1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

“Assessment of Impacts on fish production due to development of the proposed

All Weather Captive Jetty” proposed at village Nandgaon Maharashtra required as a part

of the Environmental Impact Assessment study has been undertaken by the Mumbai

Research Centre of ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute for JSW

Infrastructure Limited, JSW Centre, Bandra Kurla Complex, Bandra (East), Mumbai 400

051.

This rapid report is formulated based on the data collected from primary and

secondary resources in the month of April and May 2015. Water, sediment and fish

samples were collected in situ from the three locations near proposed project site viz.

Alewadi, Navapur and Nandgaon. Data of environmental parameters has also been

collected and analysed further.

Results & observations are presented in the form of figures and tables whenever

required. Information on demographic profile of the fishing villages in the vicinity of the

project area has been tabulated from the secondary source i.e., Marine Fisheries Census

2010. Data of biological parameters of water and sediments are presented in tabular

form. The fishery observations made at Alewadi & Navapur landing centre. Fish samples

were collected from local fishers and fishing by using traditional shore seines & lift net

namely Gholwa, Vedi and Magh. Single day dol net fishing samples were also collected

from Navapur landing centre for further laboratory analysis. Fish samples were

identified up to species level.

2. BACKGROUND

JSW Group is one of the fastest growing business conglomerates with a strong

presence in the core economic sector. This enterprise has grown from a steel rolling mill

in 1982 to a multi business conglomerate within a short span of time.

JSW Group has diversified interests in Steel, Energy, Minerals and Mining,

Aluminum, Infrastructure, Cement and Information Technology.

JSW Steel Limited (JSWSL) the flag ship company of JSW group is one of the

largest steel producers of the Country. The company has manufacturing facilities

located at Vijayanagar in Karnataka, Salem in Tamil Nadu Vasind, Tarapur and Dolvi,

Kalmeshwar in Maharashtra and is in process of expanding further. The product range

includes Pellets, Slabs, HRC, HR Plates / Sheets, CR Coils, GP/GC and Colour Coated

Coils/Sheets, Bars, Rounds & Reinforcement bars.

The JSW Infrastructure Ltd (JSWIL) is a JSW Group company which is presently

into development of ports, rail/road and inland water connectivity, development of port

based SEZ and other related infrastructure developments works along with terminal

handling operations and port management.

Presently the raw materials for the plants at Tarapur, Kamleshwar and Vasind,

are being handled at various places on a make shift basis and therefore bringing in

uncertainties in supply and increase in the cost. Hence, JSW is desirous of consolidating

its group cargo and develop a jetty at village Nandgaon, district Palghar, Maharashtra

for handling its group cargoes.

JSW Infrastructure Limited approached ICAR-CMFRI to assess impacts on fish

production due to the development of the proposed All weather captive jetty at

Nandgaon, District Palghar.

A study on assessment of impacts on fish production broadly covers following

aspects;

6

- Demographic profile of the fishers in nearby fishing villages

- Water quality

- Sediment quality

- Biological aspects (chlorophyll, plankton and benthos)

- Fishing activities and fishery

- Fish catch and resources

The objective of the study is:

To analyse the fishery potential of the area

To assess fish ecology and fish diversity

To identify the fish landing centres and the high economy yielding species

To assess any impact in the fishing pattern/ potential due to the development

To assess quantum of loss of income, if any

To suggest a compensatory plan for the loss of livelihood, if any identified

during the study

To suggest a compensatory plan for loss or damage to the fishing nets and

related accessories, if any.

4. RESULTS

4.1 Environmental and water parameters:

Environmental and physico-chemical parameters were analysed in the

laboratory and results tabulated in Table 2. The results showed that the pH range was

from 7.94 to 8.35 found to be within optimum pH range. The Dissolved Oxygen level

was found to be within the optimum limits from 2.4 to 4.0 ppm or mg/l. The salinity was

fluctuating between 33.48-35.3 ppt; conductivity ranged between 52.4 to 54.87 ms/cm.

Colour of the near shore water was black to brown with a strong stinking & chemical

odour.

Total dissolved solids and total suspended solids content in sea water samples

ranged between 47.12 to 50.46 ppt and 0.22 to 0.56 ppt respectively. Sea water

turbidity fluctuated between 28.6 to 45.7 NTU. Nutrients play a crucial role in the

primary productivity of sea water. Nutrients such as phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, silicate

were analysed from water samples and tabulated in Table 2.

4.2 Biological:

Chlorophyll content was estimated and found to be ranging between 8.57 to

16.39 mg/m3. Escherichia coli, a faecal coliform bacteria was absent in the samples

collected during rapid survey whereas Total Viable Count and Total Coliform Forming

ranged between 103 to 106 and absent to 102 respectively.

Phytoplankton diversity and abundance studies were undertaken for the

collected water samples from selected locations. Laboratory analysis revealed the

presence of 12 phytoplankton species in the sea water samples. Species recorded

during rapid survey were Thalassioira decipiens, Navicula distans, Skeletonema

costatum, Coscinodiscus granii, Scrippsiella trochoidea, Guinardia delicatula,

Trichodesmium erythraeum, Odontella sinenis, Navicula clavata, Gonyaulax polygramma,

Diploneis sp. and Amphora sp. Thalassiosira decipiens was major phytoplankton species

recorded followed by Skeletonema costatum.

14

4.3 Fishery:

Fish samples were collected by operating shore seine near project site and single

day dol net landings at Navapur landing centre. Fish samples were further analysed in

laboratory. Fish species richness (S) was 25 during rapid survey conducted in the

proposed project location (Table 3).

Fish samples represented by 12 species of finfishes, 11 species of crustaceans

and two species of Mollusca.

5. FURTHER STUDIES

The report enumerates the studies carried out for two months for collection of physico-

chemical and biological of water and sediments. Experimental fishing was carried out

around the project site. Further data collection and analysis is in the streamline. The

proposed study is to be extended over a period of 12 months so as collect data for the

entire fishing cycle.

The present study can be considered as micro representation of the potential of the

region. The landing majorly consists of fish belonging to Otolithes spp, Coilia dussumieri,

and mix of small prawn and large prawn species and some clupeids.

Further study is being carried out to identify the fishing pockets, fishing areas and

landing centres.

Methodology for sustainable development would be suggested such that there is no or

minimal loss to the potential fishing grounds. CMFRI also proposes to submit a plan for

the compensation to the fisher folk in a possibility of the loss or damage to the fishing

gears and crafts due to port operation activities.
