The port which is situated at a very safe distance from the nesting site have taken into account various measures to ensure the safety of this nesting which takes place for two months in a year. Their objectives are to stimulate infrastructure growth of the State, especially developing the area into an economically bustling zone. To develop the port with finest residential, water & power supply facilities to enrich people’s life in the area.

They are truly committed to the cause of the environment and have a sound Environment Management Plan (EMP).
