Environmental Impact Assessment for proposed Sethusamudram Ship Channel Project [1]

The Sethusamudram Ship Channel Project under the consideration of the Ministry of Shipping, Government of India, envisages creation of a ship navigation channel to suit different draughts (9.15 m, 10.7 m and 12.8m) through dredging/excavation in Adam’s Bridge, parts of Palk Bay and Palk Strait. The navigation route will originate from the Tuticorin new harbour in the Gulf of Mannar (GOM) using available navigation depths (> 20 m) up to south east of Pamban Island, pass through a channel created in Adams Bridge within the International boundary and proceed parallel to the International Medial Line for fishing rights as the Bengal Channel.
