The authority has recommended that the Kochi Corporation could approach the Department of Social Forestry to monitor and implement the compensatory afforestation programme.

The Kerala State Coastal Zone Management Authority (KSCZMA) has directed the Kochi Corporation to submit a proposal for a large-scale afforestation programme to compensate the loss of about 16,000 square metre of coastal regulation zone (CRZ) area for its sewage treatment plant (STP) at Mundamveli.
