the end of two day consultation at Colva, NFF Mathany Saldanha said that the ADB tried to push for the construction of expensive geo-textile tubes as an artificial reef with projected intention of coastal; protection for tourism projects. "These properties are actually CRZ violation structures which have destroyed sand dunes. The geo tube based technology has failed at Candolim. The NFF condemns the whole process of using the coast like experimental guinea pigs for these unproven and non-scientific technologies" Saldanha asserted.
On the Prime Ministers 2008 eight mission National Action plan on climatic change(NAPCC) Saldanha said the plan does not have anything to say on coasts and the fishing community and demanded separate coastal mission as a part of the Prime Ministers national action plan on climatic change.
