It found non-traditional shrimp farming caused salinisation, water pollution, mangrove loss, drainage obstruction, loss of agricultural land, and interference with fishing and coastal access, so it required strict environmental scrutiny and exclusion from prohibited coastal areas. The Court also applied sustainable development, the precautionary principle, and the polluter pays principle, directing eco-restoration, compensation to affected persons, and recovery of restoration costs from polluters through a specialised authority. en-us Wed, 11 Dec 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 17:17:09 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=174470 SC held that commercial shrimp aquaculture could not continue within the Coastal Regulation Zone, except for traditional and improved traditional systems, because such farms were not directly tied to waterfront use and harmed fragile coastal ecology.
