Hilsamigrates from north Bay due to unfavorable environment: Huge catch near Teknaf
Hilsacrisis in the Bay in ongoing peak season, idle fishing trawlers
Conclusion and Recommendations • Coastal zone has great importance to protect the shoreline of the Bay • Northern part is resourceful & biodiversity rich, very fragile & prone to pollution • Industries, agriculture & ports are major sources • Ship breaking, shrimp culture are great threat • Destruction of mangroves increasing vulnerability
Conclusion and Recommendations • CHT plays important role in coastline management • Dams destroying the hill forests & water-flows • Indiscriminate use of Chemicals and upstream in agriculture destroying perennial streams Causing marine & terrestrial biodiversity loss • Hill cutting, shrimp hatchery and unplanned structures damaging Cox’s Bazar sea beach
Conclusion and Recommendations • Pollution from ship-breaking, ports & shrimp culture should be stopped • Deforestation, hill-cutting, over-fishing unplanned construction must be controlled • Defense systems against cyclones, tidal surges, erosion should be built up
