Key Outputs

y 26 primary and 58 sub-cells delineated along the east and west coast of the mainland of India. (West coast: 10 primary cells: 21 sub-cells; East coast: 16 primary cells and 37 sub-cells). y Technical report highlighting the process, details, and outcomes. y A comprehensive sediment cells atlas was generated. y Training workshop on sediment cells concept conducted for capacity building.

The NCSCM organized a workshop to train participants on the sediment cell concept, delineation methodology and its significance in coastal management activities. Nearly 40 participants with representatives from NCESS-Trivandrum, College of Fisheries-Mangalore, state project management units of Odisha, West Bengal, Pondicherry, Goa, Tamil Nadu, MSSRF, technical personnel from The World Bank and SICOM, New Delhi participated in the training programme. The workshop also provided the participants with hands-on experience with the delineation of sediment cells, shoreline change analysis, and identification and mapping of ESA (Ecologically Sensitive Areas) along the Indian coast. Outcomes Achieved

The delineated primary and sub-cell locations were used in the preparation of ICZM plans including SMP’s for 4 coastal stretches of which two were in Odisha (Gopalpur to Chilika Lake and Paradip to Dhamra) and two in West Bengal namely Digha to Sankarpur and Sagar Island. As management units (MU) are dynamic and changes are mapped on an annual scale, various plans of ICZM such as livelihood plan, conservation plan, mitigation plan, resource management plan, disaster management plan and so on were attempted using MU. The ICZM plans for the other 7 coastal states are planned to be attempted under the ENCORE project in the subsequent period for selected coastal stretches Contact Information

SP3 Financial

SP4 Data The example resulted in the release of a comprehensive sediment cells atlas. The geospatial information delivered through the exercise was assimilated, managed and maintained in a systematic manner.

SP7 Partnerships

SP8 Capacity and Education ICZM Project is implemented with financial assistance from the World Bank. The Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Project, on a pilot basis, will be implemented in three States i.e. Gujarat, West Bengal and Orissa. The pilot project will be funded by the World Bank through the Ministry of Forest & Environment, Government of India.

The different types of organizations involved in the project exemplify cross-sector cooperation. NCSCM conducted a training workshop on sediment cells concept, delineation methodology and its significance in coastal management activities with nearly 40 participants. The workshop provided the participants with hands-on experience with the delineation of sediment cells, shoreline change analysis, and identification and mapping of ESA (Ecologically Sensitive Areas) along the Indian coast.
