India Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project
? To conserve, project and manage the coastal and marine environment, the Ministry is implementing the India ICZM Project with the World Bank assistance.
? For the implementation of the project the Ministry has established a Society of Integrated Coastal Management (SICOM) as nodal body under the Society Registration Act, in Delhi.
? The ICZM Project is being implemented as pilot investments in the coastal states of Gujarat, Odisha and West Bengal.
? National activities are implemented through SICOM along with monitoring of activities carried out by three selected states.
? The project has four implementing agencies-MoEF at the national level with lead responsibilities, and the Departments of Forests and Environment (DoEF) of the threeparticipating states.
Volcanic mountains are very common along the destructive plate boundaries i.e. Oceanic-continental plate boundaries which are yet uncovered in the rock folded mountains formed due to continental ?to continental plate collision.The Himalayas are also a plate-to-plate collision tectonic boundary. In this case, the Indian Plate [of the Indian Subcontinent] is colliding head-on with the Eurasian Plate. Both plates are comprised of continental lithospheric crust, so there is no appreciable distinction in density.
