  • Decline in Fish Species Diversity Due to Climatic and Anthropogenic Factors
    Heliyon 7 (2021) e05861 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Heliyon journal homepage: www.cell.com/heliyon Research article Decline in fish species diversity due to climatic and anthropogenic factors in Hakaluki Haor, an ecologically critical wetland in northeast Bangladesh Md. Saifullah Bin Aziz a, Neaz A. Hasan b, Md. Mostafizur Rahman Mondol a, Md. Mehedi Alam b, Mohammad Mahfujul Haque b,* a Department of Fisheries, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi, Bangladesh b Department of Aquaculture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: This study evaluates changes in fish species diversity over time in Hakaluki Haor, an ecologically critical wetland Haor in Bangladesh, and the factors affecting this diversity. Fish species diversity data were collected from fishers using Fish species diversity participatory rural appraisal tools and the change in the fish species diversity was determined using Shannon- Fishers Wiener, Margalef's Richness and Pielou's Evenness indices. Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted Principal component analysis with a dataset of 150 fishers survey to characterize the major factors responsible for the reduction of fish species Climate change fi Anthropogenic activity diversity. Out of 63 sh species, 83% of them were under the available category in 2008 which decreased to 51% in 2018. Fish species diversity indices for all 12 taxonomic orders in 2008 declined remarkably in 2018. The first PCA (climatic change) responsible for the reduced fish species diversity explained 24.05% of the variance and consisted of erratic rainfall (positive correlation coefficient 0.680), heavy rainfall (À0.544), temperature fluctu- ation (0.561), and beel siltation (0.503). The second PCA was anthropogenic activity, including the use of harmful fishing gear (0.702), application of urea to harvest fish (0.673), drying beels annually (0.531), and overfishing (0.513).

PDO-ICZMP project is expected to deliver six outputs and have its own scope, achievements and ongoing/proposed activities. Three of the outputs together relate to key stages in coastal development: the Coastal Zone Policy (CZPo), Coastal Development Strategy (CDS) and Priority Investment Program (PIP). PIP includes investments both in physical and social infrastructure development and improvements. The PIP includes three major activities: inventory of projects (activity 3.1), development criteria for Concept Notes (activity 3.2) and series of concept notes (activity 3.3). Therefore, inventory of the projects demands for the updated information of the projects and initiatives in the coastal zone with the aim to support the formulation process of concept notes (CNs) and corresponding coordination and harmonization procedures for their proper implementation. Earlier, three inventories: a) Pre-project inventory, January 2002; b) Inventory of projects and initiatives in the Coastal Zone (update), November 2002 and c) Inventory of projects and initiatives in the Coastal Zone (update), December 2003 were made.

  • Estimation, Carbon Stock, Sylhet Basin Soils
    J. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 46(1): 49-60, June 2020 ESTIMATION OF CARBON STOCK IN THE SYLHET BASIN SOILS OF BANGLADESH M.J. UDDIN*, ARAFAT RAHMAN, A.H.M. ZULFIQUAR ALI AND MD. KHALILUR RAHMAN Department of Soil, Water and Environment, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Abstract Wetland basin soils are the major store houses of organic carbon where there is a scope to use this carbon in mitigating the climate change. A study was conducted in these basin soils at 100 cm depth regarding their carbon stock. The study showed that total soil organic carbon (SOC) stock in the Sylhet basin soils of Bangladesh is 0.094 Pg where the SOC stock was 0.044 Pg in medium low land sites and it was about 0.050 Pg in lowland sites. There was no previous study on SOC stock in the Sylhet basin soils of Bangladesh. These may act as benchmark SOC stock datasets for the future agricultural planning. The soil organic carbon stock is higher in the lowland than medium lowland sites. The contents of SOC are low is compared to its threshold levels. Moreover, it is apprehended that basin soils may lose their carbon due to the decrease of inundation level by climate change, and other eco-environmental changes. So, it is very much urgent to take steps in preserving the organic carbon of lowland basin soils. Key words: Estimation, Carbon stock, Sylhet basin soils Introduction Soil organic carbon (SOC) is one of the main factors affecting soil quality and agricultural productivity. Being a source as well as storage of plant nutrients, SOC plays an important role in terrestrial C cycle (Freixo et al.

  • Cluster Based Management Approaches for Wetlands: CNRS’S Experience in CBFM-2 Project
    Conference Paper 06 Cluster based management approaches for wetlands: CNRS’s Experience in CBFM-2 project M. Mokhlesur Rahman and M. Anisul Islam* *Center for Natural Resource Studies (CNRS), House # 14, Road # 13/C, Block E, Banani, Dhaka-1213, Bangladesh 1 ABSTRACT Among the reasons for the loss and declining productivity of Bangladesh wetlands is a lack of understanding of the underlying causes of wetland resource depletion. Other constraints to sustainable management include a need for building consensus among stakeholders and their inability to take up appropriate measures. Of late, it has been recognized that local resource users, managers and controllers can play key roles in wetland management. Efforts have been made to involve local user communities in wetland and fisheries management in various capacities since the mid-nineties. Different organizations and projects adopted different modes of community participation in project planning and implementation. This paper describes cluster-based management systems, formation processes, legal status, scope of works, and community responses to the approaches in five sites managed by CNRS under the Community based Fisheries Management (Phase 2) project (CBFM-2). The paper presents some key achievements of cluster/apex based approaches relevant to wider area issues such as restricting harmful fishing practices, reclaiming khas lands from illegal occupation, fish friendly operation of sluice gates, basin-wide integrated management, stopping the sale of banned gears, conflict resolution in upstream-down stream areas, which may have been impossible for single water body-based CBOs. A cluster approach also encourages individual CBOs managing their respective water bodies within the wider area through periodic sharing of lessons, assisting each other’s needs and realizing services from local agencies which will have contributed towards developing capacity and sustainability beyond the project period.

  • Views from the Field Experiences of Hakaluki Haor
    Peer-Reviewed Article ISSN: 2574-3465 Print/ ISSN: 2574-3481 Online Volume 4, Issue 2 (2020), pp. 287-301 © Journal of Underrepresented and Minority Progress http://ojed.org/jump Fishing Community in Wetland Region of Bangladesh: Views from the Field Experiences of Hakaluki Haor Mohammad Ali Oakkas Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Bangladesh Md. Fakrul Islam University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh ABSTRACT This study is a part of doctoral dissertation which basically observes the socio-economic condition of the artisanal fishing community of Hakaluki Haor in Bangladesh. The original study is exploratory in nature, and both qualitative and quantitative approaches have been used to attain the goals and objectives of the study. The main objective of the current article is to identify the present socio-demographic background of Hoar fishing community in Bangladesh. Data analysis has focused on the actual situation of the household of fishing community from the Haor perspective. The findings of the study have been categorized on the basis of five capitals (i.e., social, human, physical, financial and natural resources) that structure the conceptual framework of the study. It is shown that most of the fishing community in the Haor basin are living under the most unpleasant and vulnerable conditions in terms of income, food security, housing patterns, health and sanitation conditions. Other issues center around child marriage, family planning, and social relations among the dwellers of the community. Also, among the observed problems are decision making, power practice, participation in development activities, socio-economic position in education and local institutions. Keywords: Artisanal; Bangladesh; Hakaluki Haor; Haor; Resources; Wetlands - 287 - INTRODUCTION Hakaluki Haor is the largest eco-based water body in Bangladesh and has the largest wetland resources of Bangladesh and Asia, lying between the latitude 24° 35' N to 24° 45' N and longitude 92° 00' E to 92° 08' E (Uddin et al.,2013).
