K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

  • The Sand Bar Formation and Its Impact on the Mangrove Ecosystem: a Case Study of Kadalundi Estuary of Kadalundi River Basin in Kerala, India
    Current World Environment Vol. 11(1), 65-71 (2016) The Sand Bar Formation and its Impact on the Mangrove Ecosystem: A Case Study of Kadalundi Estuary of Kadalundi River Basin in Kerala, India K B BINDU1* and G JAYAPAL2 Department of Geography, Kannur University. http://dx.doi.org/10.12944/CWE.11.1.08 (Received: March 11, 2016; Accepted: April 06, 2016) Abstract Mangrove ecosystems are prone to die due to both anthropogenic and natural effects. The present study is a case study of how the formation of sand bars affects the natural mangrove ecosystem and becoming a threat to its rich biodiversity of flora and fauna. The Kadalundi – Vallikkunnu Community Reserve located in Kozhikode and Malappuram Districts in Kerala State is the first community reserve of Kerala, declared in 2007 which spread across 1.5 sq. km. and this area includes Kadalundi bird sanctuary, mangroves and estuarine. These area mainly affected by numerous biotic interferences like over fishing, collection of oyster and mussels, mining of sand and lime and also retting of coconut. The formation of sand bars at the mouth of the river has resulted in the massive die back of the mangrove vegetation, especially that of Avicennia Marina which is one of the five species of mangroves found in the Kadalundi – Vallikunnu community reserve. The illegal utilization of land for coconut plantation, urbanization and dumping of urban waste near the mouth of the river had made the problem highly complicated. The present study highlights the need for urgent measures to be adopted from the authorities to ensure community participation for restoration of community reserve.

  • Geostatistical Modelling of Sediment Chemistry of Ashtamudi Lake Using Gis and Study the Change During Past Several Years
    Pramana Research Journal ISSN NO: 2249-2976 GEOSTATISTICAL MODELLING OF SEDIMENT CHEMISTRY OF ASHTAMUDI LAKE USING GIS AND STUDY THE CHANGE DURING PAST SEVERAL YEARS Grace K Mikhayel1, Prof .Chinnamma2 Malabar College of Engineering and Technology, Kerala Technology University, Thrissur (Dist),Kerala,India Abstract Water is valuable natural resources that essential to human survive and the ecosystems health. Water are comprises of coastal water bodies and fresh water bodies (lakes, river and groundwater). Since the past few decades, the increasing of anthropogenic activities especially in industrial area has effects to water bodies. This is the global issues which happening throughout the world and Kerala also face these problems. This study attempts to show the spatial distribution of sediment chemical parameters in the Ashtamudi Lake, Kollam and study the change during several past years. It also shows the partitioning of heavy metals in lake water. The Ashtamudi Lake is the second largest wetland ecosystem in Kerala. The lake is polluted by nearby factories, oil mills, boats, septic wastes etc. Sediment play an important role in elemental cycling in the aquatic environment and can be a sensitive indicator for monitoring contaminants in aquatic environment. GIS and remote sensing techniques can be used to make effective maps showing the effective spatial distribution of each parameters. Also sediment samples from various sample locations of Ashtamudi Lake will be collected and testing will be done accordingly.

Two decades of indiscriminate exploitation for the pet trade, restricted range, fragmented populations and continuing decline in quality of habitats has resulted in their ‘Endangered’ listing. Here, we tested whether the isolated RLTB populations demonstrated considerable variation qualifying to be considered as distinct conservation targets. Multivariate morphometric analysis using 24 size-adjusted characters delineated all allopatric populations. Similarly, the species-tree highlighted a phylogeny with 12 distinct RLTB lineages corresponding to each of the different riverine populations.

  • Ecology of Indian Estuaries: Part I-Physico-Chemical Features of Water & Sediment Nutrients of Ashtamudi Estuary
    Indian Journal of Marine Sciences Vol. 12, September 1983, pp. 143-150, Ecology of Indian Estuaries: Part I-Physico-Chemical Features of Water & Sediment Nutrients of Ashtamudi Estuary N BALAKRISHNAN NA.IR, P K ABDUL AZIS, K DHARMARAJ, M ARUNACHALAM, K KRISHNA KUMAR & N K BALASUBRAMANIAN Department of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries, University of Kerala, Trivandrum 695007 Received 21 March 1983; revised received 24 May 1983 Detailed analyses of physico-chemical characteristics and sediment nutrients of Ashtamudi estuary covering the entire biotope from the marine to the riverine zone are presented; this second biggest estuarine system in Kerala is found to be a zone of severe pollution caused by effiuents from a paper mill situated upstream. Seasonal variations in temperature and pH and in the concentrations of dissolved oxygen, salinity, phosphate-P, nitrate-N, nitrite-N, and silicate-Si in estuarine waters have been observed at 4 selected stations. The study has indicated a distinct degree of change in relation to the water quality at Kadapuzha. The nature, degree, and extent of ecological transformation undergone by this vast estuarine system has been briefly discussed. Seasonal variations of organic carbon (DC), total P, total N and total K in the sediments are studied in relation to certain physico-chemical characteristics. Correlations between DC, total P, total N and total K and the grain size reveal that fine grained elements contain more DC and P. Existence of organic phosphate in the sediments of the Ashtamudi estuary is evidenced by the correlation between DC and P in all the 4 stations. Results of the present study indicate the imperative need to keep the effects of pollution within manageable limits.

STATUS REVIEW 1.1 Taxonomy: Class : Reptilia Order : Testudines Family : Trionychidae Genus : Pelochelys Species : Pelocheys cantorii (Gray, 1864) Common Name : Cantor’s Giant softshell turtle/ Asian Giant softshell turtle/ Local name : Bheemanama, Paala poovan (Malayalam) Synonyms: Pelochelys clivepalmeri (Hoser, 2014), P. cumingii (Gray, 1864), P. poljakowii (Strauch, 1890), P. telstraorum (Hoser, 2014), P. cantoris (Boulenger, 1889) Pelochelys cantorii (Gray, 1864) is one of the three species in the genus Pelochelys. The other two species are P. bibroni and P. signifera known only from Papua New Guinea and Indonesia (Papua), respectively. P. cantorii has a large distribution across south and south-east Asia (Das, 2008). It is among the largest freshwater turtles in the world with adults reaching a carapace length of around 100 cm (Das, 2008). Sexual dimorphism is present with males having longer and thicker tales than females; something common for other softshell turtles. Females are also larger in size than males (Das, 2008). According to the last IUCN Red List of threatened species assessment for the species, Pelochelys cantorii might hide a complex of several different species (ATTWG, 2000) A B Figure 1.
