摘要

Indiscriminate destruction of mangroves in Goa over centuries, mainly by way of land reclamation for agricultural purposes, has led to existence of 18500 ha of reclaimed inter-tidal lands, locally known as Khazan Lands. In the unreclaimed areas too, mangroves degradation took place due to biotic interferences. In the year 1985-1986, mangrove restoration works were initiated in Goa to restore degraded mangroves occurring along the estuaries in the form of narrow strip. Based on study of aerial photographs, mangrove area of Goa has been estimated to be 2000 ha. By the end of 2001-2002, total 1350.25 ha area has been covered under mangrove afforestation programme. Today, due to mangrove conservation efforts in Goa, success has been achieved in restoration of mangroves in the un-reclaimed areas but a much bigger challenge lies ahead. So far, no adequate attention has been paid towards management of 18500 ha of Khazan Lands. Prior to reclamation, Khazan Lands were under the cover of mangroves. As on today, most of these lands are either underutilized or unutilized and yielding a meager income to the owners of these lands. Faulty land use planning is responsible for destruction of mangroves and consequently degradation of local environment. Indiscriminate conversion of inter-tidal lands has also deprived local communities from getting tangible benefits like fuelwood, fodder, timber, etc. from the mangroves. To tackle the situation, long term planning is necessary. It is worthwhile to conduct survey for collection of precise information on extent, ownership, current use, potential use, encroachment, socio-economic dependence, salinity, tidal regime, flora, fauna, etc. The information will help in drawing appropriate management plan. There is urgent need to launch education and awareness program for the masses so as to make them aware about ill effects of mangroves destruction and current mismanagement of Khazan Lands. To promote mangrove planting on their private and community lands, it is necessary to simplify procedure for harvesting of private forest plantations under the Goa, Daman and Diu, Preservation of Trees Act, 1984. Section 54 of the Tenancy Act, 1964, empowers the Government to take over management of such Khazan Lands, which lie uncultivated for three consecutive years. Effective implementation of the law will act as a deterrent for those keeping their lands unutilized. On the other hand incentives may be given to those who grow and manage mangroves on their lands. Researches, conducted in various parts of the globe, have established that number of eco-friendly agroforestry activities can be practiced in the mangrove ecosystem. In a broad sense, the term agroforestry means combination of Silviculture with minimum one of the following practices viz. agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture, apiculture, seaweed culture, animal husbandry, wildlife farming. Based on these activities, site-specific agroforestry models need to be developed and demonstrated to win confidence of the Khazan Land owners. Implementation of agroforestry activities can revert Khazan Lands back to mangrove ecology, which in turn, will upgrade the environment and eco-friendly economic activities on the Khazan Lands will enhance socioeconomic status of the local communities.
