Loveson and Rajamanickam (1987) have pointed out the spit formation and the process of progradation taking place at Periyapattinam (far north of Tuticorin). The hook shaped spit is trending towards SE direction, having a link with mainland in SW direction. In the absence of any river discharge in Periyapattinam area, the dumping of sediments from offshore by littoral currents (velocity 1.8 knots/hr) is suggested as the probable cause for spit development [10] Another prominent spit formation is noticed about 2 km south of Tuticorin.The spit growth is attributed to the deposition of sediments discharged from Thamirabharani River by longshore currents of monsoonal period [11] Fig.1.Study Area 4.

It provides many employments to millions of people and contributes to food security of the country. Introduction of new technology in fishing increased not only the output, but also the cost of production. Production cost plays an important role in deciding fishing operations. This paper analyzed the Growth of production and export of Tamilnadu and Ramanathapuram distrcit. The Researcher used from descriptive analysis for mean, standard deviation, Covariance, Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). Keywords: Marine Fisheries, performance, contribution. Introduction Fish is an important food for mankind as it is capable of making a substantial contribution to the requirements of animal protein of human body. Fish is the only source of animal protein in countries like Japan and China. Fish contains the enriched in protein, fats, iodine and vitamins that human bodies require and it is the easiest digestible sea food for human being. In estimating the nutritive value of the various species of fish, the protein, vitamins and mineral contents are to be considered.

Vadivel Department of History , Presidency College , Chennai , Tamil Nadu. ABSTRACT The present paper is an attempt to focus the physical features, present position and past history of the Ramnad District which was formed in the tail end of the Eighteenth Century. No doubt, the Ramnad District is the oldest district among the districts of the erstwhile Madras Presidency and the present Tamil Nadu. The District was formed by the British with the aim to suppress the southern poligars of the Tamil Country . For a while the southern poligars were rebellious against the expansion of the British hegemony in the south Tamil Country. After the formation of the Madras Presidency , this district became one of its districts. For sometimes it was merged with Madurai District and again its collectorate was formed in 1910. In the independent Tamil Nadu, it was trifurcated into Ramnad, Sivagangai and Viudhunagar districts. The district is, historically, a unique in many ways in the past and present. It was a war-torn region in the Eighteenth Century and famine affected region in the Nineteenth Century, and a region known for the rule of Setupathis. Many freedom fighters emerged in this district and contributed much for the growth of the spirit of nationalism. KEY WORDS : Ramanathapuram, Ramnad, District, Maravas, Setupathi, British Subsidiary System, Doctrine of Lapse ,Dalhousie, Poligars.

    1 DATABASE ON GULF OF MANNAR BIOSPHERE RESERVE ENVIS Centre Department of Environment Government of Tamil Nadu Chennai-15 2015 2 1. Introduction The Gulf of Mannar, the first Marine Biosphere Reserve (GOMMBR) in the South and South East Asia, running down south from Rameswaram to Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, India is situated between Longitudes 78008 E to 79030 E and along Latitudes from 8035 N to 9025 N (Figs.1 & 2). This Marine Biosphere Reserve encompasses a chain of 21 islands (2 islands already submerged) and adjoining coral reefs off the coasts of the Ramanathapuram and the Tuticorin districts forming the core zone; the Marine National Park and the buffer zone includes the surrounding seascape and a 10 km strip of the coastal landscape covering a total area of 10,500 Km2, in the Ramanathapuram, Tuticorin, Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari Districts with a long coastline of 364.9 Km. The importance of the Gulf of Mannar region dates back to the 2nd Century AD because of its highly productive pearl oyster banks and other religious significance. In India, the Gulf of Mannar region in Tamil Nadu is one of the four major coral reef areas and the others are Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat, Lakhsadweep and Andaman and Nicobar islands.

With its rich biodiversity of about 4223 species of various flora and fauna, part of this Gulf of Mannar between Rameswaram and Tuticoirin covering 21 islands and the surrounding shallow coastal waters has been declared as a Marine National Park in 1986 by the Government of Tamil Nadu and later the first Marine Biosphere Reserve of India in 1989 by the Government of India.
