SPEK Calls for Expert Review Before Resuming Korapuzha Estuary Dredging
The Society for the Protection of Environment, Kerala (SPEK) has urged the Kozhikode district administration to halt the resumption of dredging at the Korapuzha estuary until an independent scientific assessment is conducted. SPEK has requested the formation of an expert committee, including a marine ecologist and a local resident, to evaluate the environmental impact. The group raised concerns about previous dredging activities, alleging improper spoil disposal and potential ecological harm, and called for detailed studies before proceeding.
