four documents contain findings of the studies conducted
in the 20 km belt along the coastline of Gujarat. Village
level socio-economic profile of all the districts and
talukas are given. Maps of each of the districts covered
with the stations marked are included. The documents provide
an analysis of oceanographic interactions with coastal
region. These contain detailed information on the impact
of industries and other developmental activities on agriculture
and allied activities, coastal geology, water quality
of important stations and plankton composition. |

| This
book consists of fourteen chapters and presents a detailed
account of the coastal and marine environments of Gujarat
as of AD 2000. From the ecology point of view the book
details geomorphology, bathymetry, climate, tides and
currents, hydrography, hydrochemistry, marine biology
and fisheries of the coastal waters of Gujarat. Four critical
habitats, e.g. mangroves, coral reefs and the estuaries
of Narmada and Tapi rivers have been separately described.
Special emphasis has been placed on the threats to Marine
Ecology. The latter half of the book deals with demography,
industry, agriculture, forestry, livestock, groundwater
and socio-economic aspects including land-use pattern
and infrastructure. |

| The
document presents information based on subtidal underwater
videography of coral reefs in Gulf of Kachchh. Out of
the total 34 coral reef islands present in Gulf of Kachchh,
four reefs were surveyed which include: Pirotan, Karumbhar,
Boria and Beyt Shankodar. The document describes reef
flora and fauna at each of the stations, along with colour
photographs. |

- Coral reefs of the Gulf of Kachchh- a sub-tidal
videograpghy. 82p. Rs. 500/-
|
| |
|
| This
monograph presents a detailed description of the sub-tidal
videography of thirteen prominent coral reefs of the Gulf
of Kachchh. The coral reefs are: Pirotan, Jindra beyt,
Chaad tapu, Bhens bid, Munde ka bet, Goos reef, Narara
beyt, Karumbhar tapu, Dhani beyt, Ajad tapu, Paga reef,
Boria and Beyt Shankodar. This is a pioneering study,
as all the information on record and inferences drawn
so far have been based on observations on inter-tidal
coral reefs. Current status of the sub-tidal corals and
their associated flora and fauna is presented through
a number of underwater colour photographs and satellite
imageries. A comparison of observations in February 1999
and December 2002 is also made. The monograph presents
some interesting findings. |
