But citizens' groups& #environmentalist have raised concerns that the project will destroy the region's unique ecology
& the livelihoods of traditional #communities who depend on the inter-tidal zone for #fishing.

Also #scientist say the dumping of rocks on the inter-tidal space would increase daily high tides by up to 1.5 metres, which would be detrimental to
the survival of local #fisherfolk
The construction of the #Coastalroad will decimate this #heritage ecosystem

Project, the western coast near #Worli will be reclaimed by 200 metre to 500 metre by dumping of soil. This will not only be a road but also a parking area. A garden will be created through reclamation.
The reclamation will wipe out #fishermen 's livelihood.(6/n)

Also,during high tide, Worli village will be flooded &submerged. If urban development kills people and the environment, then it should be opposed. Our demands have not been met, so there is no
question of going for voting,” members of the protesting fishermen's group said.(7/n)

The damage to all inter-tidal fauna &flora would be permanent where tidal waters will be blocked for reclamation of land. It cannot be replenished.There r no known methods to restore permanently destroyed inter-tidal habitats or shores&bring marine life back to its original state
