Coastal Zone Management using Geospatial Technology
There was a island called New Moore island in the Bay of Bengal. It emerged in the Bay of Bengal in the aftermath of the Bhola cyclone in 1970, and disappeared at some later point. Although the island was uninhabited and there were no permanent settlements or stations located on it, both India and Bangladesh claimed sovereignty over it because of speculation over the existence of oil and natural gas in the region. The island disappeared and the sea level rise caused by climate change was a factor. This was an eye opening incident for Indian government. India with a vast coastline stretching to about 7,517 km forms an important economic zone and has lot at stake. With 77 cities that lie on the coastline including some very important commercial port towns and cities such as Mumbai, Kolkata, Cochin, Chennai and Visakhapatnam. Under the 'Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project' the Government of India had carried out mapping and demarcating of multi-hazard coastal vulnerability for the entire coast of India. Hazard mapping survey, aerial photography and satellite data are used as a technology input for the project. Mapping delineation and demarcation of environmentally sensitive areas is conducted.
