INTEGRATED COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT PROJECT, WEST BENGAL
FIRST TRAINING PROGRAMME ON INTEGRATED COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT
STATE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
Introduction:
Coastal zone is the interface where land meets the ocean, encompassing
the shoreline environment as well as the adjacent coastal waters. Its
components include river deltas, coastal plains, wetlands, estuaries, beaches
and sand dunes, coral reefs, mangrove forests, lagoons, and other coastal
features. Increase in the density of human population and unplanned
developmental activities within the coastal areas of India have led to over
exploitation of terrestrial and aquatic resources. Exploitation of coastal
resources in an unbridled manner has resulted in resource-use conflict and
threatens the very existence of coastal habitats intertwined with flora and fauna.
The Integrated Coastal Zone Management project aims to build state level
capacity to manage such coastal zone issues.
Majority of the populace in the coastal areas belong below to the subsistence
level and depend primarily on the coastal resources for their livelihood. It has
therefore become a challenge for the managers to find out effective means to
ensure steady supply of the natural resources through conservation
management practices without hampering the health of the related ecosystems
and also to support sustainable development and for this the community people
need to be sensitized and involved also to manage their livelihood and improve
the quality of life while maintaining the coastal ecological balance and
biodiversity.
Target Area
The coastal population of West Bengal is around 2.47 million lives in the
three coastal districts i.e. South and North 24 Parganas and Purba (East)
Medinipur. The per capita real income in these three coastal districts as per
2003-04 prices is South 24 Parganas: INR 17759.77, North 24 Parganas: INR
16502.79 and in Purba (East) Medinipur: INR 20914.35. Active fishermen
constituted 26% of the marine fisher folk population, of which 72% were full
time fishermen, 22% were part time fishermen and the remaining 6% were
occasional. In West Bengal 31% of the fishermen possessed primary level of
education, 13% secondary level and 2% possessed above secondary level of
education. About 54% of the fishermen populations have no formal education.
West Bengal is having the largest 4.05 lakh ha of brackish water flooded area
in India of which 2.1 lakh ha is ideal for shrimp farming. These could make
three coastal districts viz. North 24 Parganas (1.10 lakh ha), South 24 Parganas
(0.7 lakh ha) and Purba Medinipur (0.3 lakh ha) among the most prosperous in
India. In spite of abundant resource availability, development has not taken
place in an equitous manner.
Training Objectives
The purpose of the programme is to augment awareness on the
conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity as well as the
significance of coastal zone management in West Bengal for sustainable
livelihood, food security and bio-happiness. The first training in this regard to the
State Government Officials of West Bengal is aimed to impart a first hand
knowledge to the managers and the would be managers on the various issues
related to the coastal and marine biotic and abiotic resources available in general
and in the coastal areas of West Bengal in particular. Such as, livelihood
practices of the coastal people, exploitation of the those resources by man and
the coastal people in particular, the nature and the categories of the stake holders
both primary and secondary of these natural resources, hazards and threats both
natural and anthropogenic on these resources and their resultant depletion,
impact of all such on the marine / coastal ecosystems and the biotic resources in
particular and other related issues. However the principle objective of this
training is to communicate and discuss on the probable management procedures
on remedial measures for sustainable utilization of the available resources and
their conservation without further degradation. Training on-field has also been
included in this training programme to gain glimpses of the state of affairs on the
coastal areas in and around Digha. This programme is meant for developing and
following a pro-nature, pro-poor, pro-women and pro-sustainable on-farm and
non-farm livelihoods with the objectives of implementation of appropriate eco-
technologies and knowledge empowerment methodologies targeted towards the
primary stake holders who are dependent on coastal bio-resources.
Focus Group
The beneficiaries of the State Government Officials of West Bengal in this
training course are field and implementing level staff of various Govt.
Departments who are directly or indirectly involved in coastal zone
management of the coastal regions of West Bengal. The participating
government departments are Fisheries Department, Forests Department,
Environment Department, State Pollution Control Board, Public Health
Department, Education Department, Tourism Department, Police Department,
Municipal Offices, Development Authorities of coastal regions, and other
related public departments.
The Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India has
obtained a credit from the International Development Association of the World
Bank for Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project in India. The
Government of West Bengal is also a recipient of the credit and is to implement
the relevant part of the Project in West Bengal during the next five years. The
project is implemented through the Institute of Environmental Studies and
Wetland Management (IESWM), Department of Environment, Government of
West Bengal as State Project Management Unit. The project is being
implemented through ten different Project Execution Agencies (PEAs).
Zoological Survey of India is entrusted in this project for modernization of
aquarium, setting up of museum and interpretation centre as well as training
facilities at Marine Aquarium and Regional Centre at Digha. The training on
ICZM for primary stakeholders and State Govt. officials is one of the
components under this project.
