The restoration, management and conservation of these habitats has direct relevance to post-tsunami reconstruction and ongoing policy discourse on coastal zone management and planning, coastal defences, bio-shields and environment. This document consolidates the learning of one of the four components of the UNDP-PTEI Phase II. The primary goal of the component was to build protocols for restoration of coastal habitats based on a combination of literature reviews and field experience. The component was implemented by the Foundation for Ecological Research, Advocacy and Learning (FERAL) who joined the initiative in December 2006. The objectives of the project were : 1. To conduct studies on coastal vulnerability at a spatial level. 2. A spatial analysis of land use change and social change on the Coromandel coast of India over the last three decades. 3. To identify sites for pilot restoration using and extending PTEI Phase I results; coastal sand dunes, mangroves and tropical dry evergreen forest habitats were covered. 4. To mobilise local stakeholders and build local capacities at selected restoration sites. 5. To mobilise institutional support and financial sustainability of the work through linkages with local and district authorities and 6. to set up pilot demonstrations sites for restoration of native coastal habitats. While the first two objectives covered the entire Coromandel coast, the restoration related activities were limited to patches of degraded native habitat lying within 50 km of the coast which extends from the South of Pulicat Lake to Point Calimere in Nagapattinam. This is among the first efforts to collate and analyse information in a spatial framework that encompasses long term changes in coastal land use and consequent impacts on the vulnerability of communities and native habitats. This is also among the few attempts to document and build comprehensive restoration strategies for these habitats and involves partnerships with local communities, institutions and other agencies in the region. Our learning emphasise the need for multidisciplinary approaches. The ability to use participatory tools and community organisation in conjunction with remote sensing, GIS, specialised nursery techniques and ecological assessments was a major strength of the project. Outcomes of the UNDP-PTEI project are expected to feed directly into restoration and conservation efforts for these unique but fragmented and highly threatened habitats both at a local community level as well as at the level of

  • The French Connection: Indian Cottons, Their Early Modern Technology and Diffusion
    The French Connection: Indian Cottons, Their Early Modern Technology and Diffusion George Bryan Souza* Asia’s production of cotton and silk textiles, porcelain and the refining of base metals, zinc in particular, in the early modern period were more advanced than the rest of the world. Fundamental to Asia’s success and superiority in textile production was the technology employed by artisans in the selection of raw materials and the techniques used in their application and presentation. Before Europe could diverge technically from other parts of the globe, European textile manufacture had to converge through the acquisition and incorporation of new materials and technical knowledge from other parts of the globe, especially from India and China1 or, alternatively, through new or incremental advances in technical knowledge, production processes, machines, and apparatus. Cotton a vegetable fiber was “one of the most difficult fibers to dye,” “unlike animal fibers such as silk and wool, which can accept most natural dyes with ‘comparative’ ease, inherent properties * University of Texas, San Antonio, USA.

  • The Dutch East Indies Company - the First 100 Years Transcript
    The Dutch East Indies Company - The First 100 Years Transcript Date: Wednesday, 1 March 2006 - 12:00AM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall THE HISTORY OF THE DUTCH EAST INDIES COMPANY Dr Thomas Crump Lecture 1: Wednesday 1 March 2006 The history of the Dutch East India Company, founded in 1602 and declared bankrupt in 1799, spans almost the whole of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. For much of this time it was the world’s largest trading company, owning, at the height of its wealth and power, more than half the world’s sea-going shipping – with its characteristic ship, the ‘fluyt’, also being produced for the merchant marines of other countries, including England. It was known internationally by its distinctive VOC monogram, the initials standing for ‘Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie’ – or simply the United East India Company. Those who organized it did not find it necessary to add that it was ‘Dutch’ – in the commercial world of its time no-one needed to be told that, and indeed, at the beginning of the seventeenth century ‘Dutch’ was only beginning to be identified with an independent state. The VOC played not only a key role in the history of the Netherlands, but also in that of the other states in which it was involved, from England, France, Spain and Portugal in Europe, to any number of principalities, sultanates and empires along the coasts of Asia, going as far as Japan and China, and including most of the coasts of India, Ceylon, Malaya and what is now Indonesia, to say nothing of the odd port of call in Africa.

    AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 Cyclone and its Effect on Shoreline Changes in Archaeological Sites, East Coast of Tamil Nadu, India Sathiyamoorthy G, *Sivaprakasam Vasudevan, Selvaganapathi R & Nishikanth C. V Department of Earth Sciences, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar, Tamil Nadu, India. *[email protected] ABSTRACT : The contact line between sea and land, is knows as shoreline and they are experiencing changes due to the long-shore current, tides, wave, and storm surges, etc. The Shorelines played a major role in human settlement and favours the clustering of Port cities from ancient to present. The changes in the shoreline directly affect the livelihood of the coastal cities and also worn out the maritime archaeological sites, particularly during the late Quaternary period. A few archaeological sites including Arikamedu, Poompuhar, Tharangambadi, and Sembiyankandiyur show a direct/indirect relationship with the shoreline changes between 1972 and 2018. The shoreline changes between Pondicherry and Nagapattinam patch, with respect to the archaeological sites, quantify erosion -20.52 m/period in Arikamedu, Poompuhar, and Tharangambadi and -25.28 m/period along Sembiyankandiyur region during a span of 46 years. The maritime Archaeological, pride sites like Poompuhar, Tharangambadi and Sembiyankandiyur on the coastal region were submerged in the sea, the remand parts are also under the threat to vanish at a faster rate. Keywords: LRR, EPR and NSM, Erosion and Accretion. 1. INTRODUCTION Coastal region of the south eastern part of India is significant with respect to archaeological studies.
