The Government of India, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, through File Number 12-5/2018-IA-III dated 24 October 2018, approved the Coastal Zone Management Plan for the Union Territory of Daman & Diu.

What the document does
The Government of India, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, issued File Number 12-5/2018-IA-III on 24 October 2018 to the Member Secretary of the Daman & Diu Coastal Zone Management Authority and the Member Secretary of the Pollution Control Committee of the Union Territory Administration of Daman & Diu.
The letter conveys the Ministry's approval of the Coastal Zone Management Plan for the Union Territory of Daman & Diu. The plan was prepared under the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification, 2011.
Basis for approval
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change records that its approval was based on:
- The recommendation of the National Coastal Zone Management Authority at its 35th meeting held on 24 September 2018.
- The recommendation of the Technical Scrutiny Committee at the National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management, Chennai, made on 11 September 2018.
- Correspondence concerning the plan dated 10 May 2018 and 12 October 2018.
- Approval from the competent authority.
Who is affected
The approved Coastal Zone Management Plan applies to the Union Territory of Daman & Diu. It is relevant to the Union Territory's coastal zone authorities, administration and persons dealing with coastal land there.
The letter does not approve a Coastal Zone Management Plan for Tamil Nadu. The National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management at the Anna University Campus in Chennai received a copy, and the Technical Scrutiny Committee met in Chennai, but those references do not extend the Daman & Diu plan to Tamil Nadu land.
What the page does not provide
The supplied page is an approval communication. It does not reproduce the Coastal Zone Management Plan, coastal maps, zone boundaries, property classifications or development conditions. A buyer or owner seeking information about a particular plot in Daman & Diu would therefore need the approved plan itself to determine how the land is classified. For property in Tamil Nadu, this letter provides no plot level classification or approval.
