TRINCOMALEE BAY SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA Page | 12 3. Declaration of Special Area Management Site 57. The final SAM Plan should be submitted to the Coast Conservation Advisory Committee for approval. It is envisaged that the revised Coast Conservation Act will have provision to declare the sites specified in the CZMP as Special Area Management sites clearly defining their boundaries. This will confer legal status to the site and regulations specified in the SAM Plan. 4. Implementation of selected activities simultaneously with planning process 58. Small scale selected activities that can bring about tangible benefits to the local people should commence in parallel with planning to provide impetus for participation in the SAM process. For example, an action plan prepared to improve management of a small lagoon fishery in a SAM site will show results within a relatively short period and demonstrate local benefits through SAM. 5. Monitoring and evaluating of plan implementation 59. Monitoring and evaluating the impacts of the SAM Plan during its implementation should be carried out using specified indicators identified during SAM Plan preparation.
TRINCOMALEE BAY SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA Page | 13 III. PREPARATION OF INTERIM SMA PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION BY NECCDEP A. SMA process adopted in NECCDEP 60. The comprehensive SMA planning process (currently the SAM planning process) can take several years. The CCC needs to be formed, made operational, strengthened and integrated into the wider stakeholder community. At least 1-2 years are also needed to complete the data collection process and to complete necessary studies such as participatory rural appraisal (PRA), development of resource profiles, water quality studies and other related studies. The comprehensive SAM Plan then needs to be developed in a consultative way that is gender sensitive and includes isolated and vulnerable stakeholders. 61. In view of the timeframe and the delay in mobilizing the international consultants due to the poor security situation prevailing at the time, NECCDEP has adopted a parallel two track process involving the development of a fast-track interim SMA Plan and a slower more formal comprehensive SAM planning process. The development of resource profiles, water quality studies, tourism development studies follows the slower more formal comprehensive SAM planning process 62. The fast track approach recognizes the precautionary principle “Noting also that where there is a threat of significant reduction or loss of biological diversity, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures to avoid or minimize such a threat” (Ref. 0121) . Waiting for several years to conserve the environment and bring benefits to local communities may aggravate the situation by letting the environment deteriorate still further and losing the support of stakeholders due to lack of action. 63. The NECCDEP “fast track” interim SMA planning approach focused on identifying and addressing priority issues through a work plan implemented during 2005-2006. The comprehensive slower SAM planning process continued in parallel. The combined process is briefly listed below:- 1. Review existing study and research reports; 2. Start new studies to fill the gaps in information flow; 3. Undertake a resource inventory and prepare the environmental profile; 4. Identify core environmental issues; 5. Undertake stakeholder workshops; 6. Undertake field visits; 7. Develop work plan 2005-2006; 8. Form the SMA Committee (SMA C); 9. SMA Committee approval of the work plan; 10. Implementation of work plan through IP-NGO and IPs; 11. Monitoring and evaluation; 12. Formation of the District SAM Community Coordinating Committee (DSAM CCC);
