THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Legislative Committee on Environment has recommended the formation of the Ashtamudi Wetland Management Authority for the protection of the Ashtamudi backwaters. It was recommended that the Collector should take measures to assess the progress of backwater protection works on a monthly basis and to remedy the conditions that destroy the backwater ecosystem. A special team should be formed to evacuate encroachments on the Ashtamudi backwater and the coast. The legislative committee had also received complaints regarding backwater pollution, encroachment, and sand theft. The examination was based on this. Ashtamudi Kayal should be modeled for the environmental and tourism sectors.
