Sir,
Sub: NAFCC – Protection of Vaan Island in Gulf of Mannar - Project titled
“Management and rehabilitation of coastal habitats and biodiversity for Climate
Change Adaptation and Sustainable Livelihood in Gulf of Mannar, Tamil Nadu,
India” – Artificial reef deployment - regarding.
Xxx
The Project on “Management and rehabilitation of coastal habitats and biodiversity for
Climate Change Adaptation and Sustainable Livelihood in Gulf of Mannar, Tamil Nadu, India” has
been approved by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Government of
India, under the Grants-in-Aid component of the National Adaptation Fund for Climate Change
(NAFCC) and administrative approval has been issued. Among other things, the pilot project
includes the deployment of 705 numbers of artificial reef modules and the deployment of 3895
numbers of artificial reef modules out of total 10600 AR modules have already been deployed in
the project site, at a selective location based on the bathymetry and wave dynamics studies by
IIT. Now it is decided to further deploy 6000 numbers of Artificial Reef (AR) modules under
phase III activities which need to be implemented to protect and restore the sinking Vaan island
and conserve the marine biodiversity of the Vaan island based on the pilot project and Phase II
project as per the technical design of IIT Madras.
2) “Artificial Reef Deployment” under the project “Management and rehabilitation of
coastal habitats and biodiversity for Climate Change Adaptation and Sustainable Livelihood in
Gulf of Mannar, Tamil Nadu, - Production and Deployment of 6,000 numbers of Artificial
reef modules. Out of the 6000 Nos. of Artificial Reef Modules, 2400 Nos. are with the
size of each module as designed by IIT Madras: 2.5 m width, 1.0 m height and 1.0 m
longitudinal length. The remaining 3,600 Nos. Artificial Reef modules are with the size
.2.
of each module as designed by IIT Madras: 2.5 m width, 2.0 m height and 1.0 m

DRAFT TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR THE “ARTIFICIAL REEF DEPLOYMENT” under
the project “PROTECTION OF VAAN ISLAND IN GULF OF MANNAR”
1. Background
The coastline of Tamil Nadu has a length of about 1076 kms and constitutes about
15% of the coastal length of India. With a view to ensure livelihood security to the fishing
communities and other local communities living in the coastal areas; to conserve and
protect coastal stretches, Government of India have promulgated Coastal Regulation Zone
Notification 2011 on 6th January 2011, in supersession of Coastal Regulation Zone
Notification 1991.
ii) The Government of India, in exercise of the powers conferred under the
Environment (Protection) Act 1986, had constituted Tamil Nadu State Coastal Zone
Management Authority under the Chairmanship of Secretary to Government, Environment
and Forests Department to take measures for protecting and improving the quality of
Coastal Environment and preventing, abating and controlling Environmental Pollution in the
coastal areas of the State of Tamil Nadu and the Authority in performing its designated
responsibilities such as,
a) demarcation of High Tide Line and Low Tide Line
b) taking suitable action on the implementation and monitoring of the provisions of the
Coastal Regulation zone
c) Research Development works including Training
d) identifying and implementing coastal conservation programmes and projects
iii)Accordingly the Government of Tamil Nadu has issued orders in GO. Ms.No. 166
E&F Department dated 20.07.1999.
2. Introduction of the Project:
The Project on “Management and rehabilitation of coastal habitats and biodiversity
for Climate Change Adaptation and Sustainable Livelihood in Gulf of Mannar, Tamil Nadu,
India” has been approved by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate
.19.
Change, Government of India, under the Grants-in-Aid component of the National
Adaptation Fund for Climate Change (NAFCC) and administrative approval has been issued.
Among other things, the pilot project includes the deployment of 705 numbers of artificial
reef modules and the deployment of 3895 numbers of artificial reef modules out of total
10600 AR modules have already been deployed in the project site, at a selective location
based on the bathymetry and wave dynamics studies by IIT. Now it is decided to further
deploy 6000 numbers of Artificial Reef (AR) modules under phase III activities which
need to be implemented to protect and restore the sinking Vaan island and conserve the
marine biodiversity of the Vaan island based on the pilot project and Phase II project as
per the technical design of IIT Madras.
3.Objectives:
a) Conservation and protection of Vaan Island and the surrounding coral reefs and
associated biodiversity in Gulf of Mannar.
b) Deployment of artificial reefs along outside coral reef areas in the Marine
National Park in the seaward side of the Vaan Island to reduce the effect of
currents and waves and to enhance fish habitats for higher fish production and
protection of fish diversity.
4. Protection Measures:
a) The immediate interventions like coral rehabilitation in the degraded areas within
Marine National Park and deployment of Artificial Reefs at outside the coral reef
areas in the Marine National Park in the seaward side of the Vaan Island would help
to reduce the impact of strong waves and currents.
b) The deployment of Artificial Reefs at outside the coral reef areas in the marine
national park would also help to increase the fishery production and sustained
livelihood of traditional fisher folk from nearby villages.
.20.
c) Long term protection measures include thorough seasonal studies geomorphology,
currents, waves and sedimentation in the entire Gulf of Mannar coast and islands
and charting out further additional interventions.
5. Project Activity:
a) The deployment of AR modules are in 2 layers in a zigzag (staggered) of AR units
with a gap of 25m around 250m from the periphery of Vaan island so as to form a
continuous curve approximating a near circular curve. The first layer from the
island is with 16 blocks (each block will have 400 Nos. of AR modules) and the
second layer is with 15 blocks (each block will have 280 Nos. of AR modules).
b) During pilot and second phases of the project, 10 blocks in the first layer and 2
blocks in the second layer were deployed with AR modules.
The major activities of the present work are listed below:
a) Production and Deployment of 6,000 numbers of Artificial reef modules.
b) Out of the 6000 Nos. of Artificial Reef Modules, 2400 Nos. are with the size
of each module as designed by IIT Madras: 2.5 m width, 1.0 m height and
1.0 m longitudinal length and shall be deployed in the first layer. The
weight of 1 artificial module produced with 2.0 m height in the pilot scale
project was about 1.8 tonnes.
c) The remaining 3,600 Nos. Artificial Reef modules are with the size of each
module as designed by IIT Madras: 2.5 m width, 2.0 m height and 1.0
d) m longitudinal length and shall be deployed in the second layer.
e) The diagrams and details of Artificial modules designed by the IIT Madras
and deployment location in the seaward side parallel to Vaan Island are
enclosed (Annexure II).
