CRZ Regulations #IMPORTANT
Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) along the country has been placed in four categories, which are as follows
• CRZ I - Ecologically sensitive areas Areas like mangroves, coral reefs, biosphere reserves etc. No new construction shall be permitted in CRZ-I except Projects relating to the Department of Atomic Energy; Construction of trans-harbour sea link and roads without affecting the tidal flow of water, between LTL and HTL etc. Between Low Tide Line and High Tide Line in areas which are not ecologically sensitive, the following may be permitted - Exploration and extraction of natural gas; Construction of basic amenities like schools, roads, etc. for traditional inhabitants living within the biosphere reserves; Salt harvesting by solar evaporation of seawater; Desalination plants; Storage of non-hazardous cargo such as edible oil, fertilizers within notified ports.
• CRZ II - Shore Line Areas - (Areas which are developed up to the shoreline and falling within the municipal limits; includes built-up area – villages and towns are that are already well established). Buildings are permissible on the landward side of the hazardous line. Other activities such as desalination plants are also permissible. Some construction is permitted only as per guidelines specified by the notification.
• CRZ III - Undisturbed Areas - Areas that are relatively undisturbed and do not fall under either in Category I or II and also include rural and urban areas that are not substantially developed. Between 0-200 metres from HTL is a No Development Zone where no
construction shall be permitted. Only certain activities relating to agriculture, forestry, projects of Department of Atomic Energy, mining of rare minerals, salt manufacture, regasification of petroleum products, non-conventional energy sources and certain public
facilities may be permitted in this zone. Between 200-500 metres of HTL, those permitted in 0-200 metres zone, construction of houses for local communities and tourism projects are permissible.
• CRZ IV - Territorial Area - The aquatic area from low tide line up to territorial limits is classified as CRZ-IV including the area of the tidal influenced water body. There is no restriction on the traditional fishing undertaken by local communities. No untreated sewage or solid waste shall be let off or dumped in these areas.
