| Overview : Government of India, with UNDP as the lead agency, funded by Global Environment Facility (GEF), in collaboration with Government of Maharashtra is implementing the project “Mainstreaming Coastal and Marine Biodiversity Conservation into Production Sectors in the Sindhudurg Coast, Maharashtra, India”. The project focuses specifically on removing the key barriers to mainstreaming environmental management considerations into major production activities that are impacting the Sindhudurg region. The UNDP-GEF intervention aims to address this through the following outcomes: (1) Cross-sectoral planning framework that mainstreams biodiversity conservation; (2) Enhanced capacity of sector institutions for implementing biodiversity-friendly fisheries management plan, ecotourism management plan and MMS management plan; and (3) Sustainable community livelihoods and natural resource use. One of the enabling activities envisaged in the project is to prepare a decision support system inclusive of biodiversity conservation in order to bring in a cross-sectoral spatial and temporal planning process that balances biodiversity conservation, economic, sustainable development and livelihood objectives. The objective of the Plan is to make optimal allocation of the coastal and marine areas to different uses based on ecological carrying capacity and socio-economic needs in the long term. The Plan will identify areas critical for conservation and areas where production activities can take place but with special requirements for ensuring sustainability. The spatial exercise of the Plan would aim at zoning different production areas to minimize the adverse impact of production sectors on the Sindhudurg Coastal and Marine Ecosystem. The Plan will build on the existing frameworks and comply with national and state legislation(s). The preparation of the Plan will be done after due consultations with all Please note that this procurement process is being conducted through online tendering system of UNDP.
