  • Development Or Despoilation? - Krishnakumar
    Andaman Islands: Development or Despoilation? - Krishnakumar DEVELOPMENT OR DESPOILATION? The Andaman Islands under colonial and postcolonial regimes M.V. KRISHNAKUMAR Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi <[email protected]> Abstract The last quarter of the 19th Century marked an important watershed in the history of the Andaman Islands. The establishment of a penal settlement and an Imperial forestry service, along with other radical changes in the islands’ traditional economy and society, completely transformed the basic pattern of their forest resource use and entire system of forest management. These colonial policies, directly or indirectly, had a drastic impact on the indigenous population and island ecology. This article analyses the sources of environmental change in the Andaman Islands by examining the general ecological impacts of the state initiated development programmes. It also analyses the ‘civilising missions’ and forestry operations undertaken by British colonial administrators as well as the Indian state’s development initiatives under the ‘Five Year Plans’ that followed Indian independence in 1947. Keywords Andaman Islands, forestry, development, environmental change, Andaman tribes Introduction On December 26th 2004 a tsunami triggered by an earthquake off the south east coast of Sumatra swept across the Indian Ocean swamping many low-lying coastal areas and causing death, destruction of properties and infrastructure and despoliation of crops. Amongst those territories worst affected by the surge were the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. When Indian prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh visited the islands in the immediate aftermath of the flooding he identified that the project to reconstruct and rehabilitate coastal areas of islands provided the opportunity for a ‘New Andamans’ in which sustainable agriculture and fishery enterprises could exist in harmony with the natural environment.

  • 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.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by CMFRI Digital Repository Implications for Conservation of Coral Reefs in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India R. Jeyabaskaran1, K. Venkataraman2 and J.R.B. Alfred1 Abstract The Andaman and Nicobar Islands comprised of 306 Islands and 226 rocks covering about 948.8 km2 coral reefs and 762 km2 mangrove areas. There are 106 protected areas in these Islands, 96 designated as wildlife sanctuaries, 9 national parks and one biosphere reserve. Among the 9 national parks, 2 are marine national parks which have not yet inventoried thoroughly. There are about 6540 species of fauna, 2500 species of flora reported from these islands. About 4% of marine species are endemic. Natural and human impacts on coral reefs have been increasing in recent years. The Indian Ocean tsunami on December 26, 2004 caused severe damage to coral reefs of these Islands. About 4000 ha of North Andaman, 1211 ha of South Andaman and 3500 ha of Nicobar Island reefs were damaged due to tsunami. All corals and important associated animals are protected under Indian Wildlife Act, 1972 and Biodiversity Act, 2002. The tribal people of Nicobar Islands are exempted from the wildlife act and it cause extensive damage to coral reef associated fauna. Nowadays poaching and tourism developments are the major threats to reefs. There are 1,10,000 tourists are visiting the islands during the calm weather season from October to February.
