Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ)
Due to continuous onslaught on the coastal areas, the extent of mangroves, coral reefs and fish breeding gets diminished adversely impacting the livelihood of 200 million people who live along the 7,517 kilometre-long coastline of our country.
With the objective of conservation and protection of the coastal environment, Ministry of Environment and Forest and Climate Change notified the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification in 1991, which was subsequently revised in 2011 and 2019 (Draft).
CRZ consists of coastal land up to 500 metres from the High Tide Line (HTL) and a stage of 100 metres along the banks of creeks, estuaries, backwater and rivers where tidal fluctuations occur.
CRZ area are classified as CRZ-I (ecologically sensitive areas), CRZ-II (built-up areas), CRZ-III (rural areas) and CRZ-IV (water areas) and V category of areas requiring special permissions.
IGRI has a long history of working in this area especially w.r.t. coordinating CRZ related reports for salt work industries, Jetty and Backwaters and other industries falling within the limits of 500 mtr zone of CRZ boundary. We have so far coordinated more than 50 CRZ reports and many of whose clearance is under process.
