Echinodermata Associated with Coral Reefs of Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Rec. zoo!. Surv. India: 100 (Part 3-4) : 21-60, 2002 ECHINODERMATA ASSOCIATED WITH CORAL REEFS OF ANDAMAN AND NICOBAR ISLANDS D. R. K. SASTRY Zoological Survey of India, A & N Regional Station, Port Blair - 744 102 INTRODUCTION Coral reefs are an important ecosystem of the coastal environment. The reef ecosystem IS highly productive and provides substratum, shelter, food etc. to a variety of biota. Consequently a number of faunal and floral elements are attracted towards the reef ecosystem and are closely associated with each other to form a community. Thus the reefs are also rich in biodiversity. Among the coral reef associates echinoderms are a conspicuous element on account of their size, abundance and effect on the reef ecosystem including the corals. In spite of their importance in the coral reef ecosystem and its conservation, very few studies were made on the echinoderm associates of the coral reefs. Though there were some studies elsewhere, the information on reef associated echinoderms of Indian coast is meager and scattered (see Anon, 1995). Hence an attempt is made here to collate the scattered accounts and unpublished information available with Zoological Survey of India. Since the information is from several originals and quoted references and many are to be cited often, these are avoided in the text and a comprehensive bibliography is appended which served as source material and also provides additional references of details and further information. ECHINODERMS OF CORAL REEFS More than 200 species of echinoderms occur in the reef ecosystem of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. These belong to five extant classes with 30 to 60 species of each class.

Although Karens have not been classified as tribals in the recent tribal notification, they form a minor ethnic group that has apparently been living amidst the forests of Mayabunder tehsil since decades. They posses extensive indigenous knowledge of the plants which they use in their ethnomedicinal practices. Information about 24 selected medicinal plants, their local names, parts used, methods of application and medicinal uses are recorded. The medicinal utilities of these plants used by Karens have not been recorded earlier. Ethnobotanical information related to agriculture, house building, canoe making and traditional artifacts are also recorded.

Hussain3 1Department of Civil Engineering, BIST, Bharath University, Selaiyur, Chennai 600 073. 2Department of Applied Geology, University of Madras, Guindy Campus, Chennai 600 025. 3Department of Geology, University of Madras, Guindy Campus, Chennai 600 025. Abstract This paper is a report on the field observation undertaken through the DST project immediately after the occurrence of December 26, 2004 earthquake of magnitude >M 9.0 that occurred off the west coast of Sumatra Island of Indonesia with its epicenter located on the shallow depths in the Indian Ocean. The tsunamigenic earthquake that occurred on 26th December 2004 in the Indian Ocean caused severe damage and claimed many victims in some coastal villages through out the Islands. The main purpose of the survey was to assess morphological changes caused by the wave attacks and to evaluate the impact of the event on buildings, bridges and infrastructure. Attention was predominantly focused on the entire group of Andaman Islands such as Diglipur (North Andaman), Mayabunder, Baratang and Rangat (Middle Andaman) and Port Blair, Havelock and Hut Bay areas (South Andamans and Little Andamans), were examined for the most affected places in the islands. The most severe damage was observed at Hut Bay, in Little Andaman, where the buildings and coastal walls and the jetties were almost levelled by the violent waves. Most places were hit by these waves with documented wave height often exceeding 2-5 m according to the evidence by the local people and by filed investigations.
