livelihood, associated departments, and the LSG institutions who will have a
decisive role in implementation.

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
Coastal erosion is a very serious issue affecting the sensitive ecosystems, important
morphologies and life and property. Loss of beach due to many reasons which is compounded
by climate change and associated sea level rise and extreme weather events is the major reason
for coastal erosion. Beach being the best coastal protection measure and an important assest for
traditional coastal communities, all efforts should be made to retain the present beach and
regenerate beach wherever possible. An assessment of the functional performance of hard
coastal protection measure like seawalls and groynes already constructed along the Kerala coast
indicates that these hard structures have resulted in extending the erosion to more places and
were not successful in many places. Such hard structures may not be effective to tackle the
impacts of extreme weather conditions and accelerated sea level rise. It is recommended that the
approach towards coastal protection and shoreline management should be based on ecosystem
based solutions. All efforts should be taken to conserve and sustain the beaches and other
coastal landforms as far as possible by avoiding interventions that may lead to damages to
coastal landforms and ecosystems. Hard structure solutions may be adopted only when other
options are ruled out and based on scientific studies and EIA to minimize the impact on adjacent
beaches.
Coastal erosion sites may be shown in the CZMP 2019 so that appropriate measures
could be planned and implemented for management of coastal erosion. State Disaster
Management Authority, Irrigation Department and Fisheries Department may identify critical
areas of erosion and assess the probable reasons for erosion in each critical location with the
support of community, LSG instiyutions and experts. This will also help accurate validation of
the various set of data currently available which sometimes provide conflicting reports. This
25 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
may be updated regularly since the nature and extent of erosion can change depending on the
coastal processes and human interventions.
The huge potential for utilization of the enormous coastal and ocean based resources of
India’s long coastline and the seas around it is driving the Country’s Blue Economy programme
as proposed by the Central government. It envisages strengthening the economy of the Country
through development of strategies for exploitation of the Blue Economy, to ensure better
standards and quality of life. The objective of Blue Economy is to promote smart, sustainable
and inclusive growth and employment opportunities within the Indian coastal and maritime
zone. The major thrust in the coastal zone and coastal waters is port based development under
‘Sagaramala Project’, renewable energy programme, coastal and nearshore mining, and tourism
development. Another major programme is deep sea mining mainly targeting manganese
nodules. Sagaramala aims at developing existing 12 major ports and developing two new major
ports. It also has programmes for modernization and development of existing intermediate ports.
Another major component is providing connectivity between ports through coastal highways
and developing Special Employment Zones and Special Economic Units. Heavy mineral mining
is proposed to be a major development sector under coastal and nearshore mining. High
investment tourism projects are expected under tourism development in the coast and coastal
waters. Wind mill fields along the coast and coastal waters are among the major activities
planned under renewable energy sector. All the above blue economy components will have
major impacts on fisheries, coastal communities and coastal ecosystems. The Environment
Department, KCZMA and the Fisheries Dept. have to keep a close watch on various
developments under blue economy policy so that adverse impacts on fisheries, livelihood and
rights of traditional coastal communities, coastal ecosystems are minimized to an acceptable
26 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
level. Environmental rules especially CRZ rules should not be diluted for permitting activities
under blue economy.
Another major action envisaged under Blue Economy is preparation of Coastal and
Marine Spatial Plans. This will be an extension of the CZMP into the Territorial waters,
Exclusive Economic Zone and the High Seas. It may demarcate spatial boundaries for different
activities along the coast and the seas. This should not encroach on fishing and fishery zones
and the living and occupational areas of traditional coastal communities. The state’s right on
coastal and fishery resources need to be protected. It is the responsibility of the Fisheries
Department, the Environment Department and KCZMA that the livelihood rights are protected
while preparing Coastal and Marine Spatial plans and implementing the projects envisaged
under the blue economy.
As the coastal area of the state is a region plying with various stake holders, overlaps of sub
plan and activities might be there in the CZMP. These conflicts may be in spatial as well as
functional aspects. Coastal and ocean habitats, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are sometimes
challenged for social impacts and conflicts they may generate. Some conflicts have an economic
base, which, once understood, can be used to resolve associated socio-environmental problems.
The coastal area especially, estuaries and back waters in particular are home for many ‘use
conflicts’ in terms of competition for limited resources/space and the consequences of pollution
by various sources and mechanisms. The conflicts between mariculture and seaport/shipping
development, tidal land reclamation and wetland resource uses, coastal mining and protection
against erosion, waste disposal and protecting ecosystem and human health, development of
ports, coastal underground freshwater and lands uses, are particularly serious. The conflicts and
their consequences call into question the adequacy of the existing efforts in research,
monitoring, assessment and management, and in dealing with related scientific or information
uncertainties, thus offering a rationale for improving the existing management systems.
The major stake-holder sub plan overlaps/conflicts expected with Integrated Fisheries
Development Plan are attached as Annexure XVIII.

4. RECOMMENDATIONS
The draft CZMP 2019 requires more details to be included with respect to fisheries and
fishers and their traditional rights. Some of the components to be included in the CZMP as per
the CRZ notification and guidelines for preparation of CZMP are missing in the draft CZMP.
These are identified and provided below as recommendations to the DoECC and KCZMA for
incorporation/consideration in the CZMP 2019. There are few aspects which are to be addressed
by the Fisheries Department. These are listed separately. The Integrated Fisheries Development
Plan (IFDP) with its annexures provides details about all the recommendations. The report and
annexures may be referred while considering the recommendations provided below.
The draft CZMP 2019 has been reviewed from the perspective of Fisheries, Fishers and
other traditional coastal communities. The most relevant issues which have direct linkage with
the coastal area are listed below. These are evolved from the above dliberations.
1. The traditional communities in the coastal zone including the fisher folk belong to
ecosystem people whose livelihood is closely connected with the coastal zone, its
resources and processes. Their traditional and customary rights are part of their
livelihood and must be protected in the CZMP.
2. The different components and recommendations in the CZMP should not have any
adverse impact on livelihood and settlement plan of the coastal fisher folk. The
Integrated Fisheries Development Plan for CZMP 2019 (for CRZ 2019) details the
fishermen settlement areas, its associated infrastructure facilities, model fishing village,
Fishing Harbors and Fish Landing Centers, etc. The plan needs further development
considering the entire fishing villages of the State. Details such as roads, hospitals, etc.
are further to be mapped for addressing the long term requirements of housing and other
settlement needs of the fishing community and be included in CZMP. As directed in the
CRZ notification the existing authorized developments on the seaward side are also to
be demarcated and included.
3. In the CRZ 2019, Annexure IV under Guidelines for preparation of Coastal Zone
Management Plans, in para 5(iii) the State govt is directed to prepare ‘detailed plans for
long term housing needs of coastal fishing communities in view of expansion and other
28 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
needs, provisions for basic services, including sanitation, safety and disaster
preparedness’. This approach is expected to provide safe, hygienic, clean, community
friendly and environment friendly settlement regions for the coastal community taking
into consideration their occupational needs also. This has not been properly projected in
the draft CZMP 2019. This has to be done preferably for fishing villages by the
concerned local bodies with the support of different departments including Environment
and Climate Change, Town Planning and Fisheries, and in consultation with the coastal
communities. A draft model fishing village settlement plan for Arattupuzha detailing the
parameters to be included is attached as annexure to the report. It is recommended that
such settlement plans be prepared for all marine and inland fishing villages in the State
to form part of CZMP 2019.
4. Coastal areas like Arattupuzha are barrier beaches which are highly prone and most
vulnerable to climate change impacts and sea level rise similar to many other barrier
coasts along the Kerala coast. Any management plan for such coast should take into
account of the climate change impacts, increase in extreme events and sea level rise.
5. Considering the issues and problems arising in coastal belts due to climate change such
as coastal erosion and salinity ingression in water bodies, long term projects for
livelihood activities in Fisheries, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry to ameliorate and
adapt to these ill effects are to be formulated and included in the CZMP in addition to
safe housing.
6. Features like Pokkali/ Kaipad (filtration ponds), beaches, mudflats, etc. which are vital
for fisheries and fishers, are categorized along with intertidal zones as CRZ- IB. Hence
these features are not identifiable from the CZMP maps. It is suggested that these may
be either incorporated in the CZMP or provide the land use maps of the coastal zone
(where these are expected to be included) based on which the CZMP maps are prepared,
for reference and plan management action plans. A further verification and scrutiny of
the Fishery Department is needed once these are made available.
7. Beaches need to be demarcated clearly so that beach management plans could be
prepared for beach conservation as directed in the CRZ notification. This will help to
implement the direction in the notification (para 1.9(iii)(b)) that ‘when permissible
activities are taken up on the beaches if loss of beach in the neighbourhood is predicted,
29 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
necessary beach nourishment to compensate for the losses shall be undertaken by the
project authorities’.
8. The CRZ notification has a very important role in the restoration and conservation of
Pokkali/ Kaipad. The Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) prepared as per CRZ
1991 notification considered Pokkali/ Kaipad as fish breeding areas and the 100 m CRZ
adjoining the pokkali fields were categorized as CRZ IA which was also a No
Development Zone (NDZ). Such a categorization put the traditional coastal communities
into great difficulties. This categorization continued till January 2019 when the CZMP
as per CRZ 2011 was approved. The CZMP 2011 do not categorise banks adjoining
Pokkali/ Kaipad as CRZ IA. Pokkali/ Kaipad are shown as intertidal zones and
categorized as (CRZ IB). Many of fishery related infrastructure are permitted on the
banks of Pokkali/ Kaipad with this re-categorisation.
9. An amendment brought for CRZ 2011 notification vide S.O. 1422 (E) dt 1st May 2020
may change the CRZ categorization of Pokkali/ Kaipad and adjoining banks
significantly. It redefines HTL (High Tide Line) such that ‘in case there exists a bund or
a sluice gate constructed in the past, prior to the date of CRZ notification 1991, such that
the HTL shall be restricted up to the line along the bund or the sluice gate and in such a
case, area under mangroves arising due to saline water ingress beyond the bund or sluice
gate shall be classified as CRZ-IA irrespective of the extent of the area beyond the bund
or sluice gate. Such areas under mangroves shall be protected and shall not be diverted
for any developmental activities’. Though this has not been notified for CRZ 2019, the
NCZMA has recommended in its 42nd meeting dated 23-03-2021 that this modification
for CRZ 2011 may be made applicable to CRZ 2019. Hence another notification is
expected soon incorporating the above modification in CRZ 2019. The present draft
CZMP 2019 may be modified accordingly limiting the HTL adjoining Pokkali/ Kaipad,
based on sluices as existed on 19 February 1991. The information on sluices as existed
on 19 February 1991 may be mapped and made available for modification of the HTL in
the draft CZMP 2019. This may be accompanied by Pokkali/ Kaipad management plan
for its conservation and sustainable use.
10. Sluices/gates which existed as on 19 February 1991 have to be mapped to facilitate
limiting of HTL around the outer bund of pokkali fields
30 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
11. Pokkali/ Kaipad management plan is needed for conserving this important coastal
ecosystem considering its ecosystem services to the community and biodiversity. A
model draft management plan is attached with this report for reference which may be
further fine tuned with stakeholder consultations including coastal communities, local
self government institutions, and fisheries department.
12. In many Pokkali/ Kaipad areas mangroves are growing when such fields are kept fallow
for a few years. With the prevailing provisions in the CRZ notification restoration of
these unused Pokkali/ Kkaipad field for its intended use is difficult. The Pokkali/ Kaipad
management plan could also address this. The CZMP 2019 may mention that the
mangroves grown over the years in unused pokkali fields may be permitted to be
replanted in the peripheries so as to allow restoration of these for pokkali fields to its
original use.
13. Many parts of coastline of Kerala are prone to severe coastal erosion. Eroding locations
which may require management interventions may be shown in the CZMP or in the
accompanying land use maps where appropriate shoreline management plans for the
protection of the coast have to be undertaken based on scientific studies.
14. The No Development Zone (NDZ) for CRZ IIIA is 50 m while it is 200 m for CRZ IIIB.
Considering the peculiar settlement pattern of fishermen in the coastal zone, the fisher
community was constantly requesting to reduce the NDZ for ensuring the protection of
traditional and customary rights of the fisher community who are “ecosystem people”.
Accordingly the re-categorisation of CRZ III into CRZ IIIA and CRZ IIIB has been
introduced in CRZ 2019 notification. This categorization as given in the CRZ 2019
notification is not fully reflected in the draft CZMP. The CRZ III categorization into
CRZ IIIA and CRZ IIIB as given in the draft CZMP needs a relook.
15. On verifying the draft CZMP 2019, it was observed that the density of population for
identifying CRZ IIIA has been carried out by taking the entire village area as against the
provision in the notification to consider the density of population of the CRZ III area. By
definition CRZ III covers only land part. Village area now taken consists of CRZ I, CRZ
II, CRZ III and CRZ IV. It is recommended that DoECC may follow the direction in the
Notification and revisit the categorization of CRZ IIIA and CRZ IIIB by recalculating
the density of population taking the area of CRZ III alone for the purpose. Such a
31 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
calculation of density of population may bring many more panchyats under CRZ IIIA.
Accordingly the NDZ will be reduced to 50 m in these panchayats also without allowing
people of other interest encroaching to the coastal zone.
16. Panchayati Raj system being very strong in Kerala it is recommended that all the
computations and other depictions in the CZMP may also be based on panchayat,
municipality and corporations (LSG Institutions) which is imperative in the wake of 73 rd
and 74th Constitution amendment.
17. The DoECC/ KCZMA may also provide guidelines for construction of dwelling units in
the NDZ in association with fisheries and other departments, local bodies and expert
organisations.
32 | P a g e

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
21. While preparing the Integrated Management Plan for Critically Vulnerable Coastal
Areas (CVCA) such as Vembanad Lake which is considered as an area requiring
special attention under CRZ notification, provision for fish farming and aquaculture
activity, measures to prevent and mitigate pollution and measures to control reclamation
of the lake should be incorporated. This may be done in consultation with the Fisheries
Department. The IMP (Integrated Management Plan) for Vembanadu may be attached
with CZMP or a plan for its preparation may be detailed in the CZMP report with a
timeline.
22. For preparing the management plans for Vembanadu, Management Action Plan (MAP)
prepared by CWRDM for Vembanadu and Ashtamudi, the Ashtamudi Management Plan
by NCESS and the Kayal Commission report for Vembanadu by Kerala Sasthra
Sahithya Parishat may be taken as examples, protecting all the rights of traditional
communities.
23. Fishing and fishery Zones (including thozhilidangal), Fish Sanctuaries and Fish
Breeding Grounds both in the sea and backwaters/estuaries should be incorporated in
CZMP. Coastal aquaculture and mariculture zones, mussel and oysters farming zones,
Sea weed farming, Pen culture of fish etc. and potential zones, Proposed zones for
Marine park or bio reserves may also be shown in the CZMP. Areas suitable to
mariculture and coastal aquaculture should be included in the CZMP. In CRZ-IVA and
CRZ-IVB, provisions for utilizing the same for cage fish farming and other kinds of
aquaculture activities with the participation of fishermen should be included in the
CZMP. Coastal Aquaculture activities like brackish water fish/shrimp farming in tide
fed saline wet lands, cage farming of fish, rack/raft and long line farming of mussel and
oysters, Sea weed farming, Pen culture of fish etc. are major thrust areas identified for
the development of aquaculture of the state. Areas and localities suitable for the
development of the above mentioned farming activities may be specified in the CZMP
of the respective Districts. (Details are given in the Report and attached Annexures).
24. Zones identified for Punargeham resettlement and potential zones for resettlement may
be shown in the CZMP
25. Cyclone shelters, road network, etc. for enabling disaster management may be shown in
the CZMP as directed in the CRZ notification
33 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
26. In the CRZ notification, 2019 several relaxations in regulations are allowed for
development and promotion of coastal tourism activity. The benefits granted to tourism
activity in the CRZ may be implemented with the stake of fishermen so that the income
generated through tourism developmental activity will be beneficial to the downtrodden
and marginalized coastal community. So provisions to implement tourism development
activity with the stake of fishermen should be incorporated in the CZMP. The approach
to be followed is given in the report and annexure (Tourism and Fisheries Plan).
27. Tourism development should not obstruct approach of fishermen to sea and also should
not affect their settlement, fishing and fishery zones like thozhilidangal, landing areas,
net mending centres, traditional fish processing etc. The Tourism plans now attached
with the draft CZMP of each district may be reworked in consultation with the Fisheries
Department so that conflicts with fishing and fishery zones, aquaculture zones, fish &
turtle breeding grounds, Fish sanctuaries, settlement zones, IIMPs for islands, EMPs for
ESAs, etc. are considered and conflicts avoided. Tourism plans may be attached with
CZMP 2019 only after such reworking based on consultations with Fisheries
Department is done.
28. Tourism plan for CZMP needs to ensure promotion of biodiversity conservation in
promoting tourism potential in CRZ I through traditional local community involvement.
Mangrove “safari” and guided tour projects may be implemented through traditional
local community, especially fisher women as a livelihood activity. This can be extended
to all possible PESCA actvities
29. Traditional fisher folk, especially educated youth with due participation of women from
the fishing village may be trained for being part of urban beach tourism such as fishing
village visits, adventure water sports, rescue support for near shore water sports,
performing the traditional fishing methods like operation of beach seines, angling,etc.
This may be extended to backwater aquaculture sites such as cage culture for high value
fishes, rope culture of mussels and oysters, prawn farming, Pokkali/ Kaipad, etc. The
above should reflect in the CZMP.
30. Considering the need and potential of tourism options emerging out of biodiversity
conservation and related activities, the government of Kerala has formulated an
integrated aqua park project at Puthuvypin of Ernakulam district. This may be
34 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
incorporated in the CZMP and shown in the CZMP map as an area for ecotourism where
project components that are allowable in mangrove zone may be under taken
31. Home stay as a tourism activity is recommended in the CRZ notification, guidelines for
which could be formulated and attached to the CZMP report.
32. The 20 m CRZ for backwater islands will become effective only when Integrated Island
Management Plans (IIMP) are prepared. Hence there is an urgent need for preparation of
IIMPs for backwater islands. This may be attached with CZMP or a plan for its
preparation may be detailed in the CZMP report.
33. A common IIMP is not apt for all islands as variation of extent is there from very small
to very large islands. There should be a separate or cluster based management plan for
these islands.
34. Criteria for identifying islands must be redefined so as to include barrier islands and
spits like Alappad, Arattupuzha, Vypin Island, Western Kochi to Chellanam stretch and
Valiyaparamba gramapanchayat in Kannur, etc. An Integrated Island Management Plan
(IIMP) for these should consider various livelihood needs of the local community and
there should be an inbuilt mechanism in the IIMP which prohibits migration or
settlement of people other than traditional coastal communities to coastal zone and
which would not permit activities those do not require shore frontage. Barrier islands
and spits like the ones mentioned above are highly prone and most vulnerable to climate
change impacts and sea level rise. Any management plan for such coast should take into
account of the climate change impacts, increase in extreme events and se level rise.
Preparation of IIMP may be done in consultation with the Fisheries Department.
35. Coastal infrastructures already developed and being developed by the department are to
be demarcated in the CZMP to avoid future issues with regard to implementation,
maintenance, rehabilitation, up gradation and mitigation measures. There are twenty five
fishing harbors and seventy three Fish Landing Centres in the state. All the major
fishing harbors are expected to be developed to international standards and may be
shown in the CZMP.
36. The Environment Department, KCZMA and the Fisheries Dept. have to keep a close
watch on various developments under blue economy policy of the Govt. of India such as
‘Sagaramala project’ so that adverse impacts on fisheries, livelihood and rights of
traditional coastal communities, coastal ecosystems are minimized to an acceptable
35 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
level. Environmental rules especially CRZ rules should not be diluted for permitting
activities under blue economy.
37. Another major action envisaged under Blue Economy is preparation of Coastal and
Marine Spatial Plans (CMSP). This will be an extension of the CZMP 2019 into the
Territorial waters, Exclusive Economic Zone and the High Seas. The CMSP envisages
ecosystem and activity based approaches to zoning that can strategically and
comprehensively balance the location, type, and intensity of ocean user groups, or
sectors, across the seascape. This also requires marking and zoning of potential breeding
areas and habitats of commercial fishery resources within 12 nautical miles of the sea
and the living and occupational areas of traditional coastal communities, as envisaged in
CZMP. The fishery related spatial zones thus marked may be included in the CZMP
when these are prepared and made available, and conflicts and overlaps may be avoided.
It is the responsibility of the Fisheries Department, the Environment Department and
KCZMA that the livelihood rights of traditional coastal communities are protected while
preparing Coastal and Marine Spatial plans and implementing the projects envisaged
under the blue economy.
38. Compared to survey boundary lines, the HTL lines are marked thicker. Increased
thickness makes it difficult to make accurate assessment of distances from these lines
and verification of HTL also becomes difficult. Hence the thickness of HTL may be
reduced, similar to that of survey plot lines.
39. Local level CZMP in 1:4000/ 1:5000 with all the details as directed in the CRZ 2019
notification, is needed for the implementation of the notification which is required for
the public to understand and use it for taking decisions on activities in the CRZ area.
Hence time line may be given for the preparation of local level CZMP in the report.
40. In the CZMP of Kannur district (Map no 65,) Block no 8, 41 in CRZ II zone is a water
logged area where sea water enters through a small creek, but it is shown as inter tidal
zone in Map. Need to verify its intertidal status. Kaanamthodu in Kannur Municipal
Corporation is zone is a water logged area where sea water enters through a small creek,
but it is shown as inter tidal zone in map. Need to verify its inter tidal zone status. In
Dharmadam, Pinarayi, Eranholi, Thalassery municipality areas High Tide line is drawn
along the inner bund of the aquaculture farms whereas the tidal fluctuations is limited
only up to the outer bund (bund facing creek/river) and water intake and discharge is
36 | P a g e

regulated by sluice gate and not by tide. So High Tide Line should be marked only
along the outer bund of the farms (Map number KL 68). Many existing aquaculture
farms are shown as in Mangrove Buffer zone which will prevent its further
developmental activities.
41. In Eranholi Panchayat Block No 70, (Govt Fish Farm- ADAK) High Tide Line is
marked along the inner bund of the fish farm, 50m area is marked as No Development
Zone, whereas the tidal fluctuation is limited only up to the outer bund of the farm and is
regulated by the sluice gate. This will adversely affect development. So High Tide Line
should be marked only along the outer bund of farms (Map No KL 69).
42. In Cherukunnu, Kannapuram village areas High Tide line is drawn along the inner bund
of the aquaculture farms whereas the tidal fluctuations is limited only up to the outer
bund (bund facing creek/river) and water intake and discharge is regulated by sluice gate
and not by tide. As a result all farms are being shown as in Inter Tidal Zone which will
prevent its further developmental activities. So High Tide Line should be marked only
along the outer bund of the farms. Map no KL 70). Same anomaly exists in Cherukunnu,
Ezhome, Pattuvam areas and along Kuppam river High Tide line is drawn along the
inner bund of the aquaculture farms whereas the tidal fluctuations is limited only up to
the outer bund ( bund facing creek/river) and water intake and discharge is regulated by
sluice gate and not by tide. As a result all farms are being shown as in Inter Tidal Zone
which will prevent its further developmental activities. So High Tide Line should be
marked only along the outer bund of the farms (Map No KL74).
Many of the suggestions in the IFDP have to be carried forward with positive
interventions and actions by the Fisheries Department. Some of the major recommendations are
listed below:
1. As directed in the in the CRZ 2019, the State govt. (Fisheries dept.) may take initiative
to prepare ‘detailed plans for long term housing needs of coastal fishing communities in
view of expansion and other needs, provisions for basic services, including sanitation,
safety and disaster preparedness’. This could be done for all fishing villages through
agencies such as KSCADC with the support of Local Self-government institutions,
37 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
Town Planning Dept., etc. (An outline for a model fishing village and its settlement plan
is provided in the annexure)
The Fisheries department together with Integrated Rural Technology Centre (IRTC), Town
Planning Department and respective local bodies may take up the preparation of settlement
plans for fishing villages which could be implemented by KSCADC through local bodies.
2. The settlement plan should have a strong empirical foundation provided through
rigorous compilation and analysis of baseline data. Location of safe area for housing
cluster development, rehabilitation plan for rehabilitating those living very near seashore
and susceptible to hazard from sea, and appropriate strategies for coastal protection have
to be ensured. A stock assessment survey has to be done on all infrastructure items
followed with Need Assessment Survey. Settlement plan has to be prepared with
identified parameters taking into account of the stock assessment survey and need
assessment survey.
3. ‘Punergeham’ is a programme imbibing the spirit of the CRZ notification to reduce the
impact of coastal erosion by moving settlements close to the shoreline to safer places.
This has to be further pursued. It may require a change in its operational aspects. The
financial support given to traditional coastal communities has to be modified by
considering the differential land and property prices. It is required to be reworked
considering the minimum area and facilities required for a reasonably comfortable
dwelling unit for a four member family, with the help of experts. The community also
requires an assurance that the property surrendered to the government should be used
only for fishery related and community required facilities and never used for non fishery
related activities. This was also the consensus in the stakeholder meeting convened by
the Hon’ble Minister for Fisheries.
4. There is a need for scientific management of Pokkali/ Kaipad coastal ecosystem for its
sustainable use and conservation considering the continuous decline in its extent, its
importance as a major economic resource for the coastal communities, the importance as
a rich biodiversity hub, the multifaceted ecosystem services, the pressure due to changes
in land use, sea level rise due to climate change, etc. The Fisheries Department has to
take the initiative for developing a management plan for Pokkali/ Kaipad. A model draft
management plan is attached with this report for reference which may be further

fishing harbours. The Central Water Commision (CWC) guidelines could be helpful in
this.
9. Any construction on active beaches will have adverse impacts on shore stability. Care
should be taken to ensure that various constructions for fish landing centres and other
facilities are not carried out in active beaches.
10. The possibility of redesigning the existing fishing harbours to minimise the adverse
impacts on shore stability may be considered. New harbours also need to follow a design
that causes minimum impact on coastal stability.
11. Identify PESCA tourism activities suited for traditional coastal communities including
fishers and empower and equip them for such activities
12. Empower traditional coastal communities, especially women to take part and manage
ecotourism activities in CRZ I areas such as mangroves, beaches, fish sanctuaries, etc.
and CRZ IV areas such as coastal waters and backwaters
13. Proper guidelines for facilitating home stay in CRZ areas may be worked out with input
from stakeholders and tourism department.
14. The Environment Department, KCZMA and the Department of Fisheries have to keep a
close watch on various developments such as ‘Sagaramala Project’, and mining in the
coastal zone and coastal waters, under the Blue Economy policy of Govt. of India so that
adverse impacts on fisheries, livelihood and rights of traditional coastal communities,
coastal ecosystems are minimized to an acceptable level. Environmental rules especially
CRZ rules should not be diluted for permitting activities under blue economy.
15. Another major action envisaged under Blue Economy is preparation of Coastal and
Marine Spatial Plans. This will be an extension of the CZMP into the Territorial waters,
Exclusive Economic Zone and the High Seas. It may demarcate spatial boundaries for
different activities along the coast and the seas. This should not encroach on fishing and
fishery zones and the living and occupational areas of traditional coastal communities.
The state’s right on coastal and fishery resources need to be protected. It is the
responsibility of the Department of Fisheries, the Department of Environment and
KCZMA that the livelihood rights are protected while preparing Coastal and Marine
Spatial plans and implementing the projects envisaged under the blue economy are
implemented.
The report and annexures may be referred while considering the above recommendations.

INTRODUCTION
Kerala has a unique pattern of development and thus forming a different settlement pattern. The
settlement pattern of Kerala is unique in the sense that it is having urban-rural continuum. Ecology
plays an important role in the Kerala’s economy by providing a diversified natural resource base,
enabling a large degree of occupational diversification. The topography and the geographical relief
features are marked by distinct changes from east to west. Geographically, Kerala is divided into
three regions comprising three zones i.e. lowlands, midlands & highlands.
The low land, where the population density is the highest, consists of sandy and fertile soils of the
river valleys, lakes and backwaters, providing the basis for fishing, rice and coconut cultivation
and horticulture.
In the mid land region, coconut, rice, cassava, areca nut and cashew, along with rubber, pepper,
and ginger on the slope predominate.
The high ranges, where the population density is the lowest, and which once consisted almost
wholly of natural evergreen tropical forests, gave way to plantations of tea, coffee and rubber
during the colonial times.
Kerala is one of the most densely populated states in India. Kerala is known for its unique
settlement pattern with independent houses on individual plots scattered across the habitable
areas. The dispersed settlement pattern formed as a result of historical trends, a liking for
homestead type development, comparatively developed infrastructure in urban and rural areas,
geographical reasons, availability of sub-soil water etc can be considered as both a prospect and a
problem. A clear distinction exists between the rural and urban areas elsewhere in India. But here
in Kerala, one cannot clearly distinguish a rural area from an urban area. All over Kerala, it is like a
large number of small and medium towns distributed in the village background. It is exceedingly
difficult to demarcate the end or beginning of a town and a village. The decline in growth rate is
43 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
observed, partly by decline in fertility and partly by net out-migration. The new census figures
2011-21 shows a further decrease in population growth rate.
Kerala has a good socio – economic status compared to other states in India. It has the highest
quality of life index in the country with a high literacy rate at 93.91% against country’s literacy
rate of74.04% according to the provisional data of Census2011 with the male literacy rate 96.0 per
cent and the female literacy rate 92.0 per cent.
OVERALL DEVELOPMENT
Since the formation of the state in 1956, Kerala has striven consistently to bring down the inter
regional disparities, gone ahead with the progressive legislations on land tenures and agrarian
relations, brought down mortality and fertility rates and arrested population growth rate,
promoted educational growth with significant support to private sector initiatives and modernized
the healthcare sector.
Kerala is undergoing high level of urbanisation without physical manifestation in tune to it, which
is another peculiarity. The 2011 census puts the urban content of Kerala at 47.71% with a decadal
growth rate of 82. 23%. A study on the intricacies of the urbanisation of Kerala is inevitable in this
context.
The average population density of India as per 2011 census is 382 persons per sq km. The
population density in Kerala at 859 persons per sq km is comparatively higher when compared
with other States in India. The low population growth rate and comparatively higher population
density are factors deciding the future growth of population of the State. In Kerala, the total
fertility rate (TFR), which was 5.6 per woman in the 1950s, declined to 3.7 in the 1970s, and
reached 1.7 in 2009. The natural increase in population in Kerala is only 7.9 per 1000 population
as against 15.2 per 1000 population of India. The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in Kerala, started
declining from the 1960s. TFR for Kerala in 2009 is 1.70 which is the lowest among states in India.
Urban agglomeration pattern but we see in Kerala has shown a tremendous growth in the Coastal
areas In Kerala, the main reason for urban population growth is not by the concentration of
population into the existing urban areas, but the increase in the number of urban areas and
44 | P a g e

urbanisation of the peripheral areas of the existing major urban centres. Kerala is experiencing
urban spread rather than concentration.

The basis of considering village as a unit is not correct on classifying the coastal areas as it doesn’t
have an administrative boundary and also the data base collection and analysis are all made on the
basis of local bodies. Most of the data is not available at the village level. Hence village cannot be
considered for the classification CRZ II and CRZ III. As per the constitutional amendments (73 rd
and 74th) the powers are delegated to the local bodies. The concept of considering local bodies as a
unit shall be the basis of regulating development and settlement plan.
This section sets a series of planning principles which, when implemented through local planning
policies, will provide for efficient and sustainable development of land. The local growth
management strategy will need to address the following planning principles and demonstrate,
where relevant, how they will be applied to assist in achieving the outcomes and actions at the
district level.

1. Future settlement should be located predominantly within the agreed growth areas.
2. Future settlement, where permitted based on the district plans outside the agreed growth area
and must be located to minimise environmental impacts and be sustainable. Such settlement
must satisfy the sustainability policies.
Fragmented development has high infrastructure costs and is unlikely to be permitted.
To achieve future environmental, economic and social sustainability new settlements should
be able to demonstrate self reliance and an ability to maximise infrastructure efficiency and
service provision. New, isolated settlements should not be considered if residents would be
heavily dependent upon motor vehicles to access basic social and services infrastructure.
Suitability of land (environment, natural resources, hazard)
3. Future development should be located on land that is suitable for the development and
capable of supporting the proposed uses and minimum risk.
4. Plan for future development on land already zoned for settlement but not yet developed
should identify the constraints and opportunities of the land. Development should achieve a
carefully planned community, respecting environmental, resource and hazard issues.
5. Development of land should avoid areas of environmental significance, significant natural
and/or economic resource, potential hazard, high landscape or cultural heritage value, or
potential increased risk associated with impacts of climate change.
6. Future development adjoining land with the above values should incorporate buffers as
necessary to help protect those values and to avoid future land use conflict.
To aid Grama sabhas in the preliminary identification of land with environmental, resource,
landscape value or hazard risk within their local government areas, an initial assessment has
46 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
to be undertaken. From the available data and through inputs from local governments land
suitability for future development is assessed.
Settlement form and hierarchy
9. Development of fishing village should:
• strengthen the hierarchy of settlement identified in the regional strategies, support and
maintain strong multi-functional business centres, minimise urban sprawl, and maximise
infrastructure and service efficiencies;
• be planned to create communities within the hierarchy of settlement. Consideration should
be given to the ultimate geographical extent and population target for each community that
is to be formed or built upon, and the staging/timing by which it is proposed to reach that
position
• provide for a mix of houses, jobs and open space;
• be appropriately located in relation to its scale, nature or type of development; the ability to
provide the necessary infrastructure and services; the need for access and to ensure
effective traffic management, cycle tracks pedestrian walkways, lighted avenues etc to be
planned.
• in the case of residential development, provide for a variety of dwelling types and a choice
in location, form and affordability; and
• enable mixed uses and home-based employment in residential or village zonings where
appropriate.
10. Future rural residential development should be planned so any new opportunities strengthen
the settlement hierarchy identified in the regional strategies. It should be located close to
existing centres and away from areas that may in the future have values for urban expansion.
11. Future rural residential development should be clustered to encourage a sense of community
and for the efficient provision of services. Fragmented development over the landscape will
not be permitted.
Infrastructure provision
12. Future development should only be permitted where it can be provided with adequate, cost
effective physical and social infrastructure to match the expected population for each
settlement. In rural areas this may require the development being able to provide stand alone
services.
13. Future development should be designed and located to minimise the need to travel; to
maximise opportunity for efficient public transport and pedestrian access options; and to
encourage energy and resource efficiency
47 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
14. Future development should not contribute to ribbon/strip development nor impacton the
safety and efficiency of major or arterial roads.
Tourism opportunities
15. Future tourism development should not negatively impact on the naturaleconomic or social
fabric of the area it is to be located in.
16. Future tourism development should provide for a wide range of experience opportunities from
the low cost family type tourism developments. Future investment in and growth of tourism
products and services should notoccur at the expense of local environmental and social values.
17. Future large scale tourism development that is located adjoining natural features such a beach,
estuary, national park or reserve, etc, should maintain public access to those features.
Staging and sequencing of residential land growth management strategy will generally identify
land required for 25years expected growth.
• a staging and sequencing program for the next ten years;
• the land release priority areas for the next five years; and
• annual lot release forecasts projected over five years, including expected total remaining lot
yield.
HIGH RISK
Planning principle: settlement should not be located in areas of high risk of environmental impact
or hazard. Development should be directed to unconstrained land(s) within the release area. In the
occasional and justifiable circumstance where part of a proposal will be located on land identified
as high risk because of the presence of biodiversity values, natural hazard impacts or other
physical limitations, the development must be planned to minimise these impacts and provide
appropriate offsets.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC PLANNING
Socio-economic development plan must be formulated through participation of all members and
stake holders of the fishing Village. It is especially important to ensure participation of women and
youth. Fishing women are important stakeholders in marketing and allied activities in the fisheries
hence, their participation to emphasize their needs, role and contribution in entire planning and
implementation process shall be assured.
48 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
The 73rd and 74th amendments in the constitution mandated local planning at the village
Panchayat, intermediate Panchayats and District Panchayat levels as well as in urban local
governments and their consolidation into a District Plan in each district. Fisheries is the fifth
subject listed in the Eleventh Schedule of the Constitution, constituted in every State at the district
level a District Planning Committee to consolidate the plans prepared by the Panchayats and the
Municipalities in the district and to prepare a draft development plan for the district as a whole.”
Urgent need for public participation in integrated management of coastal and marine areas should
be interpreted as an on-going process that brings together the technical and policy makers with
citizens in a particular initiative; especially if the latter are involved or interested in any way in
these areas or in the coastal-marine ecosystems and their services. It is clear therefore that the
integration policies that are promoting public participation relates to the inclusion of all people,
organizations and associations should help in providing innovative solutions and knowledge for
advancing towards a more integrated coastal management. The functions of government in the
management process should be to encourage development participatory models on social and
economic development.
Every plan shall start with a vision of the fishing village planning. This vision must have astrong
empirical foundation provided through rigorous compilation and analysis of base line data, which
needs to be as institutionalised and strong as the planning system itself. It is especially important
to ensure participation of women in general and those from the disadvantaged sections fishermen
community. In the absence of adequate participation of fishing women, fishing community’s view
of many important issues may remain highly biased in favour of the male population. Moreover,
fishing women are important stakeholders in marketing and allied activities of fishing hence, their
participation in fishing village planning is very important
Such participation can be highly empowering for the women and can also engender a balanced
vision of community development. This would reduce conflicts of interest and benefit sharing of
coastal resources. Various important infrastructure and welfare facilities essentially required for
fishermen sustainable livelihood would need to be discussed. To prioritise the needs, it is
necessary to be classified as immediate and long run requirement of the fishing village.
49 | P a g e

STOCK ASSESSMENT
The existing assessment needs to be done on all infrastructure items such as roads, schools,
hospitals, banks, religious places public transport facilities Public offices, harbours, lakes etc. The
scattered housing areas and housing clusters also has to be identified.
NEED ASSESSMENT
After the stock assessment, the Need Assessment Survey (NAS) shall be conducted. NAS ofa fishing
village is the outcome of the stock assessment where the indicators of welfare and infrastructure
are essentially required for development. The NAS shall provide information about the needs of
the fishermen and the village they are living as well as the future needs for fishermen community
development for a time horizon of five / ten years. While doing the need assessment the
requirement for roads, walkways, water supply, public facilities, waste management facilities etc
has to be identified and settlement plan has to be prepared based on the 17 principles of
settlement mentioned above.
Houses constructed for fishermen should have the capacity to withstand coastaldisasters. Under
GoI – UNDP Disaster Risk Management Programme, the Ministry of Home Affairs has developed
‘guidelines for development and building constructions including safety provisions for natural
hazards in rural areas. The guidelines shall be applied to the construction of houses in fisher folk
villages. The guidelines provide detailed understanding of the role and responsibility of various
institutions for addressing disaster risk for buildings in rural areas
As per CRZ notification 2008, relatively undisturbed rural areas and those do not fall under CRZ-
II, shall constitute CRZ –III. CRZ-III shall be further classified into CRZ-III A and CRZ-III B .
CRZ-III A is such densely populated CRZ-III areas, where the population density is more than
2161 per sq km as per 2011 census base, shall be designated as CRZ –III A. In CRZ-III A, area up
to 50 mts from the HTL on the landward side shall be earmarked as the No Development Zone
(NDZ), provided the CZMPs as per this Notification, framed with due consultative process, have
been approved, failing which, a NDZ of 200 mts shall continue to apply.
CRZ-III B is all other CRZ-III areas with population density of less than 2161 per sq km, as per
2011 census base, shall be designated as CRZ-III B. In CRZ-III B, the area up to 200 mts from the
HTL on the landward side shall be earmarked as the No Development Zone (NDZ).

On initial analysis on the coastal panchayats the gross population density should not be the criteria
for delineating CRZ III A and B. Considering the gross population density of 2161, 139 coastal local
bodies fall under the category of CRZ III A. Most of these areas have large areas under water bodies
hence the net population density has to be considered for classifying CRZ III A and B. If we
consider net population density, 161 local bodies would come under CRZ III A.

ARATTUPUZHA PANCHAYAT
Arattupuzha Panchayat falls in Alappuzha district and has a population of 29,876 this panchayat is a
classical example of large area having water bodies. It is having a narrow strip of land with one side sea
and other side as a lake. The width of the strip is very narrow and is highly vulnerable.
If we consider done gross population density of this panchayat its only 1335 persons per sq km, it doesn't
fall under the criteria of CRZ III A, but if you take the net population density the population density
come to 2298 persons per sq km and hence can be classified as CRZ III B.
Generally the housing is scattered throughout the Panchayat. Some concentration of clusters is seen near
the KC Kayal and on the northern part of the Panchayat. The Northern part of Panchayat is more and
safer area for forming housing clusters and next order facilities.
One of the location in Arattupuzha indicating space availability for new settlement
100 m, 200 m and 500 m lines are visible in the above figure. The type of the development in these
areas is to be planned with local participation. The stock assessment and needs to be studied and
necessary planning interventions has to be made to provide better facilities for the area based on
the principles of settlement mentioned above.

INTRODUCTION
Kerala is a leading tourism location in the world tourism map. It’s enchanting beauty is
attracting millions of people to Kerala every year.The beautiful evergreen terrain,beautiful
beaches,backwaters,lagoons,the western ghat mountains, evergreen coconut, tea, coffee and
cardamom plantations, waterfalls, forests, forest, beautiful reservoirs, sandy beaches, cliffs,
cultural diversities, ethnic and traditional arts, historic monuments, pilgrims centres and all are
the attractions and this uniqueness is referred globally as “Gods own country”. Among this the
Kerala coast and the backwaters are one of the prime tourist destinations.
Tourism isthe fast growing development sector world over and it has been growing
steadily and steaply.But the pandemic COVID 19has shocking influences in the tourism sector
due to the mobility restrictions imposed world over.Tourism is a major contributor to the GDP
of nations .In India around 9% of the GDP is contributed by tourism in the FY 2019-20.During
this year around 39 million jobs were created and this accounts to about 8% of the total
employment generated in India.
Being a prime tourism location among the Indian states, Kerala bagged a major portion
of the tourism earnings in 2019. Kerala received the heighest number of tourists ever before and
the total earnings touched Rs.45010 crores. It has grown 24.14%over the previous year.Nearly
19.5 million tourists visited Kerala that year. Out of this 18.3 millions were domestic tourists
and1.2million were from abroad.The foreign exchange earnings exceeded rupees 10 thousand
crores.The potential of tourism as a major employment creator and income generator is
undisputed.
When we look in to the tourism statistics of Kerala for the last 10 years,it is very clear
that the major share is the domestic tourists and is increasing every year.The origin of the
domestic tourists shows that four southern states contribute nearly 84% of the total domestic
192 | P a g e

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
visitors and nearly 12 million from Kerala itself. When we analyse the character of the this
tourism,mostly pleasure trips, excursions, family outing to enjoy the beauties of nature.Visit to
coastal area tourist locations like beaches, cliffs, and cruising through the back waters.They are
short duration and affordable activities.In 2019 the total revenue share from the domestic
tourists is around Rs 35000 crores.Even though the beaches and back waters are main tourist
attractions, the participation of the fisherfolk community is negligible.We need to notice that
their traditional livelihood activity is facing challenges, non-fishing days are increasingdue to
extreme climatic conditions.Even though we can trace some indirect linkages of benefits,active
direct participation is very less. In fact beaches are their dwelling place having a customary
right,they are marginalised from the fast growing economic activity in and around and living in
the social backwardness. This is a dichotomy which needs corrections.There are ample
opportunities in the coastal area tourism for involving the local fisherfolk are you prove their
livelihood but it needs a different approach of inclusiveness and it should be an echo system-
based and natural resource based. We should consider the traditional strength and unique
capacities of the fisherfolk.
Inclusiveness of the local fisher folk families and communities is the focus of the
perspective
Consider this as a livelihooddiversification for sustainable income generation.
Community-based approach is needed.
Consider them as ecosystem people.
Explore tourism options in the natural resource management with biodiversity
conservation.
It should be a community collective activity and strengthening the local economy
Priority for the involvement of women and educated youth from the local community.
Promoting green options as far as possible.
Promoting ethnic and traditional components of the local community.
It should help to reduce the pressure on marine fisheries which is the main source of
livelihood.
Promoting safe and affordable tourism options.

As an investment option for large capital, this is done by multinational and national
corporates. It is through real estates,star hotels,logistic services etc.
Tourism as business opportunities , shops, hotels transportation, accommodation,and
various service providing.
Small business and local service providing, these are petty businesses,way side
vending,small shops and kiosks
Livelihood options, such as labourers,workforce,waiters, cooks, drivers etc.
Naturally we cannot find a pro fisherfolk approach in any of the above
opportunities.World over we can see that local and ethnic communities get excluded from their
dwelling area due to excessive pressure from the patterns of tourism devolepment.
STRATEGY
Involving marginalised and ethnic community into a new livelihood option, none of the
above possibilities will succeed.
We need a community level collective and clustering approach.Here we can plan the
linkage at fisheries village level.
Attitudinal change and hand holding supports are needed. Motivated and committed
members from the cluster can coordinate and lead the activities
Protection from the encroachment of aspirants from out side the local cluster is needed.
Local livelihood promotion areas to be marked and assigned to activity clusters.
Rights of access to the fisherfolk in to the beaches and sea is to be protected, by
maintaining the community owner ship statusfor the local livelihood cluster .
Involvement of the local self government is needed as the institutional support.
Ensuring livelihood through local tourism options needs the synergy of nature, human
and institutional components.

CRZ 1
Adhering to all the regulations of the CRZlocal fishermen community can engage in various
livelihood supporting tourism activities. Promoting biodiversity conservation and promoting its
tourism potential is an ideal option. Developing and maintaining mangrove ecosystem can
support several tourism activities.Mangrove“safari”and guided tours can be promoted as year
round activity.One of the biggest mangrove forest in India is Pichavaram in Tamilnadu. It is
well protected and maintained by local fishermen communities and providing decent livelihood
to local communities.At Sindhudurg area women groups are engaged in biodiversity
conservation is earning for livelihood by providing local tourism opportunities .
Fish sanctuaries can be promoted in various ways as a fisheries related livelihood and
tourism activity.Community can learn the lessons of responsible fisheries (learning by doing) by
directly involving in the ecosystem management activities.
CRZ 2
Being the developed areas cities and towns, activities of the beach tourism is very common.
Educated youth from the fishing village can be trained for fishing village visits, adventure water
sports can be linked, the traditional fisher folk can be inducted into rescue support team for near
shore water sports.Components of the eco tourism can be promoted in the backwaters and
mangroves adjacent to the towns. Performing the traditional fishing methods like operation of
beach seines, angling, can be used to attract the tourists to the community clusters.Affordable
home stay is another possibility.
CRZ 3
The no devolepment village zones are protected and traditional communities can utilise it by
giving tourism value additions. Maintaining the beaches neat and clean is definitely a task that
can be remunerative also. Lifestyle, traditional culture and heritages can be promoted where
ever possible.
Community level responsible beach management and providing services like higenic wash
rooms, shower and changing roomsand safe adventure trips to the near shore sea are some of the
options.
197 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
Devoleping an activity plan by involving the local community is crucial . An advisory body of
the stake holders at the cluster level will be helpful. Women’s participation can be ensured in
various micro enterprises suitable to the cluster. The SAF activity groups have technical and
management skills to venture in to these type of opportunities.
AQUA TOURISM
Growing Backwater aquaculture sites such as cage culture for high value fishes, rope culture of
mussels and oysters, prawn farming both traditional and intensive will definitely tourist
attractions also.Marine and brackish water fish aquariums can be set up at selected tourism
clusters .Fish and fishery technology galleries will be another option.Sea and its mysteries can
be promoted.Trained youth can be engaged as guides communicators in this facilities.
Pokkali and Kaippad wetlands and the mangrove ecosystem adjoining the rivers and
backwaters can be best utilised for eco tourism activities like farm tourism and aqua tourism.
Small huts along the bunds near the sluice gates would also give an opportunity to enjoy
farming activities. Back water cruise, pesca tourism, sea food restaurants , mangrove walk, bird
watching etc are other options .Developing an action plan for responsible tourism is a
prerequisite for ensuring sustainable utilisation of these wetlands for tourism development.
A lot of small scale industries, including house hold industries were already in existence in
these areas which have to be promoted. Value added products of Kaippad rice like rice flakes,
rice flour, rice bran and value added products of shrimp like dry shrimps and fish; production
of bags and mats using reed and pandanus leaves, collection and pre processing of medinal
plants and other natural ingredients for Ayurvedic products can very well be promoted. These
activities would also support tourism and will increase the livelihood opportunities.

Considering the need and potential of tourism options emerging out of biodiversity conservation and
related activities, the government of Kerala has formulated an integrated aqua park project at Puthuvypin
of Ernakulam district. The proposed project site is under the CRZ zone IA. The total area all the project
site is about 133 acres and out of that 50 acres where transferred to the Department of fisheries
government of Kerala. This land is transferred for the oceanarium and related activities. The proposed
integrated aqua park project has the following components.
1. The proposed project site is located in the CRZ 1A zone. Only the Projects components
that are allowable in the zone can be under taken.
2. All the restrictions and regulations for the CRZ A1 should be observed.
3. The well grown mangrove forest in the proposed site should be kept under strict
scientific conservation procedures and maintained as mangrove botanical garden
considering its ecological importance.
4. The ecotourism component shall be made sustainable through biodiversity conservation
and eco restoration activities.
5. The various activities suggested in the “water sports” are not suitable for the location.It
can be a connected activity that can be done in the Vembanad back waters or in the
nearshore ares of the sea.
6. All most all the activities can be categorised as infotainment related to fisheries and
ocean life.
7. All the major activities that need area development and constructions related to the
infotainment including the oceanarium, research and development, extension services
199 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
should be done with in the area of the land transferred to the Department of fisheries,
strictly observing the CRZ regulations and protecting the mangroves.
8. The project should assure the active participation of the local fisherfolk families
especially the educated youths and the women for a sustainable livelihood
9. The integrated aqua park should be developed as a model for responsible and sustainable
Aqua-tourism.
10. All stake holder institutions, agencies and departments should uphold the spirit of
integration in the process and share the facilities to avoid duplication of activities and
unnecessary additions of infrastructures that may lead to the destruction of the mangrove
ecosystem.All possible green options shall be considered and keep it eco friendly.
11. All statutory permissions and CRZ clearances should be obtained before starting the
project.
Tracing back to the development history of current tourism locations with natural beauties as it
attraction, we can find that majority are natural habitats of the traditional and ethnic
communities.In Kerala it is very evident in the case of the hilly locations and beaches. Most of
the locations are inhabited by the tribals and traditional fisher folks respectively. When tourism
turned in to a major economic activity and finance capital investment opportunities, this land
were either evacuated by acquiring their home land or they were pushed aside by the investors,
legally or illegally .Illegal encroachment in to the common land or in to the common beach and
entry restrictions were imposed subsiquently. Local communities share their anxiety that this
kind of exclusion and marginalisation is going to aggravate in future course of the tourism
development.The plight of the coastal area will not be different and that will definitely going to
affect the traditional fisherfolk of Kerala also. This fear has been expressed in the meeting of the
stakeholders.
200 | P a g e

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
2. Constituting Coastal tourism management councils with adequate representation from the
traditional fisherfolk can monitor the activity with a perspective to protect the livelihood
rights of the fisherfolk.
Constituting “Local level livelihood management councils” at the cluster level is a must
.Approriate District and state level co ordination bodies are also needed. Local level bodies
should have linkages with concerned LSGI, such as gramma panchayats,
CONCLUSION
Tourism and related activities is not a new area of economic activity.But promoting tourism as a
livelihood option to the local community especially marginalised communities needs a different
perspective.Here it is pro fisherfolk and is to be gradually and carefully evolved by
transforming the traditional community strengths and upholding ecosystem values to ensure its
sustainability.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Inclusiveness of the local fisher folk families and communities should be ensured.
Consider the tourism options as livelihood diversification for sustainable income
generation.
Community-based collective and clustering approach is needed.
Consider them as ecosystem people.
Explore tourism options in the natural resource management with biodiversity
conservation.
It should be a community collective activity and strengthening the local economy
Priority for the involvement of women and educated youth from the local community.
Promoting green options as far as possible.
Promoting ethnic and traditional components of the local community.
It should aim to reduce the pressure on marine capture fisheries, which is the main
source of livelihood.

INTRODUCTION
Coastal wetlands are one of the most productive ecosystems on earth. Traditional
agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries in these coastal wetlands have supported the
livelihood of local communities immensely over the last many centuries. Coastal wetlands,
where saline tolerant paddy cultivation and traditional capture based aquaculture have been
practiced are seen in many parts of the world, particularly in tropical countries. Such traditional
integrated paddy-shrimp farming system is popular in India and is known by different names
locally. Bheries/Bhasabhada of West Bengal, Khazan of Goa, Khar or Gazani of Karnataka,
Pokkali of Central Kerala and Kaipad of North Kerala are such traditional integrated farming
systems.
The use of salt tolerant, flood tolerant traditional tall paddy varieties for agriculture and
brackish water species of shrimp and fish for traditional capture based aquaculture in these
coastal marshes offer an opportunity for popularisation of this traditional farming system, which
are on decline over the last few decades. This farming system can withstand the vagaries of
climatic changes including flooding due to uneven monsoon or rise in water level due to global
warming, tidal flow and moderate changes in temperature. More wetlands adjacent to coastal
wetland may get inundated by sea level rise in near future. Hence management of coastal
wetland for coastal protection as well as for its continued use for livelihood support need
immediate attention. Management of climate adaptive traditional agriculture and aquaculture
systems like Pokkali or Kaipad gets relevance in these contexts.
Traditional brackish water paddy-shrimp farming system of Central Kerala is called Pokkali
and that of Northern Kerala, Kaipad wherein farming is an ‘integrated organic farming system’,
where rotational as well as simultaneous farming of paddy and shrimps are practiced. During
monsoon season, when the salinity is very low a crop of paddy is grown here. Shrimps/fish are
grown mainly during the rest of the year. The farming practice followed is a traditional capture
based aquaculture system known as shrimp filtration. Only 2000 hactares out of 24000 hectares
of Pokkali and 900 out of 4000 hactare of Kaipad are under farming now.
Sustainable management of coastal wetlands and near-shore marine ecosystems also offer a
wide range of co-benefits, including shoreline protection, nutrient cycling, water quality
maintenance, flood control, habitat for birds, other wildlife and harvestable resources such as
fish. Improved management of our wetland system would also slow or reverse current loss
of carbon sequestration capacity. Together, these increase the resilience of coupled ecological
and social systems to the impacts of climate change. The coastal wetlands of Kerala, occupying
13% of the total geographical area of the state plays important roles in ecology, economy and
social well-being of the people. The brackish water tidal mudflats in addition to the carbon
sequestration process over the many thousands of years also offer an opportunity for agriculture
and aquaculture production for the last two thousand years. The integrated farming system of
Pokkali and Kaipad where saline tolerant paddy is cultivated along with integration of fishery
208 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
offers an opportunity of climate resilient farming practice in the event of the change in climate
scenario particularly in the recent decades.
The degradation of coastal ecosystem including the coastal wetlands and its adverse impacts
have drawn the attention of the government to take measures for protectecting these areas. The
Coastal Regulation Zone Notification originally published in 1991 and and after incorporation
of certain provisions were again notified in 2011 and 2019. The very purpose of the notification
is to “conserve and protect the unique environment of coastal stretches and marine areas,
besides livelihood security to the fisher communities and other local communities in the coastal
areas and to promote sustainable development based on scientific principles taking into account
the dangers of natural hazards, sea level rise due to global warming”. As such, coastal stretches
were notified as regulated zones of coastal sea, coastal land area and inland water bodies and its
bordering areas.
As per the CRZ notification dated 18-01-2019 of Ministry of Environment, Forest and
Climate Change (MoEF&CC) all coastal state in India need to prepare Coastal Zone
Management Plan (CZMP) and obtain approval of the same from Government of India for the
comprehensive management and judicious utilization of noticed CR Zone of every coastal state.
Future development activities, land utilisation and management of coastal zones in each
states are to be carried out or implemented on the basis of this approved CZMP and hence
the CZMP prepared by state have far reaching significances in the utilisation and owner
ship of land, resource utilizations for food production, job opportunities and wok related
issues of the coastline residents, their housing and other related basic infrastructure
developments. CZMP prepared by the state should cover all aspects of available resources
coming under the provisions of the notifications in the coastal regulation zone and should
provide realistic, judicious and prospective plans for the utilization of the same.
CRZ in the areas nearer to the sea side is fixed as 500 m. from the High Tide Line (HLT)
towards the landward side and in inland regions where there is tidal influence, it is 50 metres
towards the lands from the maximum water level during spring tide. The region designated as
tidal influenced inland areas is defined as the areas where the salinity of water in the water
bodies reaches a minimum of 5 ppt (5 gm. of salt in one litre of water) during the driest period
of the year. In the notification, CRZ which are influenced by tide is classified into four zones
mainly viz. CRZ-I, CRZ II, CRZ III and CRZ IV. CRZ –I, III, and IV are again sub divided into
two zones each viz. CRZ-IA, CRZ-IB, CRZ-IIIA, CRZ-IIIB, CRZ-IVA, CRZ-IVB). Pokkali
and Kaipad wetland come under CRZ-IB, i.e., Intertidal zone falling between High Tide Line
(HLT) and Low Tide Line (LTL) which sometime include ecologically sensitive CRZ –I A
like mangroves. Thus a management plan for Pokkali and Kaipad which fall under CRZ-I is
highly required for inclusion in the Coastal Zone Management Plan of Kerala for ensuring its
conservation and sustainable utilization to the dependent communities.
As both Pokkali and Kaipad have common ecological settings, biodiversity, similar farming
practices for both paddy and aquaculture, except for its short geographical separations, the
details and data available in one system is considered applicable to the other system and
described as such in the following chapters.

The term Pokkali refers to a salt tolerant rice cultivar grown in the coastal saline soils of Kerala.
The areas of Pokkali cultivation are famous as Pokkali land and the rice produced in this tract is
famous as Pokkali rice. Many value added products are produced from Pokkali rice
Majority of Pokkali lands lie between Vembanad Lake and the Arabian Sea and are distributed
in 43 Panchayats, two municipalities and one city corporation area in the districts of Ernakulum,
Thrissur and Alappuzha. Kaipad wetlands of N. Kerala are associated with the estuarine areas of
the rivers of that area distributed in 57 local bodies and more than half of these are along the
Valapattanam-Kuppam backwaters. The fields are submerged with saline water during most of
the periods and tidal amplitude has direct impact on the salinity and water level in the field. As
distinct from the saline soils elsewhere in India, the origin, genesis and development of these
soils are under peculiar climatic and environmental conditions. Soil is stiff impervious clay, rich
in organic matter, bluish black in colour and is more than 1 m deep. The soil is hard and it
creates deep fissures when dry and sticky when wet. With regard to the nutrient status, the soil
is highly fertile with respect to major nutrients
During summer months, due to ingression of salt water from the sea, the soil becomes saline.
However, when the salinity is washed off in heavy monsoon rains, the inherent acidity of the
soil regenerates. The soil is highly acidic, the pH being 3.0-4.5. Water soluble salts like
sulphates and chlorides of Na and Mg are present in high proportion. In dry conditions, white
encrustations of aluminium hydroxide develop on the soil surface. With the onset of monsoon,
the salinity of the soil gradually decreases and the water becomes fresh and fit for cultivation of
paddy. A special system of farming viz. Pokkali rice cultivation has been evolved through ages
by the farmers of the area for the maximum utilization of available resources without affecting
the ecosystem. After the paddy cultivation, the fields are used for prawn/fish cultivation. In
more than 90 percent of single cropped lands, rice cultivation is done during the low saline
phase from May-June to September –October.
prawn, shrimpand other biota. Rice crop draws nutrients from the excrement and other remnants
of sea creatures. On harvest of paddy only the seed part (panicle) is taken as harvest leaving the
rest of rice plant to decay in increasing saline water. This decomposing increases fertility of soil
and forms food of shrimp and fish in following culture. Another reason for fertility is of high
degrading capacity of marine fungi seen in these wetlands (Nambiar, G.R & Raveendran, K,
2009).
Pokkali system mainly depends on traditional Pokkali cultivars and high yielding varieties
derived from these cultivars. Choottupokkali, Cheruviruppu, Kuruka, Anakodan, Eravapandy,
Bali, Orkayama, Orpandi and Pokkali are the traditional cultivars prevalent in this tract.
Improved varieties developed from the Rice research Station, Vyttila (VTL-1 to VTL-8) of
Kerala Agricultural University, are now popular mainly with respect to high yield.
Pokkali/kaipad land races are world famous for their salinity tolerance gene, SalTol QTL, and
are in wide use in the international rice improvement programmes for salinity tolerance. They
are also tolerant to soil acidity and submergence, which make them suitable for adaptive
agriculture in the event of increasing salinity and submergence in the event of rising sea level.
Rice varieties at Kaipad grow to a height of 154 cm on an average. Most common varieties
cultivated are Kuthir and Orkayama. Other local varieties which are cultivated at certain pockets
of Kannur, Kasaragod and Kozhikode districts and need a revival is Chovverian, Kandarkutty,
Bali, Kuttoosan, Orpandi and Orthadiyan. Kaipad varieties are high yielding with an average
yield of 2800Kg/Hectares. Harvesting is done by second week of October. Though all are sown
at the same period, Kaipad varieties differs in their time of harvest. Kuthir variety can be
harvested by end of October while Orhkyma is ripe enough to be harvested only by second
week of November. Since the rice plant is 5-6 feet long and cannot be carried for long distance
only the panicle is taken as harvest leaving the rest of rice plant to decay in increasing saline
water.
In a study conducted at the Rice Research Station, Vyttila, to explore the medicinal values of
Pokkali rice, it is proved that the Pokkali varieties are very rich in antioxidants like oryzanol,
tocopherol and tocotrienol. These contents are even higher than that of the medicinal rice
njavara. The taste of Pokkali/kaipad rice is well known particularly rice flour, rice bran, rice
flakes and many breakfast items made out of it. The local people of this tract like the kanji (rice
gruel) made out of Pokkali rice. The Pokkali rice is rich in amylase content and hence it can be
popularized as rice which is good for diabetic patients.
Traditional prawn filtration known as chemeenkettu is an age old practice in Kerala. The
farming is undertaken in the low lying paddy fields close to the estuaries and lower reaches of
rivers. This type of farming is mostly confined in Ernakulum, Thrissur and Alappuzha Districts
in Central Kerala and in Kannur, Kozhikkode and Kasaragod districts of North Kerala.
The preparation for prawn filtration starts soon after the harvest of paddy. By this time the rainy
season is over and the salinity of water reached a level conducive for large scale ingression of
post larvae and juveniles of shrimp in the coastal inlets and adjoining rice fields. November-

April is the normal period of this filtration. As part of the preparation for shrimp filtration,
bunds are strengthened and sluices installed/repaired for the exchange of tidal water. In order to
facilitate free exchange of water, channels are provided along the periphery and centre of the
paddy field.

The total Pokkali lands were originally estimated to be 24,000 hectares. Large areas are
converted for coconut cultivation and other purposes. The present area is estimated to be 8,000
hectares. Year by year the area under Pokkali cultivation is declining. The present area under
regular cultivation is 2,000 hectares. In another 5,000 hectares paddy cultivation
cultivat is done
occasionally i.e., only when the climatic conditions are favourable.
Kaipad or Pokkali is a traditional indigenous method of cultivation and have a great role in
maintaining the ecosystem of the region. The raising of fish in paddy fields either

depending on the ecological settings of the rice fields. However it is carried out on a significant
scale in the coastal wetlands than on the upland rice fields.
The practice of taking a paddy crop followed by prawn filtration practice provides labour and
regular income to the farmers all around the year. The number of farmers involved in regular
Pokkali cultivation is estimated to be 11,6051. The total labour involved for Pokkali farming in
207 man days per hectare- 84 men and 123 women. Labour requirement of seasonal Pokkali
fields for Chemeenkettu is estimated at 246 per hectare-181 man and 65 women. Pokkali work
is generally hard because all the work has to be done in muddy water and without needed
expertise it is impossible to do the work. On the traditional front of rice – fish cultivation, due to
decline in extent of farming, the labour days of women and their income is systematically
getting reduced.
The maximum number of work days for an expert female worker can be calculated as 30 days.
In reality an expert female worker can expect 15-20 days of work in one season under the best
possible environment. During the seasonal Chemeenkettu, i.e. from December to April, prawn
peeling and hand picking of fish are the main source of income for women. During the five
months of prawn harvest women get prawns for around 60/70 days. Every month there will be
two thakkoms (prawn availability period; one thakkam is seven days.). During this time one
woman may get around 5 kilos of prawns for peeling. The rate of peeling is ₹4/kg for high
quality and ₹ 8 for thelly2 (currently Rs. 14 and 24). After Kettukalakkal (final harvest) on April
14, traditional practice of rice/ fish farming the maximum workdays of a female worker can be
calculated something like 30 days during Pokkali, 70 days during chemeenkettu and 45 days
after kettukalakkal. That is, a total of 145 days per annum. From the available 123 man days
/hectares for women, an individual woman is getting hardly 30 days of work due to the large
number of women labourers available and the consistent decline in the area of Pokkali
cultivation.3
Conversion of Pokkali and Kaipad fields can ultimately result in displacement of female
labourers who are traditionally farm hands. On the traditional front of rice-fish cultivation the
labour days of women and their income is systematically getting reduced. There is
displacement. Low wage are forcing women folk to move on to other jobs. Concentration of
shrimp peeling sheds is providing job opportunity to these displaced women agricultural
labourers. Shrimp peeling sheds are capable of providing 150-200 days of employment to these
women. Due to the absence of export oriented peeling sheds, the displaced women are not
easily absorbed. The age factor along with the geographical structure and lack of transportation
facility in the coastal Panchayats prevents the women from finding out job opportunities
elsewhere. Moreover our social structure prevents women from migrating.

Revival of Pokkali/ Kaipad farming would provide more employment opportunities to the local
community especially women folk. Traditionally, in paddy farming, most of the activities like
preparation of seed for sowing, sowing of sprouted seed, harvesting, winnowing and other post-
harvest processing are mostly done by women. In traditional shrimp filtration, the sorting of
shrimps, its packing is mostly done by women. In addition, collection of shrimps in traditional
ways like thappal (hand-picking of shrimps), and therakkal (aggregation and collection of
shrimp in shallow waters) are common in Pokkali/ Kaipad wetlands which also give additional
income to women. Fodder from Pokkali/ Kaipad wetlands support cattle rearing of nearby areas,
which also provides additional income mainly to women.

About four decades back, around 24000 ha. of Pokkali land was under rice farming in
central part of Kerala and 4000 hactares of Kaipad lands in northern part of Kerala.
Construction of Thottappally spill way and Thannermukkom regulator in Alappuzha districts
and Kattampally regulator in Kannur district which prevented tidal influxes to these wetlands
have turned some of these areas unsuitable for pokkali/kaipad farming. Out of the 8000 hectares
available for rice or prawn farming in pokkali fields only 2400 hectares are in cultivation now.
In kaipad also out of the 4000 hactares available, less than 900 hactares are under cultivation
now. Extent of Pokkali and Kaipad lands, its extent and presently farmed area and areas that can
be revived with proper management are provided in table 1 and table 2 respectively. The area

A conservative estimate indicates that about 5600 hectare of fallow Pokkali lands in Central
Kerala and 2900 hactares of kaipad lands in N. Kerala can be revived. By adopting group
farming and by better management of rice and fish, new employment opportunities to the rural
farming community of the area can be generated. Since traditional paddy-shrimp farming is
labour intensive, it can generate a large number of man days of employment especially to the
women as discussed in the earlier chapter. With proper management of rice and fish, income
from unit area of the land can also be enhanced perceptibly.
Most of the Pokkali Rice cum prawn filtration fields of Central Kerala is now fallow due to
heavy influx of saline water in the pokkali fields due to absence of proper bunds and increasing
high tide levels. This increase in tide levels has caused the wide spread of viral diseased in
prawn filtration fields due to over flow of water from one farm to another and destruction of
bunds of fields in many farms. This increase in water level and destruction of bunds affected
pokkali paddy cultivation in many of the padasekharams. Out of the 8200 hectares available for
rice or prawn farming in pokkali fields only 2400 hectares are in cultivation now. The rest of the
area is fallow or used partially in a year. This was because of the lack of strong outer bunds and
other necessary infrastructures like sluice, pumps etc. So in order to motivate farming activity
the farmers or farms are to be assisted for heightening and strengthening of bunds, installation
of proper sluice gate and pumps. They are also to be assisted with necessary input for the
farming operations.

Biodiversity and fishery of Paddy Shrimp Farming systems of India were investigated by
various authors (Pillay, TVR, 1954; George, M.J, 1962; Kurup et.al., 1992, Purushan, K.S.,
2003; Cheruvat, D, 2014). The biodiversity details are largely extracted from the studies of the
last author from kaipad wetlands of Kannur district.
Altogether 121 species of plants inclusive of mangroves, 345 species of animals excluding
planktonic forms and minor invertebrate phyla were recorded in kaipad. Plants could be
classified into three community level associations, i.e., of marsh lands, of the table lands and
mangroves. Eleven species are mangroves and 16 species considered mangrove associates.
Grasses (Family: Poaceae) with 23 species and Sedges (Family: Cyperaceae) with 13 species
dominated the floral community. 34 species were found to be medicinal plants. Families and
number of species are shown in Table-3.

Faunal diversity of kaipad is shown in table -4. Among the invertebrates, the occurrence of a
single species of flatworm, Pseudoceros sp. having seasonal fluctuation in their population was
a ubiquitous feature observed in kaipad lands. The abundance of benthic fauna such as
polychaetes was high and was influenced by change in salinity. Birds especially mud probing
migratory waterfowls were observed feeding intensely on these polychaetes. The abundance of
these birds was seen correlated with the abundance of polychaetes. Polychaetes also form an
item of food for shrimps crabs and carnivorous fish (Jhingran, 1991). Eighteen species of
odonates and 33 species of lepidopterans were recorded in kaipad. The mosquito, Culex sitiens,
was abundant in in their larval phase, during April-May in the kaipad marsh, when salinity (33-
34 ppt.) and pH (9-9.5.) of waters were notably very much high.

Among the 10 species of molluscs recorded, none was commercially harvested in most of the
kaipad areas. Smaller mollusks occurring in large numbers like Cerithidea cingulata and
Thiara sp. form the favourite food of mud probing birds like plovers. Three species of
Amphibians, 13 species of Reptiles and 12 species of mammals were also recorded in kaipad.
Amphibians and few species of reptiles were recorded during the low saline phase during
monsoon. Kaipad marshes adjoining the land area provide suitable breeding grounds for frogs
during the early monsoon periods. The table lands of kaipad provide a suitable protective area
for Jackals and Otters.
4.2.1. FISHERY RESOURCES
Fishery of Kaipad resources comprises 84 species of fishes, 16 species of crabs and 11 species
of shrimp/prawn. Shrimps constituted 73-77% of the fishery yield. Scylla serrata and Scylla
tranquebarica are the two high value crab species caught from kaipad wetlands constituting
about 7-8% of the total fishery. Commercial fishes constituted 17-19%. (Cheruvat, 2014)
Composition of commercial shrimps and fish are shown in table- 5. The yield of various
shrimps in various seasons is almost same as reported in backwaters of Cochin George (1962),
whereas the composition of various shrimps differ slightly from that was reported from that of
the similar system of pokkali in Cochin by Mathew (1991) and Purushan (2003). Smaller fishes
such as Aplocheilus blocki, Horaichthys setnai, Puntius vittatus, Etroplus maculatus and
Psedosphromenus cupanus, though visibly seen as species of no commercial importance, serve
many ecological and economic benefits as potential source of larvivorous fish, ornamental fish
and also forming natural prey to economically important aquatic fauna and piscivorous birds.

Coastal wetlands especially shallow mud flats being highly productive support a wide
variety of plants and animals, besides providing a field for coastal agriculture and aquaculture.
In Pokkali/kaipad mudflats, where integrated organic farming of both agriculture and
aquaculture are practiced are also responsible for preserving the biodiversity of these wetlands.
The diversity and abundance of biota like Plants, Polychaetes, Pisces and Birds and their
interactions in supporting the system and the role of agro-ecosystems with its traditional
farming practices in preserving the biodiversity is evident.

Obvious is the fact that hydrologic conditions in a tidal marsh system such as
Pokkali/kaipad fields, is extremely important for the maintenance of its own ecological
functions. Hydrology affects or determines main abiotic factors or attributes, including salinity,
soil redox potential (a measure of intensity of oxidation or reduction), and nutrient availability
which are, in turn, integrally linked with the development and diversity of flora and fauna—the
productive potentials--associated with the system. In a much more elaborated perspective,
hydrology affects the species composition (of both plants and animals), primary productivity,
organic accumulation, and nutrient cycling of the kaipad system. In this hydrologic system, its
hydro period, often termed as hydrologic signature, is resulted by the balance between the
hydrologic pathways, the inflows---such as precipitations, surface run offs, flooding river flows
and groundwater (as freshwater inputs), and also the tidal inflows from the coasts and outflows,
which transport energy and nutrients to and fro to this tidal marsh wetland system, influenced
by the landscape contours and the subsurface conditions. In addition to the river flow and tidal
actions, many streams also drain into Pokkali/kaipad wetlands. Thus, in the Pokkali/kaipad
systems, the hydrology-mediated inputs improve the nutrient cycling processes thus increasing
the nutrient availability, as can be seen in the soil nutrient data, in the system to the utilization
of any dispensing component of the biota, not only to the floral faunal components of this
ecological system, but also to the human factor that make use of this natural aquatic system for
traditional mode of farming cultivation.
The Pokkali/kaipad wetlands occupy an intermediate position in terms of spatial arrangement,
between the coastal uplands and the lowland aquatic systems. Its ecotonal position also gets
reflected in the amount of water this eco-habitat system stores and processes, at the same time
with its sensitivity to changes in the normal patterns pertaining to the hydrology, which may
directly modify or change chemical and physical properties such as nutrient availability, levels
of substrate anoxia, soil salinity, sediment properties, and pH. While water inflows act as major
227 | P a g e

input sources replenishing the nutrients to the system, the outflows often take away the abiotic
and biotic components from the system as well. Such alterations in the physiochemical
environment of the system invariably make a causal effect on the biotic responses and
productivity (Gosselink and Turner, 1978), and that is why even the slight changes in the
hydrologic conditions of a very sensitive wetland system, like the type found in the
Pokkali/kaipad fields, may elicit the responding changes, in the biota, affecting the species
richness and ecosystem productivity. So long as the hydrologic pattern of this system remains
similar, the way the system has come into its natural settings, perpetuating mode, its ecological
structural and functional integrity continue to persist. There are instances for collapse of the
system when the flow characteristics of these wetlands were prevented by construction of
barriers as discussed in the following chapter.
Analysis of soil from different plots of kaipad in different season shows variation of
different soil properties. These changes are more profound in different seasons than of samples
form different plots. As the presence of nutrients from samples did not show much variation, an
average value is presented for showing a general level of nutrients and properties in different
periods.
5.2.1. TYPE OF SOIL
Physical examination of the soil on various parts shows that the type of soil is clay or clay loam.
The different stages of kaipad fields in different seasons are provided in figure 6. By
the middle of April when sluices were closed, most of the kaipad start drying up and get
fissured and this dryness of soil for more than a month i.e., till the end of May imparts profound
influence on paddy cultivation and aquaculture. Kaipad lands are waterlogged during all other
months. Greene (1960) states, “yield of paddy are increased by 10 per cent or more if paddy
field can be dried of between crops, due to greater production of ammonia than in continuously
flooded soil”. He has also reported that the increase of nitrogen may be as much as 22 kg./ha.
Air drying may also influence the availability of phosphate. Thus drying and fissuring of kaipad
lands increases the availability of these nutrients. Data on soil parameters also supports this
statement as available phosphorus was seen to be high during peak summer and the subsequent
few months. Sedimentation of flora of kaipad also increases the soil fertility. The rate of cycling
of nutrients in kaipad paddy fields become affected if fields are abandoned for years.
5.3.1. PREPARATION OF MOUNTS
The preparation mounts for raising seedlings sprouted rice also influences the
agriculture and aquaculture. Elder farmers report that production of paddy is more after
introduction of mounts preparation practice some eight decades back. Before that, seeds were
directly sown on leveled soil on the onset of monsoon. Mount preparation has the following
functions.
1. Mounts are prepared for reducing the salt content of soil before sowing as the early rain
of monsoon washes the excess salt away so that paddy seedlings grow healthy in less
saline soil.
2. Mount preparation also has a tilling effect on the soil. This also creates a favorable
condition for seedlings to spread the root system rapidly.
3. During mount making, the soil is scooped with a hoe and dropped inverted. Thus
humus-nutrient rich top soil is protected from leaching by the heavy downpour of early
monsoon, before soil is covered by the growing paddy.
4. In the process of mount preparation, the seeds of the other marsh plants are kept below
the surface so that paddy seedling get competitive advantage fast suppressing growth of
other plants (eradication of weeds).

soil enriching the nutrient level. Soil analysis showed that there is an increase in organic carbon
content during

November to February period, apparently due to the decaying of straw and other vegetative
matter. This practice is also an essential practice followed in Fukuoka model of farming
(Fukuoka, 1992) for enriching the soil. Decaying straw also form feed to the shrimps growing in
Pokkali/kaipad fields. Decaying vegetation serving as a part of diet of shrimp has been
suggested by various authors (George,1974). By these processes the cycling of nutrients is
enhanced in Pokkali/kaipad. This aspect of paddy culture is favorable for traditional
aquaculture like shrimp filtration.
5.3.4. ROLE OF WEEDS
Many plants grow along with rice are not generally eradicated. Plants like Cynodon
dactylon, Isachne setosa, Panicum sp., Diplachne fusca, Schoenoplectis littoralis, Furaena
umbellate., Eleocharis dulcis, Hygrophila ringens, Sacciolepis interrupta etc. thrive well with
rice and also in abandoned kaipad marshes. Some of these plants reduce attack of grainivorous
birds and pests. Luxuriant growth of the sedge Eleocharis dulcis in uncultivated area may
function as a trap plant in controlling rice pests as reported by Ranganath (2002) as destruction
by pests is minimum in kaipad lands. The observation by Dover & Talbort (1987) that diversity
and succession of communities reduces weeds and pests in farming system that result in an
evolving system with increasing diversity and reduced susceptibility is very much true in
pokkali/kaipad farming system.
The traditional capture based fishery known as shrimp filtration in kaipad lands do not
require external inputs in the form of fertillisers, feed or any aquaculture chemicals, yet the
system maintains the productivity by the natural turnover of nutrients. In many fields where
paddy cultivation has ceased to exist, may affect the shrimp production in future. The following
practices of traditional shrimp farming in Pokkali/kaipad influence in maintaining the general
quality of the system.
5.4.1. LEAST INPUTS
In the traditional shrimp filtration practice of Pokkali/kaipad, inputs in the form of
fertilizers, fish feed or chemicals are not used. There is no elimination or control of other fauna,
which are competitors of valuable fish/shrimp. This is responsible for the diversity and
abundance of fauna that is not seen in modern rice fields and shrimp farms.
231 | P a g e

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
period. This is the period when most of the late larval stages of shrimps from the sea migrate to
the backwaters including the traditional fields like Pokkali/kaipad for further growth. The
shrimps get attracted to such places owing to the availability of food and other suitable
conditions. Thus the fishing holidays for 2-3 months allow fish to grow well for their
subsequent catch at sluices.
Mud and reeds are used for making and strengthening dikes. Huge quantity of the reed
– Cyperus pangorei – available in abandoned kaipad lands are cut and used for this. The
decaying reeds at the dikes were seen attracting innumerable young shrimps. They were seen
schooling more near the dikes and feeding on the biota of decaying reeds. Thus apart from the
decaying hay at the rice fields, decaying reed and associated biota also form an important
moiety of the food of shrimps in Pokkali/kaipad fields. Decaying vegetation forming a part of
shrimp diet has already been cited earlier.
Most fish and crabs breed mainly during monsoon. This is also the period of rice
cultivation. Capture of fish and crab is difficult among the standing crop of rice which grows to
about 5 feet or more. As flooding during monsoon affect the filtration at sluices less quantity of
shrimps/fish are caught at this time. Moreover this is not the period of availability of shrimps of
high commercial value such as Penaeus indicus.
232 | P a g e

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
hydrophytes like Enteromorpha and Najas. Thus toxicity of ammonium is reduced as well as
the nitrogen availability increased in the habitat.
Sulphide injury to flora and fauna in acid sulphate soils is an established fact
(Subramony, 1960; Subramony,1965; Murthy, 1971; Nair & Subramony, 1969). Though
sulphide is produced in these lands, injury must be minimum as the flora and fauna are diverse
and abundant than the conventional paddy fields. Here, Enteromorpha function as a control
agent in minimizing sulphide injury to other biota. Preferential sulphur absorption by these
plants is an established fact. The abundance of Enteromorpha during cropping period absorbs
much of the sulphur and some quantities of these plants are removed to the river through the
sluices. Thus in addition to the inactivation of sulphide by the large amount of Fe present in
kaipad soils, Enteromorpha also helps in absorbing the sulphide minimizing the sulphide injury
to other biota. The decomposition of these dense algal mat in Pokkali/kaipad soil also liberate
the H2S gas to the atmosphere and increases the nutrient level of soil by sedimentation and
decay in soil.
5.7.2 POST-HARVEST VEGETATION
The dense growth of post-harvest vegetation (described in chapter 4), make use of the
nutrients and space available in the field after harvest of paddy. The subsequent decomposition
of this emergent vegetation due to increasing salinity, pH, dryness of land etc., return much of
the minerals fixed in these plants. The higher level of organic carbon, phosphorus and
potassium following post-harvest period noticed was probably due the decay of paddy stubbles,
hydrophytes as well as by the dense growth of post-harvest vegetation.
5.7.3. MANGROVES AND SOIL FERTILITY
Leaf litter of mangroves on its decay, facilitated by microbes, increase the humus
content as well as the process of trapping of nutrients liberated in the decay process by the
aquatic macrophytes suggested above, increases the nutrient level of the habitat. Decaying
matter also form food to the planktonic forms of many crustaceans.
The abundance and interactions of different faunal elements greatly contribute to the
fertility of the kaipad lands. Influence of major faunal groups such as Polychaetes, Fish and
Birds on fertility of the kaipad paddy fields were described below.
5.8.4. MOLLUCS
Innumerable number of molluscs especially that of smaller one mentioned above laid over the
years also helps for decreasing the acidity of soil to facilitate paddy and fish farming.
234 | P a g e

As in other coastal wetlands of Kerala about half of the Pokkali and Kaipad land
were lost during the last 30-50 years. Paddy cultivation is restricted to one fourth of these
wetlands that exists now. Being a very important coastal wetland system supporting rich
biodiversity and contributing to the ecosystem service values including flood mitigation to the
coastal community for centuries and considering the emerging issues of climate change urgent
measures are to be taken for restoration of these important coastal wetlands and proper
management strategies adopted without further delay. UN Millenium Wetland Ecosystem
Assessment under the UNEP – TEEB (The Economics of Ecosystem & Biodiversity) shows
that the ecosystem service values of coastal wetlands are more than four times that of inland
wetlands and it was caluculated to be more than Rs. one core per hectare per year. Thus if these
wetlands are conserved as such, it will continue to provide these services including food,
employment, oxygen, flood control and climate resilience.
The pokkali/kaipad agroecosystem, evolved as a result of human need and endeavour for
developing agriculture and aquaculture many centuries back, are facing many threats now. The
system having suitable climatic conditions, tidal action, floral and faunal interactions, ideally
suited for paddy/fish production would soon vanish unless the various threats faced by the
system are avoided or minimized. Actually the destruction of this eco-friendly farming system
has started about five decades back with the construction of barriers to prevent saline ingression
to the inland areas followed by large scale reclamation for conversion of these wetland for other
purposes.
235 | P a g e

Thus, these projects launched to promote freshwater paddy cultivation for three crop cycles in a
year turned out to be an ecological disaster in these areas contrary to the benign expectations of
the people. Moreover, hundreds of people engaged in rice cultivation and shrimp filtration were
deprived of their jobs.
container terminals, expansion of the city and other infrastructure facilities in Cochin area have
taken a heavy toll on loss of Pokkali lands. As happend on the case of Pokkali, the construction
of many roads, Payangadi – Muttukandi – Ezhome road, Avathekkai – Panakkad road and
Chootayam road, and a bus station and neighboring commercial complexes at Payangadi, were
made in the heart of the kaipad wetlands of Ezhome panchayat in Kannur district. The second
track for railways was also made through the kaipad wetlands of Cherukunnu panchayat.
Construction of road and railway lines also obstructed the water flow. Commercial complexes,
residential complexes and hospital complexes at Thalassery in the district are best example for
such blatant violation of laws which caused decline of these wetlands.
Industrial establishments
Modern industries, Sawmills, plywood factories and a few other establishments constructed in
the Pokkali/kaipad wetlands in various parts of the districts were another reason for the decline
of these wetlands. The wastewater released from some of these establishments was also a threat
to the fauna and flora of the surroundings.
Pollution
Solid wastes, organic and inorganic pollutants released into the rivers often find their ways to
the Pokkali/kaipad wetlands due to tidal effect and settle there. The kaipad wetlands and
mangroves of Pappinisseri, Ezhome and Cherukunnu receive a lot of wastes. People find it very
convenient to throw wastes from bridges to rivers. Animal/organic wastes from
slaughterhouses, poultry shops, hospitals etc., often packed in polythene bags thrown in river
eventually get settled in Pokkali/kaipad wetlands. Dead animals thrown in rivers also reach such
wetlands posing serious health problems. Chemical industries including resin and dye industry
also release pollutants directly into these wetlands or associated river systems causing serious
issues.
237 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
Pokkali fields are under serious anthropogenic threats as they are being converted for
other purposes like roads, bridges, hospitals, residential or commercial activities. Also these
areas appear to be one of the most preferred landfills for dumping solid waste and an
ultimate point for discharging untreated industrial and domestic effluents. Invasion of weed,
over exploitation of fish and prawn are some of the other reasons for the decline of the
paddy and fishery in these wetlands. These threats have to be reversed.
Heavy siltation and consequent reduction in the depth of the backwaters and feeder
canals demands urgent desilting of the water bodies by resorting to dredging there by the
depth can be maintained at the desired level. Dredging is very essential in those parts of the
estuary where the areas are utilized for pokkali shrimp aquaculture such as the Mulavukad to
Chattanad (Veerean puzha), Cheenkannithodu and Vebhayi Thodu in Kuzhupilly in
Ernakulam district and Ezhome-Cherukunnu-Kannapuram-Pattuvam areas of Kuppam River
in Kannur district. Kattampally area of Kannur district also required desiltation and
reconstruction of bunds. Removal of the material dumped due to dredging in the backwaters
and other unused dumped materials used for construction of bridges and roads will ensure
free water movement in the backwaters and restoration of tidal amplitude. The smaller
channels within the paddy polders also required annual maitenence as practiced earlier to
ease drainage of water to maintain the soil quality. The dredged soil should only be used for
restoration/reconstruction of bunds adjoining these wetlands.
Management of mangrove is another area which can be best utilized for protection of
the farming areas from the vagaries of climate induced calamities of tidal surges, flood and
heavy downpour during monsoon. At present annual maintenance of peripheral bunds of the
padasekharams turns to be a costly affair to the farmers. Planting of mangrove in the outer
periphery of the bunds boardering with the rivers/backwaters would help in protecting the
bunds as done in the case of the NAFCC project implemented by ADAK in Pokkali/kaipad
areas. Further details are provided under the Mitigation and adaptation to the impact of
Climate Change below. Mangroves which are growing the paddy farming areas have to be
238 | P a g e

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
controlled and planted to the outer periphery of the bunds, which would facilitate paddy
farming, protection of bunds and increase fertility of the surrounding wetlands and would
also help in enhancing the biodiversity especially the fishery resources.
Managing genetic biodiversity also is equally important. The SALTOL (Salt
Tolerance) QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) and Sub 1 (Submergence Tolerance) genes of
pokkali are highly valuable and world famous. This QTL is being used throughout the world
for saline tolerant varietal development programme. Hence, protection of pokkali genetic
resources as a field germplasm in the form of pokkali Rice Park has to be taken up. The
medicinal properties of pokkali rice is because of its high antioxidant contents like oryzanol,
tocopherol and tocotrienol contents higher than that of medicinal rice, njavara which needs
to be popularized and a high price equivalent to njavara rice. The pure organic nature and
the geographical indication registry of this rice indicate great scope to use in baby foods,
soups etc. and hence demands procuring of this rice at higher price. High amylose content
(>25%) of this rice provides an opportunity to promote this rice as an anti diabetic rice.
239 | P a g e

restraints in the overall interest of the state. The local self governments may be empowered to
enforce this restraining power of social control.
Management of Pokkali along with Mangroves can also open a new avenue for self
employment such as ecotourism (as provided in CRZ notification, 2019), fishing, cottage
industries based on mangrove forest produce and other vegetation like reeds, helping to
improve the socio-economic conditions of the local communities.
240 | P a g e

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
Bunds which protect the Pokkali/kaipad wetlands from tidal waves and flood which also
helps to regulate water level requires annual maintenance. A lot of money and manpower is
expended for repair of bunds and sluices. Traditional sluices are made of wood and would
last for 2-3 years. The rising sea level and frequent flood often cause demage to the
traditional bunds and sluices. Erection of massive earthern bunds especially that boarder the
river or backwater protected on its outer periphery by mangroves would helps to reduce the
maintenance cost and also would protect the paddy polders from uneven flood, heavy
downpour and wave action. A photograph showing such a mangrove belt protecting the river
side along Kuppam-Payangadi River in Kannur is shown in figure 7. The contruction such
massive bunds planted with mangroves done in the NAFCC project “Promotion of integrated
farming system of Kaipad and Pokkali in coastal wetlands of Kerala by ADAK (Department
of Fisheries) during 2016-21 is one of the best examples for this. Mangrove being planted
under NAFCC project is shown in figure 8.

Most of such bunds constructed under this project withstood the destructive flood of 2018
and 2019. Upgrading the wooden sluices to masonry/concreate sluice gates would also help
farmers in avoiding frequent maintenace or replacement. Such masonry or concrete sluices
were constructed for NAFCC project implemented in Pokkali fields (figure 10).
Apart from the involvement of Local Self Government as per provisions of Kerala Panchayati
Raj/Municipalirt Act, 1994 and rules a few other acts/rules/notification provides provisons for
conservation and management of Pokkali/Kaipad lands. These are Kerala Conservation of
Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008 (GoK), Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, Biological
Diversity Act, 2002 (GoI) along with Kerala Biological Diversity Rules, 2008 (GoK), Coastal
Aquaculture Authority Act, 2005 (GoI), Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Act, 2010, The
Kerala Tourism (Conservation and Preservation of Areas) Act, 2005, The Water (Prevention
and Controll of Pollution) Act, 1972 and CRZ notifications (GoI - 1991, 2011, 2019) issued
under the sub-section (1) of section and clause (V) of sub-section (2) of section 3 of
Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. Now CRZ notification governs management of the tidal
243 | P a g e

CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
influenced mudflats of Pokkali and kaipad, other legal instruments may have to be considered
along with this for some of the specific aspects of management like declaration of protected
areas or for prevention of Pollution.
Kerala is leading other states of India in ensuring community led planning and development
through local self government institutions (PRIs – Panchayati Raj Institutions). The PRIs
presently manage the development programmes for agriculture and allied sectors along with
other developmental areas including regulation of tourism. So LSGIs can play a key role in
implementation of various projects/schemes associated with sustainable utilization of of wetland
resources.
As per CRZ notification 2019, all the tidal influenced Pokkali/kaipad wetlands fall under CRZ-I
B category. Hence a NDZ of 50 metres from HTL boardering these wetlands are to be
demarcated. As mangroves also seen along the periphery of these wetlands, sometimes
overgrown inside the paddy wetlands, CRZ-I A category also naturally falls under these areas.
Thus two issues are to be addressed while managing Pokkali/kaipad lands where managroves
are also a component. One is the management of mangroves associated with these wetlands and
other is the livelihood issues including the housing problems along the periphery of these
wetlands in a thickly populated state of Kerala. If the bunds and sluices boardering the
Pokkali/kaipad lands with river/backwaters are considered as HTL as was recommended by
NCSCM for Kazan lands of Goa, thereby delineating the NDZ to 50 metres along these bunds,
housing and some of the livelihood issues boardering these wetands could be addressed. But it
necessitates protection of the wetland beyong 50 metres of NDZ of these HTL by invoking
provisions of other acts.
Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008 aims to regulate the conversion and
development of paddy fields and protect wetland areas in order to promote agriculture growth,
ensure food security and sustain the ecological system in the state of Kerala. If the bunds and
sluices boardering the Pokkali/kaipad lands with river/backwaters are considered as HTL, the
protection of rest of the wetland has to be brought under the purview of this act. Under such a
situation the entire Pokkali/kaipad has to be included in the data bank of paddy wetlands to
ensure its protection beyong the NDZ under CRZ of these wetlands
Existing legislations for protection and management of mangroves especially that is involved
with Pokkali/kaipad wetlands of private ownership are largely inadequate to its implementation
at field level. Indian Forest Act, 1927, Forest Conservation Act, 1980, Kerala Forest (Vesting
and Management of Ecologically Fragile Lands) Act and Kerala Promotion of Tree Growth in
Non Forest Areas Act, 2005 lagely fails to manage mangrove in Private lands and that of
Pokkali fields. The notification of community reserve as per provisions of Wildlife (Protection)
Act, 1972 as ammnded 2002 provided another option for conservation of Pokkali/Kaipad lands
with mangroves involving local people by protecting their traditional rights. Kadalundi
Vallikkunu Community Reserve in Kozhikkode & Malappuram districts includes the intertidal
zone of Kadalundi estuary. The management model adopted in Sindudurg in Maharashtra
incorporating mangrove tourism and fishery is another best example that can be adopted for
manging mangroves with active participation of local communities by ensuring increased
livelihood opportunities for them. Ecotourism activities such as mangrove walks, tree huts,
nature trails etc. subjected to ecotourism plan featuring in the approved CZMP are permitted
244 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
under proviso 5.1.1. of the notification. Management committees involving LSGs, local
stakeholders, NGOs and stakeholder departments could manage the affairs of these wetlands
with an approved management plan under CZMP.
Along with provisions of CRZ notifications, provisions of Coastal Aquaculture Authority Act,
2005 (CAA, 2005) have also to be invoked while giving registration of aquaculture farms in
Pokkali/kaipad and associated mangrove areas. Except for traditional paddy and prawn filtration
in Pokkali/kaipad system, permission should not be given to new aquaculture farms in these
wetlands and associated mangroves. Converstion of mangroves, use of exotic species and use of
certain chemical which are strictly regulated under CAA, 2005 should not be permitted.
Institutional Arrangements
The role of LSGIs for management of wetlands has been briefly stated above. To support LSGIs
for management of wetland like Pokkali/kaipad specific institutional arrangements at different
levels would be helpful. The cross sectoral and multi-stakeholder needs for wetland
management can be best served by designating a separate institution responsible for ensuring
cross sectoral coordination and balancing the interests of stakeholders while ensuring ecological
integrity of the wetland system ( Ref: MAP for Vembanad- CWRDM). For example, KADS
(Kaipad Area Development Society) with a governing body headed by Honourable Minister for
Agriculture and an Executive Committee headed by MLA are functioning for management of
kaipad wetlands of N. Kerala. Since Pokkali wetlands are more in area (8200 hactares) it would
be good to have a common institution for management of both Pokkali and Kaipad at the state
level. As various departments/agencies are involved like Agriculture, Fisheries, Forest,
Tourism, Irrigation; the governing council consisting of Ministers of these departments and an
Executive Committee consisting of Secetaries to Government and heads of the
department/agencies at state level may be constituted in place of the separate committees for
pokkali and kaipad. Distict Level Committee chaired by District Collector who is also the
Chairman of DLC of KCZMA with district level officers of all stakeholder
departments/agencies and heads of LSGs having the Pokkali/kaipad lands can be constituted at
district levels. District Level Committee can recommend and take actions for various violations
like pollutions, reclamations, encroachment etc. At the LSG level a committee headed by the
head of the concerned LSG and with implementing officers of various departments and farmers
245 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
groups/farmer representatives also can be constituted. KCZMA and DLCs of KCZMA can
guide and approve the various activities, management plans and any further delineation of
boundaries etc.to be taken up in these wetlands. A technical committee for formulating plan,
preparations projects under various schemes may also be useful for sourcing of fund.
C. Capacity Building.
Ecosystem conservation
Various Pokkali/kaipad areas associated with different back waters/river systems are to be
separately marked for preparing plans considering the ecological sensitivity, hydrological
regimes, biodiversity, wetland processes, infrastructure and socio-economic requirements for
restoration and conservation of these ecosystem entities. Some of these wetland areas like that
of the Kattampally and the wetlands upstream of Thottappally and Thanneermukkom regulators
in Alappuzha where waterflow is regulated through a barrier has to consider the operational
aspects of these regulators.
A. Management Zoning
waterfowls. Kattampally has already been identified as Important Bird Areas (IBAs with A1
criteria) by Bird life International. Such zoning would also add to the livelihood options of the
local people as has been done in Sindudurg (Maharashtra) or in Chilika Lake (Odisha).
C. Biodiversity Conservation
A detailed survey of biodiversity of various pokkali/kaipad systems have to be taken up by
Kerala State Biodiversity Board to prepare a conservation plan for biodiversity. The
Biodiversity Management Committees (BMCs) of LSGIs can take a lead role in these aspects
with support of research institutions or educational institutions. Avian diversity, mangrove
biodiversity, fishery biodiversity etc. may help to prepare the management plan for many of the
locations as cited earlier for Kattampally (an Important Bird Area) or Kadalundi-Vallikkunnnu
(Mangrove wetland famous for migratory waterfowls). This would also open up new avenues
for ecotourism or biodiversity based enterprises to the benefit of local community.
D. Management of Mangroves
Legal issues of managing mangroves were briefly discussed earlier. Growth of mangroves when
pokkali/kaipad areas are fallowed for even few years would physically and legally cause
hardship to the farmers. Thus a management plan for mangroves in and around the
Pokkali/kaipad wetlands is required at local levels. Maximum afforestation of mangroves could
be taken up on the periphery of these wetlands boardering the river or backwates. At the same
time planting should not be promoted in the fertile mudflats used for paddy farming and shrimp
filtration. Eco-tourism and farm tourism can be promoted in the Pokkali/kaipad wetlands and
associated mangrove areas. Small huts, mangrove mangrove walks, tree huts, nature trails etc as
permissible along with bird watching, ankling, sea food restaurents may be promoted as
additional livelihood options for the local people.
Sustainable utilization of wetland for agriculture, aquaculture, ecotourism and other livelihood
activities are to be promoted by proper planning and funding.
247 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
Increase awareness on pokkali/kaipad farming systems and mechanisms for increasing the area
for more production of branded eco-products that fetch high price in domestic and international
markets would grately support the farmers. Physical infrastructure like massive bunds, strong
sluices and use of saline tolerant traditional paddy varieties for farming and strictly following a
crop calendar aligned with changing ecological conditions due to climate change are much
essential for ensuring sustaibality of farming.
B. Sustainable Aquaculture
Traditional capture based aquaculture system of Pokkali/kaipad called Shrimp filtration should
continue along with paddy by following a crop calendar. To compensate the declining
recruitment of fish larvae into these wetlands, additional imputs of indigenous euryhaline
fish/shrimp varieties have to be stocked in the Padasekharams. Best aquaculture practices
suitable to these wetlands should be promoted. As fish harvested from these fields are purely
organic, a marketing strategy to get best price have to be ensured. Value added fish products
also have to be promoted.
Pokkali/kaipad wetlands adjoining rivers/backwaters and mangroves can be best utilized for eco
tourism activities like farm tourism and aquatourim. Small huts along the bunds near the sluice
gates would also give and opportunity to enjoy farming activities, back water cruice, pesca
tourism, sea food delicacies, mangrove walk, bird watching and such events. Developing an
action plan for regulating tourism below the carrying capacity is a prerequisite for ensuring
sustainable utilization of these wetlands for tourism development.
A lot of small scale industries, sometimes household industries were in existence in these areas
which have to be promoted. Value added products of rice like rice flakes, rice flour, rice bran
and value added products of shrimp like dry shrimps and fish; manufacture of bags and mats
using reed and pandanus leaves, collection and pre processing of medinal plants and ingradients
for ayurvedic products which were in vogue have to be further promoted. These would also
support tourism and increasing livelihood opportunities.
Specific project with adequate funding like that of National Adaptation Fund for Climate
Change (NAFCC) of MoEF & CC are very much required for erecting huge bunds for
protection of paddy polders and for promoting integrated farming. Suitable details on the
climate related issues of Pokkali/Kaipad has to be incorporated in State Actio Plan for Climate
Change (SAPCC) for facilitating approval of funds under United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), NAFCC, Green Climate Fund (GCF), Global
Environment Facility etc. Funding under specific programmes announced by GoI during various
periods like National Initiative for Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA), Rashtriya Krishi
248 | P a g e
July 2021
CZMP-Fisheries Sub Plan
Vikas Yojana (RKVY), Prdhan Mantri Matsya Sampadha Yojana (PMMSY), Green India
Mission etc. can be made available for implementing specific projects in Pokkali/Kaipad
wetlands. National Plan for Conservation of Aquatic Ecosystems (NPCA) is another
proggramme on which funds could be made available for various aspects of these wetlands.
Possibility of sourcing of funds from specific programmes announced by GoK like KIFFB,
Rebuild Kerala Intitive (RKI) can also be explored.
Convergence of various schemes, programmes and progencts implemented by various state
government departments like Agriculture, Fisheries, Environment & Climate Change, Animal
Husbandary, Dairy, Poultry etc. and also that of LSGIs would also could support in
implementing integrated projects for sustainable utilization of Pokkali/kaipad wetlands.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Specific action plan for reversal of the threats posed by these wetland system and
restoration of habitat.
Establishment of an instituitional mechanism for conservation and management.
Restrict development within the legal framework and ensure legal protection in case of
any delineation of NDZ of CRZ.
Ensuring Traditional Land Use pattern including mandatory crop rotation.
CONCLUSION:
Considering the unique nature of Pokkali/Kaipad farming systems like its coastal settings, high
biodiversity, ecosystem services, traditional farming practices, concerted efforts by various
stakeholders having a proper implementation and monitoring mechanisms for sustainable
utilization of these wetlands is to be adopted and the plan approved in Coastal Zone
Management Plan (CZMP) of Kerala. Promotion of traditional agriculture, aquaculture,
traditional small scale industires and ecotourism in these wetlands would help in additional
livelihood support and ensure the sustainability of these wetlands.

Annexure XVII
SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
State government has constituted a committee for preparing the Integrated Fisheries Development
Plan for incorporation into the CZMP (2019) of Kerala vide G.O (Rt) No. 290/2021/F&P dated
11/06/2021. As part of preparation of integrated fisheries development plan, it was decided to
prepare sub plans for activities in the fisheries sector. This report addresses the social infrastructure
sub plans and specific recommendations to achieve the same without compromising the true spirit of
the new CRZ notification.
INTRODUCTION
Kerala is synonymous with exotic fish varieties and fishermen constitute a larger chunk of the
population. Fishing is a traditional occupation for many in the state and fetch a huge some by export of
fish catch. Fishermen are traditionally settled in places where they could venture for fishing and land
their catches safely in a good number of days of the year.
Compared to other coastal states of the country, Kerala has large number of fishing harbours and
landing centres. These harbours are located at places where there were fishing activities in the earlier
days and a fair concentration of fishermen settlements. In the context of the coastal zone regulations
that came into existence in the country, there are several complaints from the fishermen community
basically regarding difficulty in getting their constructed houses sanction from the local body. In
several instances, the fishermen were historically residing at beaches in semi permanent dwellings
(which later would have converted into a permanent structure in the later years). One of the reasons
for this being that these dwellings were not marked in the respective town/ country planning maps of
the local self government, since majority of them were set up in Puramboke Government lands. The
demarcation of NDZ without consideration for any reference to this traditional human settlement
made things further worst.

CZMP-Kerala-Fisheries
In view of the above, it is high time that there has to be some protection mechanism made in the state
CZMP map to be prepared. Before going into the suggestions, let us discuss about the various
regulations in the just published CRZ notification 2019 that have bearing on fishermen settlements.
a. Just like the previous notifications, this notification also permits setting up of fisheries
infrastructure like fishing harbours, landing centres, auction halls, net mending sheds,
fish curing yards, hatcheries, fish processing centre etc.
b. The new CRZ notification (2019) describes various activities that are permitted in
different CRZ zones. While scrutinizing the notification, it can be seen that some of the
basic concerns of the fishermen are addressed, but require some more specific
clarification in the to-be prepared CZMP. Following paragraphs lists the social
infrastructure sub plans as addressed in the notification under various CRZ zones:
c. CRZ IA: In the ecologically sensitive areas, no relaxation for fishermen dwellings are
mentioned, but setting up of ecotourism activities are permitted. Even roads and roads
on stilts are permitted in this zone. This is brought to the attention of all.
d. CRZ IB: Hatcheries and fish drying is permitted and also expansion of fish processing
units in this region.
e. CRZ II: Dwellings and other social infrastructure components are permitted on the
landward side of existing roads and on landward side of existing buildings. However
there are specific relaxations to tourism infrastructure in this zone - development of
vacant plots in “designated areas” for construction of beach resorts/ hotels/ tourism
development projects, which are mentioned in the “approved CZMP”
f. CRZ III: Infrastructure like auction halls, fish curing yards, boat building yards etc are
allowed in the NDZ of this zone. NDZ is 50m from HTL in the in CRZ-III A (if it’s
approved in the CZMP as per the notification, failing which, a NDZ of 200 meters shall
apply). All other infrastructure including dwellings and settlements of fishermen are to
be beyond NDZ.
As mentioned earlier, fishermen are traditionally settled in safer seashores and it is quite natural that
they have to reside very close to the fishing zones/ fish landing areas. They were not settled in any
274 | P a g e
CZMP-Kerala-Fisheries
ecologically sensitive areas or other vulnerable locations. So their dwellings were mostly concentrated
in CRZ II or CRZ III areas. Almost all the fishing harbours established in the state are located either in
CRZ II or CRZ III areas only. But, what is happening in the real situation is that even persons residing
close to a fishing harbor is not able to get their dwellings legalized due to demarcation of no
development zones or other statutory lines described in the CRZ notification. Flowing points require
special attention in the preparation of CZMP for fishermen settlement.
a. Of the four CRZ zones, two zones (viz CRZ II and CRZ III) are the ones requiring most attention
region as far as the social infrastructure is concerned, as majority of the state falls in this.
b. While analyzing the specific provisions in the notification as above, it is clear that inclusion of
proper provisions in the CZMP will guarantee relief to the fishermen community, without
compromising on the basic intention of the notification.
c. CRZ II areas: As per the notification, these areas are already substantially developed up to the
shoreline and hence dwellings and social infrastructure can be created without difficulty. These
are urban areas of the state and no specific issues are anticipated unless the city/ town master
plans include the entire infrastructure in place (basically the coastal roads running parallel and
adjacent to the coast and the authorized buildings on the coasts- see 1.e above). Also in CRZ II,
care should be taken that there are no chances of conflict between the “designated tourism areas
in the approved CZMP” and the interest of the fishermen of the region- for this, CZMA may be
asked to share the already prepared tourism plan with the stakeholders in the fisheries sector.
d. CRZ III areas: This would be the area where lots of issues are expected and the basis of all issues
would be demarcation of NDZ in the approved CZMP. As clear from the section 1.f above, the NDZ
will be 200m from HTL in all areas and the same will be 50m in CRZ IIIA, if properly approved in
the CZMP. Population density of the village is the deciding factor. Unlike other states, coastal
regions of the state are thickly populated irrespective of the village. It can be easily concluded that
if the threshold population density of 2161/ sq km is not achieved in a particular region, it is
because of some geographical constraints like presence of water bodies/ wet lands/ rocky cliffs
etc. So, recalculating population density on the basis of net area of inhabitable land will resolve
this issue- proper dialog with KZMA is warranted to address this.
e. Another major issue is the difficulty in obtaining building permits for dwellings and other social
infrastructure immediately on the landward side of existing fishing harbours that are properly
protected by breakwaters. In order to safeguard the interest of the fishermen community, areas
275 | P a g e

RECOMMENDATIONS
a. Make sure that the city/ town master plans include the entire infrastructure in place
(basically the coastal roads running parallel and adjacent to the coast and the authorized
buildings on the coasts are properly marked in the CZMP).
b. KCZMA may be asked to share the already prepared tourism plan in order to make sure that
there are no chances of conflict between the “designated tourism areas in the approved
CZMP” and the interest of the fishermen of the region.
c. Recalculating population density on the basis of net area of inhabitable land with the help of
KZMA/ Town planning department in order to classify as CRZ III A/ III B.
d. Demarcating the landside of fishing harbours that are well protected by breakwaters as
fishermen settlements in order to facilitate the construction of new dwellings for
fishermen/ reconstruction of existing structures.
e. Inventory of existing hatcheries/ processing centres/ ice plants etc in government and
private sector (as documented by the fisheries department in the handbook or any other
statutory document) and location of any potential social infrastructure proposed and
already identified by the department can be shared for inclusion into the integrated plan.

The fishermen village on the south side of the estuary used to face flood waters entering the
dwellings and rehabilitation during monsoon season. A large area of the land has already been
lost to the sea.
The natural phenomenon of siltation at the river mouth forces the fishermen to depend on high
tide to cross. Migration of the river mouth from south to north and back causes confusion and
fear while navigating. Occurrence of total siltation and closure of the mouth turns out to be death
traps. Every year, with the commencement of Monsoon, the blocked estuary poses threat of flood
on the upstream side as the sand bar acts as a barrage that blocks the runoff from the river to the
sea when early monsoon storms occur in the hills.
Cutting the barrier manually to open the waterway is the practice adopted to mitigate the issue.
Temporary protection of the dwellings using sand filled bags and rehabilitation of the residents
were also done occasionally. Recently, following the death of two fishermen, government has
arranged to mechanically dredge the sand bar. Continuous dredging during storms is not a
practical and sustainable solution.
Training of the estuary is the one and only practical solution to keep the estuary open.

A groyne is a shore protection structure built perpendicular to the shoreline of the coast (or river),
over the beach and into the shore face (the area between the near shore region and the inner
continental shelf), to reduce long shore drift and trap sediments.
Groynes were originally installed along the coastline in 1915. Groynes control beach material
and prevent undermining of the promenade seawall. Groynes interrupt wave action and protect the
beach from being washed away by long shore drift. Long shore drift is the wave action that slowly
erodes the beach.

Annexure XVIII
The major stake holder sub plan overlaps/conflicts expected with Integrated Fisheries Development
Plan are with Tourism, Agriculture, Irrigation, Forest, Ports and Environment.
3.1 TOURISM
Most coastal degradation has been caused by anthropogenic actions, threatening the ecosystem
services (ESs) humans depend on. Marine protected areas are a solution to protect ESs, such as fish
stocks, although this could potentially lead to conflicts with fisheries and tourism. The coastal
tourism development plan should be always in harmony with the socio-economic activities of the
fishermen community and their livelihood. The selection of location, nature of development, extent
of conversion and change in land use pattern for tourism development are some of the factors which
may lead to conflicts with fisheries sub plan. Displacement of traditional dwellers from the
developing tourist areas, infrastructure development associated with tourism development, loss of
work places (Thozhilidangal), disparity in income levels, social tensions, tourism related pollution
of land and water bodies and associated decline of fishery resources, health issues to the coastal
communities are some of the areas of probable conflicts. There should be a healthy dialogue
between the respective stake holders so as to arrive a consensus involving the participation of local
inhabitants in the agreed areas before implementing the plans.
3.2 AGRICULTURE
The traditional integrated paddy-fish/paddy shrimp farming is an age old production system in
many parts of the world. In Kerala the traditional Pokkali/Kaipad coastal wet lands were utilized
by the local communities for the last 2000 to 4000 years for production of saline tolerant paddy
varieties and for a capture based aquaculture system known as shrimp filtration. Only one crop of
paddy is possible during the low saline phase of monsoon which is followed by shrimp filtration
during the post monsoon periods. Fish farming in paddy lands increases the fertility of the land so
that cost of paddy cultivation is reduced, production increased and in turn support additional
282 | P a g e
CZMP-Kerala-Fisheries
income generation from fishery from these paddy lands. It also improves the general fertility and
biodiversity of the wetland. Recently department of agriculture is opposing fish farming in such
wetlands of the coastal area. This conflict has to be resolved by mutual consensus of each stake
holder Department so as to support the farmers for better sustenance in production sector.
3.3 IRRIGATION
The major areas interventions of the Irrigation Department in Costal area are in Shore protection
measures and construction of saline intrusion barriers. The shore protection activities planned by
the irrigation department should always be fishermen friendly and environment friendly. The future
plans in shore protection must focus more on soft measures rather than the traditional hard
structures. The Punargaeham project of fisheries department will helps to create a buffer zone
along the cost free of settlements for adopting the soft measures such as development of bio-sheild
of economically useful plants which will also provide additional livelihood opportunities.
Appropriate location specific coastal protection measures at appropriate areas rather than resorting
to excusive uniform hard structures should be discouraged. As barriers which prevent tidal influxes
turned to be an ecological disaster in most of the areas including near termination of fisheries both
in inland and marine environs, such construction should be permitted only after detailed EIA
studies and EMP.
3.4 FOREST
Mangroves and its associate vegetation are an important ecological association in coastal wetland
ecosystem. Mangroves are also associated with Pokkali, Kaipad wetlands. Mangrove wetlands also
support fishery resources by way of its breeding, nursery and foraging grounds. It also act as a
protective sanctuary for aquatic fauna especially fish. Many of the mangrove species are also used
traditionally for various purposes like fodder, fuel wood, medicine, small-scale industries etc. Thus
management of mangroves should involve the interest of various stake holders. A management
plan for mangrove wetlands of Kerala ensuring participation of all the stake holders should be in
place so as to ensure its continued ecosystem services to the state.
283 | P a g e
CZMP-Kerala-Fisheries
3.5 PORTS
Construction of ports and its associated infrastructure cause wide changes in Coastal ecosystem
thereby affecting fishery resources and fishermen livelihood opportunities. The impact of
construction of ports on the adjoining coastal stretches is an established fact. So in future the
development of new ports and expansion existing ports has to consider the possible impacts it make
in the adjoining coastal areas and apprehensions of the stake holders. The pollution, spillage of oil,
entry of exotic invasive alien species through ships often cause serious damages to local ecology
and biodiversity. Utmost care should be taken to address these serious issues in future plans.
3.6 ENVIRONMENT
Conflicts between marine nature conservation and fishery interests are common and increasing, and
there is often a glaring lack of dialogue between stakeholders representing these two interests.
There is a need for a stronger and enforced coordination between fishing and environmental
conservation authorities when establishing marine protected areas for conservation purposes. We
propose that an appropriate instrument for such coordination is a broad ecosystem-based marine
spatial planning procedure, representing neither nature conservation nor fishery.
Any regulation or notification of the coastal area inhabited or used for livelihood has to consider the
traditional customary rights of the coastal population especially the ecosystem people-the
fishermen. In preparation of CZMP all the customary rights on land and water bodies has to be
sufficiently incorporated for conserving their resources, housing needs and associated coastal social
infrastructure. The issues arising out of global climate change has to be properly assessed and
addressed in every developmental plan for the coastal areas.

Annexure XIX
In Kerala, 80% of the total population resides in the nine coastal districts. Kerala is one among the
top states where erosion is more than 40%. The livelihood of the coastal communities in the state
are seriously affected due to natural hazards like coastal erosion, high tides, cyclones and climate
change. These make huge damages to the dwelling places of the fisher population. Every year 100s
of houses are damaged and the poor families are being forced to shift to temporary shelters. A quick
survey was conducted by the Department of Fisheries along the coastal districts to collect the data
on houses within 50m of HTL as a part of planning to implement a rehabilitation scheme in all the
coastal districts of the states for rehabilitating the residents living within 50m from HTL. A detailed
survey was also conducted on 2017-18 to collect more details regarding the inhabitants within 50m
of HTL and it is found that 18685 families are residing within 50m of HTL.
As per GO(Rt) No.1009/2019/F&PD dt: 26.12.2019 Government has granted permission for the
implementation of a project for rehabilitation of fishermen families residing within 50m High Tide
Line (HTL). The total project cost is Rs.2450 crore in which Rs.1398 crore is allocated from
CMDRF and the remaining Rs.1052 crore is allocated from the budget provision of Fisheries
Department. The project is named as ‘PUNARGAEHAM’ and is implemented in three phases. In
the first phase, the amount for the project is Rs.998.61 crore, the second phase is Rs. 796.54 crore
and the third phase is 654.85 crores. In 1st phase it is aimed to rehabilitate 8487 families, 2nd& 3rd
phase 5099 families each.
1. Rehabilitation of the fishermen families who are residing within 50 m High Tide Line
(HTL) so as to protect their life and properties
2. Completion of all the rehabilitation programmes undertaken by the Department of
Fisheries in the previous years.
285 | P a g e
CZMP-Kerala-Fisheries
3. To provide a green buffer zone within 50m High Tide Line (HTL) of the coast of entire
Kerala so as to prevent coastal erosion.
4. To provide safe housing and protection for fishermen who are in relief camps due to
coastal erosion and other disasters including cyclone.
5. To improve the socio-economic status of coastal fishermen families.
The project is proposed for providing rehabilitation of families residing within 50m of HTL and
also to provide assistance to the beneficiaries already included in the rehabilitation programmes
being implemented by the Department which are in different stages of implementation. The project
also aims for the creation of a buffer zone in the coastal belt.This is a programme in which
Government will be providing Rs.10 lakh for the purchase of land and construction of house in that
land (Rs.6 lakh for land purchase + Rs.4lakh for house construction)
Beneficiaries are selected by the District Level Approval Committee (DLAC) chaired by District
Collector. The structure of DLAC is is given below.
The purchase of the land will be done after the approval of District Level Monitoring Committee
(DLMC). Structure of the DLMC is same as DLAC. After registration of the land the documents
will be submitted to the District office for scrutiny. The procedure for providing assistance includes
four stages. An amount not exceeding 6 lakhs rupees will be provided for land value, registration
fees, stamp duty etc. and 4 lakh rupees will be for house construction. Eventhough the amount used
for land purchase is lesser than 6 lakhs, then also the remaining amount can be used for house
construction along with 4 lakhs. The land value will be given to the owner of the land and the
registration expenditure will be given to the beneficiary (Fishermen) through DBT. The remaining
286 | P a g e
CZMP-Kerala-Fisheries
amount in 10 lakh after the purchase of land will be given to the beneficiary for house construction.
The amount for house construction will be provided in the ratio of 40:40:20 after receiving the stage
certificate provided by the Matsyabhavan officer. The old house situated within 50m HTL must be
demolished and the land must be relinquished.
Provision for purchase of land including house is also there in the project. The suitability of the land
will be checked by Inter Departmental Team and the durability of the building will be checked by a
Technical Committee which includethe Matsyabhavan officer and officer of HED or LSGD, not
below the rank of Assistant Engineer. The assistance of 10 lakh rupees will be provided after
DLMC approval. There is a provision for registering land in the name of a residents group.
Beneficiaries can form a group and each member will receive maximum of 10 lakh rupees for
construction of flat apartments.
The project also aims the rehabilitation of beneficiaries through the construction of flat complexes
either in Government land or by purchase of private lands.
The project implementation will be strictly monitored for the time bound execution and completion
by the following bodies.
287 | P a g e
CZMP-Kerala-Fisheries
The Department Level Steering Committee shall be convened bi-weekly to review the
progress of the implementation of the project and to decide on the matters pertaining to
the implementation of the project placed by the State Level Project Co-ordinator and
