Shallow Landslides Around Port Blair, Andaman, India Using Multi - Variant Geospatial Analysis Techniques

The results reveal that humans have settled around moderate (18.69%) and high (11.95%) landslide hazard prone area. Majority of the study area 69.35% falls in low hazard category and is covered by forest. Low hazard zone is highly suitable for future expansion of built up area.

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 Hence an attempt is made here to collate the scattered accounts and unpublished information available with Zoological Survey of India.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. -
SWOT Data Contributors
SWOT Data Contributors Guidelines of Data Use and Citation The olive and Kemp’s ridley nesting data below correspond directly to this report’s feature maps (pages 32–34), and are organized alphabetically by country, then by data record number as listed on the map. every data record with a point on the map is numbered to correspond with that point. The data come from a wide variety of sources and in many cases have not been previously published. To use data for research or publication, you must obtain permission from the data provider and must cite the original source indicated in the “data source” field of each record. in the records that follow, nesting data are reported from the most recent available year or nesting season or are reported as an annual average number of clutches based on the reported years of study. raw count data are reported as number of clutches, but are displayed on the maps in generalized bins (e.g., 1–10 clutches, 11–100 clutches, and so on) to facilitate interpretation. For more information on data conversions, see the box on page 31. Beaches for which count data were not available are listed as “unquantified.” Additional metadata are available for many of these data records, including information on beach length, monitoring effort, and other comments, and may be found online at www.seaturtlestatus.org. Following nesting data records, we have also included citations for satellite telemetry, genetic stocks, and information used to create the global distributions. Special Acknowledgments s pecial thanks go to Brendan Hurley for extraction, synthesis, and formatting of published data displayed in the maps. -
