Vizhinjam Port’s impact on marine life and coastal communities
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- The rich marine ecosystem of Vizhinjam, Kerala is under threat due to the construction of the Vizhinjam international seaport by Adani Ports under a public-private partnership model with the government of Kerala.
“ ... This area is home to 400 different types of crabs. So, it is in such a biodiverse area with a variety of species, including between species and within species, that the dredging and groyne construction is going on,” says Johnson Jament, a research associate at the School of Global Studies, University of Sussex.
“This is to be viewed as not a developmental project but an ecological disaster,” notes Thara K G, former head of the Disaster Management Centre at the Kerala government’s Institute of Land and Disaster Management.
Environment and citizen activists have also raised questions on procedural lapses that led to getting environmental clearances on the project. Several years into the project, environment activists allege that the construction has led to a decline in the marine ecosystem and exacerbated coastal erosion in the region.

A desperate bid for monetary gains, A difinate disaster in the making,i strongly urge the kerala government to save the country's fishing sector and the ecology 🤲
Fake news.
Fake video of Vizhinjam sea. The video may be of Lakshadweep sea or Maldives
Why are you silent about the anxilliary job creation in hotel and logistics industry. The sons of the soil is most benefitted. What about the real estate boom within 10 kms radius. Why only project Adanis profit. Does the ecosystem near big ports world over have deteriorated.
