TRINCOMALEE BAY SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA Page | 76 6. Establishment of community woodlots 447. Fuelwood scarcity is not an acute issue in the TB SAM except in urban areas of Trincomalee, Kinniya and Muthur. However extraction of mangroves for poles and fuel wood for commercial purposes is becoming an issue. Hence it is proposed that community woodlots are established by local communities and Divisional Secretary, with assistance of FD and DSAM CCC, in suitable locations in the SAM buffer zone. Management of these woodlots should be the responsibility of Grama Niladhari and Divisional Secretary (DS). It is also suggested that DS could allow needy local people to extract fuel wood and poles from these plantations subject to DSAM CCC agreement and the payment of a small royalty or inkind contribution. 7. Alternative livelihoods development 448. The field studies revealed that fishery and agriculture sectors in the TB SAM provide very few new employment opportunities. It was also evident that the shell mining and grinding industry and micro saltern industry cannot be expanded further due to environmental issues. The TB SAM Plan proposes the control these 2 industries. 449. New sustainable alternative livelihood opportunities need to be introduced, preferably based on value added to the present products and services, and targeted at youth employment. It is suggested that these opportunities build on the NECCDEP sustainable livelihoods initiatives. Introduction of alternative sustainable livelihoods should reduce the direct pressure on employment in the shell and saltern industries and indirect pressure on natural resources in the TB SAM. 8. Aquaculture based micro enterprises in Thampalagamam bay 450. Micro aquaculture projects such as sea bass culture and crab fattening are practiced at present with the assistance of DFAD, NAQDA and one private company. Discussions with fishers revealed that these micro level aquaculture projects are profitable for fishers. However there are difficulties in getting fingerlings and feeds. Discussions with NAQDA revealed that NAQDA is going to establish hatcheries in the Eastern Province within a few years and plans to promote aquaculture projects from 2010. 451. DFAD should develop aquaculture in the Thampalagamam bay area with the assistances of NAQDA, Fishers Federations, CCD and DSAM CCC. Once DSAM CCC, CCD and other relevant agencies approve any aquaculture development plan, DFAD could implement it with the assistance of NAQDA. 9. Sea erosion control 452. Sea erosion was, and continues to be, a severe issue in the Kinniya area. The field studies revealed that A-15 road has shifted inland 4-5 times during last few decades due to sea erosion. Hence it is necessary to implement sea erosion control program in coastal zone from Kinniya to Muthur. 10. Management of core conservation areas under security forces management 453. The Dutch Fort and hilly areas around the Trincomalee bay provide an attractive landscape that is not found elsewhere in Eastern Province. The Greater and lesser Sober Islands and other smaller islands in the bay are also important natural habitats and have very high ecotourism potential. Due to security reasons, it was not possible for the SAM team to conduct field studies in support of the TB SAM planning process in these areas.
TRINCOMALEE BAY SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA Page | 77 454. However, with the improving security situation in the area, security forces may allow controlled ecotourism activities in these areas such as surfing, boat trips, and picnics and nature walks on the islands. It may also be possible to organize tours for dolphin and dugong watching. 455. It is, therefore, proposed that DSAM CCC and CCD should develop a dialogue with the security forces so as to develop management guidelines and an activity plan for conservation and sustainable use of these areas. Ideally representatives from the security forces should be included in the DSAM CCC to participate in and facilitate the implementation of the TB SAM Plan. I. Activity Plan 456. The comprehensive Logical Framework Matrix for the TB SAM is given in Appendix 11. The logical framework provides details of the proposed interventions. A simplified activity plan is given in Table VI.1 below. Activity Table VI.1: Activity Plan for Trincomalee Bay SAM Plan Time frame Budget est.
