I feel what is being done is haphazard project. its goals are questionable.
Knowing marine biology, as to why it is a unviable project?. The area they wish to make a shipping channel is an estuary, meaning a place in which marine life breed, and part of their life cycle of countless fish, and many different animals. Since this is there breeding ground which is rich in food, if such area become a shipping channel is made. Ship, oil freight and other hazardous cargo will pass through channel and it is known that ships have bad habits of dumping things into the sea,or if their is an oil spill all these marine life could be affected and so our industries such fishing will be harmed and further disaster would be made. Health and livelihood of hundred of thousands of people maybe millions affect. The fishing industries of the whole Indian ocean can be effected. Please read about estuaries by EPA/USA.What an gaint enviromental disaster:
Second, Issue is its basic viability seeing that Sri Lanka is a small Island. People who use Suez canal rather then circumvent the continent of Africa, People use the Panama Canal rather then circumvent the continent of South America, but how do they justify a canal instead of circumventing Sri Lanka. It seems they wish to destroy Ram Sethu, because even a 24 hour benefit will be a waste their money. Besides the high rate of silt deposit in the area.
