275. Lands are available for hotel development in an eco-friendly manner
4. Threats
276. Illegal fishing activities may adversely effect the fish populations;
277. Loss of biodiversity due to destruction of natural habitats – forests, mangroves;
278. Pollution of water due to improper solid waste disposal by local authorities;
279. Pollution of estuarine water from the excessive use of agro chemicals and untreated
sewage.
I. Planning process
280. CCD guidelines suggested the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) as a suitable tool
for SAMplanning and implementation. The LFA approach has been adopted accordingly.
LFA is an analytical process and one of tools used to support project planning and
management. It provides set of interlocking concepts which are used as part of an
iterative process to aid structured and systematic analysis of a project or programme
idea. It allows information to be analyzed and organized in a structured way, so that
important questions can be asked, weaknesses identified and decision makers can make
informed decisions based on their improved understanding of the project rationale, its
intended objectives and the means by which objectives will be achieved.
281. The logical framework matrix (log frame) is used to provide a roadmap for delivering a
significant objective or purpose by undertaking a number of activities. The log frame consists
of a matrix with four columns and a number of rows. The project is delivered from bottom to
top using a vertical logic containing a hierarchy of objectives specified in the first column. The
second column provides indicators to be used to determine whether the project is being
implemented successfully. The third column provides the means of verification for these
indicators. The fourth column provides key risks and assumptions to delivery of the project. It
should be noted that critical risks and assumptions that cannot be accommodated within the
project design as specified in the first column become killer risks and assumptions that make
the project non-viable.
282. The logical framework for this SAM Plan is given in Appendix 11. Considering the
users of this document a user friendly simple activity plan is also developed based on the full
logical framework. This simplified version is given below in Chapter VI. A key element of both
versions is the use of management zones designed to separate incompatible uses and
combine compatible ones.
J. Comparison of this SAM planning methodology with the CCD guidelines.
283. A comparison of the methodology used for this SAM Plan with that recommended by
the CCD is given in Table V.4 below.
