Coastal zone management in Sri Lanka: A lesson after recent naval accidents
2022
Ratnayake, Amila Sandaruwan | Perera, U.L.H.P.
Sri Lanka is positioned as an important hub for international shipping. The recent naval accidents of MT New Diamond (in 2020) and MV X-Press Pearl (in 2021) suggest that the country is at risk for future maritime environmental disasters. However, Sri Lanka still has no adequate planning and regulation at the national policy level. Therefore, the objective of the current study is to formulate a national policy and contingency plan to augment maritime safety. This paper proposed the framework for the integrated coastal zone management in Sri Lanka, based on the national acts and laws, existing regulations, and analysis of international experiences. The integrated coastal zone management framework is proposed into four hierarchical levels. The proposed framework establishes a permanent coordination and management system for environmental assessment and sustainability of the coastal zone. This article describes requirements for coastal zone management, reasons for failures during recent naval accidents, possible drawbacks of implementing an integrated coastal zone management framework in Sri Lanka, and ways to overcome these challenges.
