The Special Bench of the National Green Tribunal has directed the Coastal Aquaculture Authority (CAA), Chennai, to put an end to all illegal coastal aquaculture activities in its jurisdiction being carried out without registration or in violation of the Coastal Aquaculture Authority Act, 2005. The Bench noted that enforcement was “highly inadequate” at the moment and unregistered aquaculture activities were found in abundance.
The Bench directed the authority to initiate prosecution against the violators and assess compensation for past violations.
