MARGAO: A five-member team of scientists from the National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM) on Friday began the shoreline study along the Goa coast hit by soil erosion over the years. A team from the Netherlands is also visiting the state at the invitation of the Goa government in November to advise the government on sea erosion. The team, which began its work at Majorda beach, hit by rising seawater on Thursday morning, will crisscross the entire coast, including the 60-70 critical areas that have been hit by sea erosion.
Environment Minister Aleixo Sequeira, who accompanied the team to Majorda beach on Friday morning along with Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA) Director Johnson Fernandes and Sanjeev Joglekar, stated that the team has been engaged by the government to conduct a study of the shoreline because certain areas along the beach have witnessed erosion.
“The team has just come to Goa. They have inspected Majorda beach. Let them complete the inspection. They have been on the job for the last several months. They have identified certain critical areas along the coast,” Sequeira said.
The Minister added that officials of the NCSCM have already conducted an aerial survey of the beach stretch and have identified certain critical areas. “They have now come for a field study along the identified areas to study the issues in detail,” he said.

Stating that the experts will be visiting Goa in November, Sequeira said the government has proposed a joint meeting with the NCSCM, experts from the Netherlands, and representatives of other coastal states of India since the shoreline issues are affecting the entire country.
“We will be inviting representatives of the coastal states for the joint meeting so that they also take advantage of the interaction. As one country, we have to jointly resolve the issue of erosion. Issues on sea erosion may vary from state to state, but by and large, the coastline needs to be studied for a solution,” he added. https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&client=ca-pub-5691113662752707&output=html&h=100&adk=46893548&adf=3221995757&pi=t.aa~a.1104890272~rp.4&w=464&abgtt=11&fwrn=1&fwrnh=100&lmt=1729335646&rafmt=1&to=qs&pwprc=7151517733&format=464×100&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegoan.net%2Fgoa-news%2Fscientists-launch-shoreline-study-amid-rising-soil-erosion-in-state%2F120583.html&fwr=0&fwrattr=false&pra=3&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=40&uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiMC4xLjAiLCJ4ODYiLCIiLCIxMDkuMC41NDE0LjEyMCIsbnVsbCwwLG51bGwsIjY0IixbWyJOb3RfQSBCcmFuZCIsIjk5LjAuMC4wIl0sWyJHb29nbGUgQ2hyb21lIiwiMTA5LjAuNTQxNC4xMjAiXSxbIkNocm9taXVtIiwiMTA5LjAuNTQxNC4xMjAiXV0sMF0.&dt=1729335645736&bpp=2&bdt=1170&idt=-M&shv=r20241014&mjsv=m202410160101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D6ad88133025e66d8%3AT%3D1727084613%3ART%3D1729335654%3AS%3DALNI_MZUjp4POnpiOEW9YY3oblQoZvwM_w&gpic=UID%3D00000f199f37fb7c%3AT%3D1727084613%3ART%3D1729335654%3AS%3DALNI_Mbw5tBi9kFbVT-jbleO5yHZYS02bQ&eo_id_str=ID%3Dfa5c79126ba7a4c1%3AT%3D1727084613%3ART%3D1729335654%3AS%3DAA-AfjYtL8sPZHsHV487xSxIRTEn&prev_fmts=220×200%2C0x0%2C464x280%2C464x280%2C464x280&nras=5&correlator=4250268437534&frm=20&pv=1&u_tz=330&u_his=3&u_h=768&u_w=1366&u_ah=738&u_aw=1366&u_cd=24&u_sd=1&dmc=4&adx=15&ady=2143&biw=730&bih=628&scr_x=0&scr_y=286&eid=95343853%2C44759876%2C44759927%2C44759837%2C31088130%2C31088191%2C95333409%2C95344190%2C95345271%2C31088222%2C31087609&oid=2&pvsid=1957545621555498&tmod=1662246787&uas=0&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&fc=896&brdim=620%2C28%2C620%2C28%2C1366%2C0%2C756%2C720%2C740%2C628&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&bz=1.02&psd=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDNd&ifi=7&uci=a!7&btvi=4&fsb=1&dtd=327 https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&client=ca-pub-5691113662752707&output=html&h=280&adk=115361151&adf=3221995757&pi=t.aa~a.699794146~i.12~rp.4&w=464&abgtt=11&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1729335646&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=7151517733&ad_type=text_image&format=464×280&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegoan.net%2Fgoa-news%2Fscientists-launch-shoreline-study-amid-rising-soil-erosion-in-state%2F120583.html&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=116&rw=464&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiMC4xLjAiLCJ4ODYiLCIiLCIxMDkuMC41NDE0LjEyMCIsbnVsbCwwLG51bGwsIjY0IixbWyJOb3RfQSBCcmFuZCIsIjk5LjAuMC4wIl0sWyJHb29nbGUgQ2hyb21lIiwiMTA5LjAuNTQxNC4xMjAiXSxbIkNocm9taXVtIiwiMTA5LjAuNTQxNC4xMjAiXV0sMF0.&dt=1729335645736&bpp=1&bdt=1169&idt=-M&shv=r20241014&mjsv=m202410160101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D6ad88133025e66d8%3AT%3D1727084613%3ART%3D1729335654%3AS%3DALNI_MZUjp4POnpiOEW9YY3oblQoZvwM_w&gpic=UID%3D00000f199f37fb7c%3AT%3D1727084613%3ART%3D1729335654%3AS%3DALNI_Mbw5tBi9kFbVT-jbleO5yHZYS02bQ&eo_id_str=ID%3Dfa5c79126ba7a4c1%3AT%3D1727084613%3ART%3D1729335654%3AS%3DAA-AfjYtL8sPZHsHV487xSxIRTEn&prev_fmts=220×200%2C0x0%2C464x280%2C464x280&nras=4&correlator=4250268437534&frm=20&pv=1&u_tz=330&u_his=3&u_h=768&u_w=1366&u_ah=738&u_aw=1366&u_cd=24&u_sd=1&dmc=4&adx=15&ady=2253&biw=730&bih=628&scr_x=0&scr_y=286&eid=95343853%2C44759876%2C44759927%2C44759837%2C31088130%2C31088191%2C95333409%2C95344190%2C95345271%2C31088222%2C31087609&oid=2&pvsid=1957545621555498&tmod=1662246787&uas=0&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&fc=384&brdim=620%2C28%2C620%2C28%2C1366%2C0%2C756%2C720%2C740%2C628&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&bz=1.02&psd=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDNd&ifi=6&uci=a!6&btvi=3&fsb=1&dtd=312
