Hi,
Our politicians back track on their promises so easily! They promised to keep our coasts safe, but the recently proposed coastal regulation rules will make it easier for over 300 proposed ports and other projects to be built on our coast, many in the vicinity of biodiversity rich areas.
Many of these ports will be near mangrove areas, on fertile inter tidal mud flats, near the breeding and spawning grounds for turtles, horseshoe crabs and other marine creatures. Along with several other organisations, Greenpeace is asking the environment minister Jairam Ramesh to keep the construction of new ports and expansion of existing ones away from such eco-sensitive areas.
I have already written to the minister asking him to protect our coasts as promised. More letters will put more pressure on the minister to act.
Can you also write to the minister?

Thanks!
