Background
The Port of New Mangalore (NMP), a gateway port for the vast hinterland of the State of
Karnataka, is the 9th Major Port and a lagoon type harbour located on the west coast of
India (12°55’N; 74°48’E). The port is located at 170 nautical miles South of Mormugao & 191
nautical miles North of Cochin Port.
Presently there are 15 operating berths and one Single point mooring. The Single point
mooring is used for handling Crude Oil for MRPL. Out of the 15 berths, 5 berths are used for
handling liquid bulk and 2 berths are captive fully mechanized berths of KIOCL and UPCL for
handling of iron ore Pellets and Thermal Coal respectively. Balance 7 cargo berths are used
for handling around 9.51 million tonnes of general cargoes including coal. The general
cargo segment consists of Coal, edible oil, limestone, timbers, fertilizers, containers (around
60,000 TEUs), project cargo, food grains, granite, RO-RO cargoes etc.
Since there was an increase in container cargo and the Port has obtained the
Environmental clearance for berth No.18 for handling of containers and other clean cargoes
and Berth No.16 and 17 for handling of bulk cargoes, break bulk cargoes including coal. The
Environmental and CRZ clearance has been issued for berth No.18 as container Terminal
and remaining berths 16 and 17 as Bulk and Break bulk Terminal and these berths are
proposed to be developed in phased manner vide letter No. 11-2/2010-IA.III dated
19.09.2011.
The Port has commenced the construction of civil works of berth No. 18 and it is
scheduled to be completed by March, 2016. After stoppage of handling of Coal at Chennai
Port, the coal cargo has increased at NMPT and handled coal of around 6.51 million tonnes
excluding coal of UPCL in the year ending March 2015. Due to commission of container
terminal at Vallarapadam and Container terminal at Cochin Port, the forecasted/anticipated
growth has not been achieved to construct a new Container terminal at Port.
Hence the Govt. has taken a decision to develop the berth No.18 as a fully mechanized
coal terminal to reduce pollution and improve the productivity that would reduce cost of
handling also. It is proposed to develop Berth No.18 with fully mechanized coal handling
berth.
The Port had requested MoEF to issue amendment to Environmental Clearance to develop Berth No. 17 as container terminal and Berth No. 16 & 18 as bulk and break

A Biodiversity Management Plan from NIO or any Marine Ecology related institute of reputed for conservation of marine ecology as a result of impact from dredging & Dumping. Main Report as prepared by NIO, Goa is enclosed as Annexure 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT) Mangalore, Karnataka, a lagoon type harbor
located on the west coast of India (12° 'N; 74°48'E), is a gateway port for the vast
hinterland of the State of Karnataka state.
NMPT had approached MOEF & CC for amendment to Environment Clearance for
development of berths at western dock arm. During the presentation MoEF had
directed Port to conduct Biodiversity Plan as a result of impacts from dredging and
dumping activities at Port. In this regard, NMPT approached National Institute of
Oceanography, Goa to conduct Environmental impact assessment study and to
prepare a Biodiversity Management Plan for conservation of Marine Ecology to
mitigate/minimize the impacts from the dredging and dumping activities.
Accordingly, NIO has taken up this project and carried out environmental impact
assessment study to suggest a comprehensive environment management plan to be
implemented during the construction, operation and post operational phase of these
berths.
I. Assessment of the prevailing environment
Diurnal variation of surface meteorological parameters were noticeable during the
observational period. Warm waters (30.7°C) was observed in the port region, while
offshore regions were comparatively cooler (30.4°C). Higher evaporation in the port
region resulted an increase in the surface salinity compared to the offshore waters.
The hydrographic parameters and total petroleum hydrocarbons were within the
normal range of values that reported from unpolluted coastal areas. The water
column exhibited slightly alkaline pH in the entire study region. Well oxygenated
conditions prevailed in the entire study region. The observed low BOD indicated that
this region was devoid of organic matter pollution.
Bhagavathi Ana Labs Pvt Ltd (a Bureau Veritas Group Company) Ref BV Bhagavathi: IND.BH.41.16.0083/HSR Rev. 01, Final
The nutrient elements such as N, P and Si were present only in µM levels and are
comparable with reported values from other coastal areas of the west coast of India.
The PHC values in water column and sediments were well below the threshold levels
so that they cannot exert adverse biological effects.
Heavy metals in the study area remained below effective range - low levels (ER-L)
indicating that it may not pose harmful effects to the biota.
The bacteriological investigation in the study area shows that the water quality
sustains a good biodiversity. The bacterial counts were relatively higher at stations
inside the port and the dumping sites. The abundance was less at the coastal
stations except for station 9. A similar trend was observed in the distribution of the
bacterial population in the sediment also.
The distribution of phytoplankton biomass, abundance, composition and species
diversity did not show any significant spatial variation. Majority of the sampling
locations the chlorophyll a showed less than 1 mg m-3, which indicates the normal
condition of tropical coastal waters in terms phytoplankton biomass. The dominance
of diatoms (>75%) over other phytoplankton groups also shows the normal
characteristic feature of tropical coastal waters. Phytoplankton species diversity
index (H’) at stations located outside the Mangalore port (av. 2.43± 0.53) and inside
the port (av. 2.41± 0.44) did not show any significant variation.
The mesozooplankton community within and outside the port did not show any
major variations. The general composition of zooplankton at most of the stations
remained more or less similar. A vast number of copepod species (35) were
observed in the study region denoting a diverse healthy environment.
In case of the macrobenthic community the density along the stations inside the port
was relatively lower than the outside stations of port. Whereas in case of biomass
except station 8 – 10, the macrobenthic biomass did not show much variations.
To conclude, the prevailing environmental and ecological features in the NMPT port
premises did not exhibit any adverse conditions that may affect the survival and
propagation of the biota in the region. However, precaution may be taken to maintain
similar conditions in the future too.
II. Potential Marine Environmental Impacts The proposed marine activities at NMPT will have at the most temporary localized
impact on the marine environment. A localized increase in turbidity may temporarily
Bhagavathi Ana Labs Pvt Ltd (a Bureau Veritas Group Company) Ref BV Bhagavathi: IND.BH.41.16.0083/HSR Rev. 01, Final
affect the dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand and photosynthetic activity in
the open coastal region. The disturbance of the bottom sediment may liberate some
of the nutrients and heavy metals and increase their concentration in the water
column temporarily. However, since the sediment is uncontaminated, the biota would
not be exposed to high levels of pollutants due to sediment disturbance.
Some damage to subtotal and inter tidal benthic fauna may occur in the area of
proposed dredging/construction activity (125 m x 325 m). These impacts are,
however, temporary during the construction phase and are reversible with short
recovery period.
III. Socio-economic ConditionsThe marine activities by NMPT may initially cause some temporary impact. However,
it is possible to control them by suitable mitigation measures. It is fact that an
enhancement of port activity beside generating employment to local people may
promote other industries in the area and raise the socio-economic status of the
people. The benefit of such development will most probably outweigh the adverse
effects, if any, in the long run.
IV. Mitigation and Precautionary Measures
Although the impacts arising during construction phase will be of temporary in
nature, proper care should be taken to reduce possible risks.
A thorough study of the various operational and post operational activities should
have provision to efficiently deal with various types of environmental impacts to
preserve the environment.
V. Environmental Management Plan
A comprehensive management plan in respect of the marine environment will have to
be worked out by the NMPT.
Spot sampling of environmental parameters should be taken periodically to ensure
the health of the marine environment within the port and surrounding areas.
Bhagavathi Ana Labs Pvt Ltd (a Bureau Veritas Group Company) Ref BV Bhagavathi: IND.BH.41.16.0083/HSR Rev. 01, Final
The results of the post monitoring phase should be compared with the baseline data
to delineate the changes, if any, in the water quality and marine life.
The results of this report are site specific and based on pre monsoon observations.
The delicate ecological balance should be maintained while carrying out the marine
