3381. Several autonomous and statutory bodies under the Government of West Bengal haveimportant roles/responsibilities in specified areas of coastal zone management:82. West Bengal Biodiversity Board (WBBB) was established in 2004 in compliancewith the Biodiversity Act, 2002 as a statutory body under Department of Environment,Government of West Bengal. Documenting biodiversity and associated traditional knowledgeenforcing restriction on usage of biological resources, promoting conservation andsustainable use of biological resources are some of the major mandates of WBBB.83. West Bengal Pollution Control Board (WBPCB) is a statutory authority entrustedto implement environmental laws and rules within the jurisdiction of the state of WestBengal. Amongst its responsibilities, the most important one is with respect to monitoring ofwater quality in coastal rivers, lakes and seas, inventorisation of polluting industries in thecoastal zone and ensuring their compliance to the pollution control norms especially forindustries discharging wastewater into the coastal waters through regulation of the relevantenvironmental permits84. Institute of Environmental Studies and Wetland Management (IESWM) wasestablished in March, 1986 with the primary objective of carrying out studies related towetland functions and its ecology including the coastal wetlands. Ministry of Environment &Forest, Government of India declared this Institute as an authorised agency for demarcationof High Tide Line, Low Tide Line along the entire Indian Coast, thus upgrading it to anational stature. The maps prepared by this Institute helped many Government, Intergovernmentalagencies and Industries to carry out their planned development programmes incoastal areas following proper environmental rules and regulations. To its credit, it hasstandardised the technique for mangrove assemblage zonation which helps in baselinedatabase creation about the mangroves in Sundarban (which is extremely inaccessible) andAndamans. The Institute is equipped with all modern equipments for survey with DGPS(both single frequency and dual frequency), Total station etc. Works have been carried outhere using GIS softwares like ARC GIS (version 9.1), Arc view, Arc Map, AutoCad Map,Map Object 2.4; Remote Sensing softwares like ERDAS Imagine, PCI Geomatica,Geomedia" etc.85. Digha-Sankarpur Development Authority (DSDA) was established in 1993 underthe Town and Country Planning Act in the Department of Urban Development. The33
34Authority has been given wide ranging power to plan and implement schemes forimprovement of urban infrastructure in the coastal town. Presently the Authority hasjurisdiction over 42 mouzas.86. Marine Science Department, University of Kolkata was established in 1983. TheDepartment is active in the field of research on biodiversity of mangrove ecosystem, ecologyof phytoplankton and zooplankton, pollution in coastal environment, etc.87. School of Oceanography, Jadavpur University was set up in 1988 with theobjective of manpower training and multidisciplinary research on ocean sciences andtechnology. The School has already undertaken important programmes in teaching, researchand manpower training. It was selected in 1999 as the lead centre in India for a collaborativeprogramme with the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, under the DFID programme,for setting up a centre for "Integrated Coastal Zone Management Training".88. River Research Institute, West Bengal, was established in 1943. It is a premierresearch institute on hydraulics, soil mechanics, hydrology and statistics, under Irrigation andWaterways Department, Govt. of West Bengal. In general they provide the scientific andtechnological input to I & W department in its engineering works in coastal region.89. Sea Explorer Institute founded in 1986 has been championing the spirit of adventureand sport for the last 20 years. Nearly 9,000 students have undergone training in adventuresports and training courses offered by the institute. As the name suggests, the instituteprincipally focuses on marine activities. A notable feature of the Sea Explorers‟ Institute isthat it attempts to temper adventure with a sense of responsibility for the marineenvironment. Indeed, all the expeditions (10 to date) have had a very strong marine researchorientation. The Sundarban expedition studied the effect of pollutants in water at differentspots in the estuaries.D.3 Status of Implementation90. For proposals of developmental activities the provisions of CRZ act are met throughpreparation of a coastal zone management plan (of the relevant part of the coastal zone) thatdelineates in appropriate scale the LTL, HTL, CRZ I, II and III, the 500 and 200m line alongthe open coast and width of the river or not less than 100m whichever is lower for coastalrivers. The lay out plans of proposals of developmental activities are evaluated to see34
