The correct answer is
A and D

Understanding Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Categories

The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) notification, first issued in 1991, classifies coastal stretches along the mainland coast and the islands into different categories based on their ecological sensitivity and developmental activities. The classification aims to regulate activities in these zones to protect coastal environments.

CRZ Categories Relevant to Ecology and Water Area

The question asks to identify the CRZ categories concerned with the ecological zone and water area based on the 1991 notification.

  • CRZ-I: This category includes ecologically sensitive and important areas. It covers areas like mangroves, coral reefs, sand dunes, national parks, marine sanctuaries, and importantly, the intertidal zone (the area between the high tide line and the low tide line). Therefore, CRZ-I is directly concerned with both ecological zones and parts of the water area.
  • CRZ-IV: This category typically refers to the territorial waters and marine areas up to the 12 nautical mile limit from the coastline. It specifically encompasses the water area and the seabed.

Less Relevant CRZ Categories

  • CRZ-II: These are coastal zone areas that have already been developed significantly, such as urban and industrial settlements close to the shoreline. They are primarily focused on regulated development, not ecological sensitivity or extensive water areas.
  • CRZ-III: These are relatively undisturbed areas, including rural and ecologically less disturbed coastal stretches. While natural, CRZ-I is designated for areas of higher ecological significance, and CRZ-IV specifically addresses the marine water domain.

Conclusion on CRZ Zones

Based on the definitions, CRZ-I is designated for ecologically sensitive zones and includes parts of the water area (intertidal zone). CRZ-IV specifically covers the marine territorial waters.

Therefore, the zones concerned with the ecological zone and water area are CRZ-I (A) and CRZ-IV (D).

The correct option is the one that includes both A and D.
