ON PORTS AND HARBOURS
Being the gateway of trade and commerce a huge quantity of materials
are transported/transferred through ports and harbours and thus these zones form
important sources of coastal pollution at fixed locations along the coast. Studies
have been undertaken on the state of dock water and sediment quality, ship breaking
activities including the import and transfer of hazardous substances in Calcutta,
Haldia and Paradeep ports and a comprehensive report has been prepared with suggesting
various control measures. |
