  • Beach Carrying Capacity Analysis for Sustainable Tourism Development in the South West Coast of India
    Aplinkos tyrimai, inžinerija ir vadyba, 2013. Nr. 1(63), P. 67-73 ISSN 1392-1649 (print) Environmental Research, Engineering and Management, 2013. No. 1(63), P. 67-73 ISSN 2029-2139 (online) http://erem.ktu.lt Beach Carrying Capacity Analysis for Sustainable Tourism Development in the South West Coast of India Brilliant Rajan1, Vincy Mary Varghese2 and Anakkathil Purushothaman Pradeepkumar3 1Assistant Professor, PG Department of Environmental Science, St. John’s College, Anchal 2School of Environmental Sciences, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam 3Reader, Department of Geology, University of Kerala, Kariavattom http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.erem.63.1.2648 (received in October, 2012, accepted in March, 2013) The rapid growth of coastal tourism that has been seen in the last 10 years is frequently described as one of the major reasons for the development of these areas and also is responsible for many current coastal problems. The beaches perform, in this context, a fundamental role, where the issues related to planning and management are increasingly more important when it comes to an implementation of a sustainable development philosophy. In Kerala, where coastal tourism plays a major part of the state’s economy, the management of beaches is crucial for maintaining their quality and therefore continuing to attract tourists. Since the 1990s, with the application of Coastal Zone Management Plans to the whole Kerala coast, beach plans are now required. The concept of capacity has received considerable attention as a result of increasing anthropogenic pressure in certain natural environments. Much consideration has recently been given to an increase in coastal population, with the implication that the carrying capacity of the world’s coast is finite, and such consideration forms part of several coastal management initiatives.

A Survival Blueprint for the Cantor’s Giant Softshell Turtle Pelochelys cantorii in India. EDGE of Existence programme, Zoological Society of London, UK 1. STATUS REVIEW 1.1 Taxonomy: Class : Reptilia Order : Testudines Family : Trionychidae Genus : Pelochelys Species : Pelocheys cantorii (Gray, 1864) Common Name : Cantor’s Giant softshell turtle/ Asian Giant softshell turtle/ Local name : Bheemanama, Paala poovan (Malayalam) Synonyms: Pelochelys clivepalmeri (Hoser, 2014), P. cumingii (Gray, 1864), P. poljakowii (Strauch, 1890), P. telstraorum (Hoser, 2014), P. cantoris (Boulenger, 1889) Pelochelys cantorii (Gray, 1864) is one of the three species in the genus Pelochelys. The other two species are P. bibroni and P. signifera known only from Papua New Guinea and Indonesia (Papua), respectively. P. cantorii has a large distribution across south and south-east Asia (Das, 2008). It is among the largest freshwater turtles in the world with adults reaching a carapace length of around 100 cm (Das, 2008). Sexual dimorphism is present with males having longer and thicker tales than females; something common for other softshell turtles. Females are also larger in size than males (Das, 2008). According to the last IUCN Red List of threatened species assessment for the species, Pelochelys cantorii might hide a complex of several different species (ATTWG, 2000) A B Figure 1. An adult Pelochelys cantorii on the banks of Chandragiri river caught as by-catch in a fishing line (A), and a close-up head shot showing the keratinized sheath or “teeth” of the species (B).

The results indicate the deposits causing high background radiation necessity of an in depth study in the region. along its long coastline of Kerala and Tamil Nadu in India. The extent and effects of the Keywords: Gamma ray spectrometer, Specific radioactivity in this region is well studied and Activity, Radium equivalent activity, Gamma are available in literature. Other regions along absorbed dose rate. the coast are assumed to have normal radiation levels. Still, it has been observed that certain regions along the coast have regions of high INTRODUCTION radioactivity with a highly heterogeneous nature of distribution. We have made a brief Radionuclides occurring naturally in building investigation to study the extend and diversity of materials are sources of external and internal levels in one of the coastal thaluk, which is radiation exposure in dwellings, besides gamma otherwise known as normal background region. radiation and cosmic radiation. External The gamma spectrometric measurement was radiation exposure is caused by the gamma used for the estimation of natural radioactivity in radiation originating from members of the 40 soil samples collected in a systematic way from uranium and thorium decay chain and from k.
