Water aerodrome in Chilika Lagoon likely to damage eco-system: CDA

Bhubaneswar: The Chilika Development Authority (CDA) has opposed the operation of seaplane and water aerodrome in the Chilika Lagoon in Odisha.
The CDA said operationalization of seaplane and water aerodrome is likely to cause irrevocable damage to the ecosystem and livelihood of the population dependent on it.

“Though the exact area and location of the water aerodrome for operation has not been shared with CDA, the operation of the seaplane at any location of the lake can have serious and far-reaching consequences on the ecosystem of the lake,” said  CDA chief executive authority Sushant Nanda in a report.

It said this will affect directly the livelihood of fisherfolk dependent on it and indirectly on the entire population of 151 villages dotted around Chilika in the three districts-Khurdha, Puri and Ganjam.
