Nachiket Kelkar 30.11.2010 2 Project Summary Green turtles Chelonia mydas, although globally endangered, attain exceptionally high densities in the Lakshadweep coral atolls of the Indian Ocean, where they congregate for feeding on seagrasses in shallow lagoons. The herbivorous green turtles are thought to be important ecosystem modifiers of seagrass meadows. Recent studies estimated that the impact of sustained herbivory by green turtles in seagrass meadows in the Agatti lagoon, Lakshadweep Islands was highly significant, and led to declines in abundance, biomass, growth-rates and changes in species composition of seagrasses. Lagoon fishing in the seagrass meadows is an important activity for the Lakshadweep islanders depend on lagoon fish catch as a means of subsistence.

    Epidemiological and entomological aspects of an outbreak of chikungunya in Lakshadweep Islands, India, during 2007 R.S. Sharmaa#, M.K. Showkath Alib, G.P.S. Dhillona aNational Vector-Borne Disease Control Programme, Delhi – 110 054, India bNational Institute of Communicable Diseases, Kozhikode, Kerala, India Abstract Since 2006, the Indian state of Kerala has reported outbreaks of chikungunya (CHIK). During July- August 2007, an unusual increase in the incidence of fever was noticed in Kadmat, Amini and Kavaratti Islands in the Union Territory of Lakshwadeep, a group of Indian islands adjacent to the Kerala coast in the Arabian Sea. The populations affected as per the primary health centre (PHC) records of three islands, viz. Kadmat, Amini and Kavaratti, was 85%, 1.4% and 0.15% respectively. Entomological surveys revealed very high larval indices of Aedes albopictus only in the three surveyed islands. Aedes aegypti, the classical vector of dengue, was not detected. The maximum breeding of Ae. albopictus was found in coconut shells (57%), tyres (9%), metal containers (9%) and plastic containers (8%). The breeding was also detected in tree holes and rat-bitten coconuts on top of the trees. The House Index for Ae. albopictus ranged between 95.4% in Kavaratti to 79% in Amini. Kadmat island which was the worst affected, recording the maximum Container Index of 90%, compared with 40% in Amini island. The CHIK outbreak seemed to have been caused by importation of the virus from Kerala, because of heavy movement of the islanders to the mainland.

Seven seagrass species under five genera were recorded from nine islands and no seagrass was found at Bitra island. Out of seven seagrass species, Cymodocea serrulata was found to be dominant in the Lakshadweep group of islands whereas Halophila decipiens was found only in Kalpeni island. Biomass varied widely from 72+9 to 944+99 gfr.wt.m-2 among all the species of seagrasses. Productivity also showed clear variation within the species and between the species at different stations. Productivity of the species varied from 2.76+0.17 mgCm-2day-1 to 95.53+10.06 mgCm-2day-1 and it was in the following order of increase: H. decipiens< H. pinifolia< H. uninervis< T. hemprichii< C. rotundata< S. isoetifolium < C. serrulata.

These suggested solutions will evaporate cleanly from metal and glass surfaces. TO CLEAN THE CASE AND CRYSTAL Moisten a soft cloth with one of the above solutions. Gently wipe the case and crystal clean. Be careful not to put too much stress on the crystal as you clean. Avoid immersing or soaking the case or crystal portion of the watch, regardless of water-resistance rating. TO CLEAN THE BAND OR STRAP METAL Dip a cotton swab into one of the above solutions and gently rub it on the unclean area of the band. For more intricate mesh bands, you may want to use a soft-bristle toothbrush or nailbrush. Be sure to cover the case of the watch during this process so as not to soak it. For stubborn dirt, you may want to take your watch in to the nearest SKAGEN location. SILICON, FELT AND CERAMIC Simply wipe the strap down with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid soaps and solvents as they may damage the material. LEATHER Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth, using water only.

DISTRIBUTION AND DIVERSITY OF MARINE FLORA IN CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEMS OF KADMAT ISLAND IN LAKSHADWEEP ARCHIPELAGO, ARABIAN SEA, INDIA. VIJAY V. DESAI ', DEEPALI S. KOMARPANT and TANAJI G. JAGTAP ABSTRACT The coral reef of Kadmat Island of Lakshadweep was assessed for its biological components along with relevant hydrological characteristics. Corals were represented by 12 species, the most dominant being Acropora and Porites. The distribution of coral was mainly confined to the reef slope and fore reef; however, the cover was very poor except for a few patches on the fore reef towards northwest (< 10%). The lagoon and reef flats were almost devoid of corals. The low counts (0-80x10~ cells I-') and poor composition (11 spp.) of phytoplanktons could be due to oligotrophic waters around the island. The high contents of dissolved oxygen (DO) might be due to photosynthetic activities of macrophytes in the lagoon. Seagrass meadow occupied only 0.14 km2 area of the lagoon leaving 98% of it barren. It was more prominent in the mid- and landward region of the lagoon due to fine and well-sorted thick sediment. Seagrass flora was comprised of two species and was dominated by Cymodocea rotundata.

  • Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2002
    Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2002 Edited by Clive Wilkinson PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor Dedication This book is dedicated to all those people who are working to conserve the coral reefs of the world – we thank them for their efforts. It is also dedicated to the International Coral Reef Initiative and partners, one of which is the Government of the United States of America operating through the US Coral Reef Task Force. Of particular mention is the support to the GCRMN from the US Department of State and the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. I wish to make a special dedication to Robert (Bob) E. Johannes (1936-2002) who has spent over 40 years working on coral reefs, especially linking the scientists who research and monitor reefs with the millions of people who live on and beside these resources and often depend for their lives from them. Bob had a rare gift of understanding both sides and advocated a partnership of traditional and modern management for reef conservation. We will miss you Bob!
