Likely Impact of Industries on Traditional Fishing in Mundra Coast

Likely Impact of Adanis' Port and SEZ on 10 Traditional Fishing Settlements. Directly Affected population - Nearly 10000 people.

1. Boat Fishing would be completely stopped as Fisherfolk are likely to be physically displaced from their settlement as the intertidal area is marked for development of Port Backup / SEZ in the project plan.

2. Fisherfolks' access road to the Bander is likely to be blocked due to restrictions imposed for the port/SEZ.

3. Fishing would be affected due to Desalination plants proposed near the coast.

4. Fishing in the region would be affected due to dumping of hazardous wastes from the two Shipping yards proposed.

5. Pagadiya Fishing will be completely stopped as access roads to Fishing grounds will be blocked to restrictions imposed by SEZ and intertidal zone will be filled up.
