Subject: Turtles
Dear Vikas Thakur,
Despite opposition, Tata is about to complete the construction of the Dhamra port in Orissa. The port is dangerously close to dense mangrove forests and breeding and nesting grounds of Olive Ridley turtles.
Shockingly, over 300 ports are proposed on India's coast, many in and around mangroves, breeding grounds for turtles, horseshoe crabs and other marine creatures.
Minister of Environment Jairam Ramesh needs to ban the construction of new ports and expansion of existing ones in eco-sensitive areas in the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) notification. He made a commitment to protect our coasts and we have to remind him to stick to it.
Can you write to Jairam Ramesh asking him to strengthen the law and save our coasts?

The CRZ notification was issued in 1991 to protect the Indian coast. But since then it has only been weakened to suit commercial and political interests and most violators have not been punished.
Last year, the government and environment minister Jairam Ramesh promised to strengthen the notification. It's now time to ask him to live up to his promise
To make sure that this law actually protects coastal diversity, Jairam Ramesh needs to introduce a clause prohibiting the construction of new ports and the expansion of existing ones near ecologically sensitive areas in the new CRZ notification.
Write to the minister to make him keep his promise. Click here:
