RIBANDAR: A large and thick patch of mangroves with lush vegetation was allegedly felled by some unknown persons near the Ribandar ferry ramp in the last few days.
Members of the Mangrove Society of India learned about the devastation on the southern bank of River Mandovi and complained to the Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA).
"A patch in an area of over 1,000 sq m has been felled by unknown persons," said A G Untawale, the society's executive secretary. The felled vegetation has not been cleared and is lying in the shallow part of the river, barely a few metres from the Ribandar-Chorao ferry ramp.
The mangrove species seen in the state's estuaries are largely Avicennia marina and Sonneratia alba. "Goa has about 16 species of mangroves and around six of them were seen growing here," Untawale said.
The mangrove patch had grown naturally on the river's southern bank for several decades. "A small part of it had been planted," he added.
GCZMA member secretary Levinson Martins told TOI, "We have lodged a complaint with the forest department and marked a copy to the police for action."
