Special Management Area Committee 68. As per the RRP, NECCDEP formulated a Special Area Management Committee to act as the regulatory body for the SMA and undertake the integrated planning and subsequent management of the SMA at district level. This committee was established by the NECCDEP District Project Office under the chairmanship of the Government Agent/ District Secretary, in 2004. The Committee consisted of representatives of relevant district departments and statutory boards, local government bodies, IP-NGOs, private sector organizations and civil society organizations. Every member of the Committee was given a letter of appointment specifying responsibilities. The Committee provided overall guidelines and approval of work plans and budgets. The list of individuals forming the SMA Committee is given in Appendix 2. 69. However this SMA Committee does not meet the criteria for CCC specified in the CCD SAM guidelines particularly with respect to the level of community participation. The Interim SMA Committee was dominated by government agencies. The Committee required restructuring in the comprehensive SAM planning process to include more community members, according to the CCD terminology of Community Coordinating Committee (CCC), although it continues to be chaired by the District Secretary. E. Consultation process 70. NECCDEP consultations in support of the interim SMA included the District level SMA Coordinating Committee. NECCDEP also consulted with the IP-NGOs selected to develop resource profiles for coastal Divisional Secretary Divisions of the District. Indigenous knowledge and experience of stakeholders and beneficiaries were also obtained through the consultation process. 71. The planning team reviewed studies conducted by different agencies in the recent past. These included the 6 PPTA (ADB/EuroConsult et. al.,) studies undertaken in support of the NECCDEP RRP on the Trincomalee bay ecosystem during 2002-2004. 72. GTZ/IFSP also conducted 5 environmental studies in the interim SMA during the period 2001 to 2004. These studies were related to solid waste disposal issues, ground water of agro wells and characteristics of coastal sand aquifers. There were a few national studies carried out after the tsunami in December 2004 which covered the Trincomalee interim SMA. These studies also suggested several interventions in the tsunami affected interim SMA.
