It is bounded on the north by Viluppuram District, on the east by the Bay of Bengal, on the south by Nagapattinam District, and on the west by Perambalur District. The headquarters of the Cuddalore district is Cuddalore (11°44' 45" N and 79°45'56" E), a large industrial town which has experienced coastal development at a rapid rate. Cuddalore is situated about 160 kms south of Chennai, the state capital ( Fig.1.1). The district is drained by Gadilam and Pennaiyar rivers in the north, Vellar and Kollidam River (Coleroon) in south. The coastal stretch of Cuddalore extends from Gadilam estuary in the north to Pichavaram mangroves in the south, a total length of 42 km along the Bay of Bengal. The Bay of Bengal experiences severe tropical cyclones during the northeast monsoon (October through December), and nearly 60 cyclonic storms and SCS have been reported in the past century (Indian Meteorology Department (IMD) eAtlas 2011). An added risk factor is that large parts of this coastal zone are low-lying with a gentle slope, resulting in wide inundation areas, thus increasing the vulnerability of the region. Figure 1.1. Showing location map of Cuddalore District: 3 History: From ancient times the old town has been a seaport. For two centuries, Cuddalore had been subject to a number of foreign powers including the Netherlands, Portugal, France and more recently, the British. In the early 17th century, the Dutch obtained permission from the ruler of Cuddalore to build a fort there, but political pressure from their Portuguese rivals forced them to abandon it. Later, the French and English came to Cuddalore for trade and business. The French established a settlement 10 miles up the coast at Pondicherry in 1674, followed in 1690 by the British settlement of Fort St. David at Cuddalore. During the 18th century various wars between the European powers spilled over to their colonial empires, and to their allies, including those in the Indian sub-continent. During this period the French and British fought several times in the area. In 1746, during First Carnatic War, part of the War of the Austrian Succession, French forces besieged the British at Fort St. David for several months before being driven off in 1747. In 1758, during the Seven Years' War, the Fort was taken by the French, and there was an inconclusive naval action, the Battle of Cuddalore, off the coast. The fort was later abandoned, in 1760, when the British attacked Pondicherry. In 1782, during the Second Anglo-Mysore War, at the time of the American War of Independence, the French again took Cuddalore, and were besieged there in 1783 by the British. During the siege French and British naval forces again clashed off the Cuddalore coast. The siege failed, but the fort was returned to the British in 1795. In all there were five different naval actions off the coast during this period, all of which were indecisive. Some streets in Cuddalore retain their British names, such as Clive Street, Wellington Street, Sloper Street, Canning Street, Rope Street (Rope Street, Wellington Street, Sloper Street and Canning Street jointly known as Salangukara Village), Lawrence Road and Imperial Road. The Cuddalore Central Prison, opened in 1865, is a historically important landmark. Subramania Bharati and other political leaders served prison terms there. Land utilization: It is a predominately agricultural district with the coastline stretching from the Puducherry Union Territory in the north to the mouth of the River Coleroon in the south. The total geographical area of the district is 3706 km2 with a coast line of about 54 kms. It is 19th largest district in Tamil Nadu and ranked 332 in India in terms of total area. The district is 11th most populous district out of 32 districts in Tamil Nadu and it is 158th most populous 4 district in India. It is 7th most densely populated district in Tamil Nadu and 168th most densely populated bdistrict out of total 640 districts in India. Cuddalore District comprises 9 taluks, 14 Blocks, 5 Municipalities and 18 Town Panchayats shown in Fig1.2. Figure 1.2.

  • Studies on Floristic Diversity and Its Importance of Pichavaram Mangrove Reserve Forest, Tamil Nadu
    Studies on Floristic Diversity and its Importance of Pichavaram Mangrove Reserve Forest, Tamil Nadu D. C. Saini, Kamla Kulshrestha*, Shambhu Kumar, Deepak K. Gond and G.K.Mishra Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, 53 University Road, Lucknow, India *National Botanical Research Institute, Rana Pratap Marg, Lucknow, India Email: [email protected] Introduction The word "Mangrove" is considered to be a combination of the Portuguese word "Mangue" and the English word "grove". Mangroves are woody, specialized types of trees of the tropics that can live on the edge, where rainforests meet oceans occurring along the sheltered inter-tidal coastlines, mudflats, riverbanks in association with the brackish water margin between land and sea in tropical and subtropical areas. Mangroves have a very specialised adaptations that enable them to live in salty waters. Breathing roots allow them to survive in anaerobic sediments. Buttresses and above-ground roots enable them to grow in unstable 75% of its green cover within this century and about 90% mud flats. Their foliage removes excess salt from the sap, of the forest area is degrading (Krishnamurthy et al., and they conserve water to cope with periods of high 1995). Bearing this in mind, research was undertaken salinity. Their seeds are buoyant to allow them to during 2003-2004. disperse and establish themselves in new areas. Mangroves are salt-tolerant plants and the specific Pichavaram Mangrove Forest regions where these plants occur are termed as ‘mangrove ecosystem’. These are highly productive but The Study Area extremely sensitive and fragile. The area has already lost Pichavaram is located 51 km north east of 149 Chidambaram, in Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu, abundance, Vegetative Cover at Pichavaram have been between latitude 11°20' to 11°30' north and longitudes demarcated in Six zones; Avicennia marina is dominant 79°45' to 79°55' east.

  • Effects of a Cyclone on Waterbird Populations at the Pichavaram Mangroves, Southern India
    Effects of a cyclone on waterbird populations at the Pichavaram mangroves, southern India KrishnamoorthyThiyagesan and RajarathinaveluNagarajan Thiyagesan,K. and Nagarajan,R. 1997. Effectsof a cycloneon waterbirdpopulations at the Pichavaram mangroves,southern India. Wader Study Group Bull. 84:47-51 A severecyclone hit the Coramandalcoast of Tamilnadu,southern India on 4 December1993. The impactof this cyclone on the waterbirdpopulations of Pichavarammangrove forests was studied. Waterbirdnumbers and speciesrichness and speciesdiversity in 1994 were comparedwith censusdata collectedin 1993 and 1995 censusi.e. beforeand after the cycloneevent. The waterbirdpopulation in the area was 4,883 in January 1993, 3,060 in January 1994 and 5,091 in January 1995. The speciesrichness and speciesdiversity during 1994 was also lowerthan in the othertwo years. Althoughthe speciesrichness and speciesdiversity of these mangrovesreturned to normal after the cyclone,continuous monitoringof the bird populationsin this area is neededfor a few more years beforearriving at a definiteconclusion.
