In the focus of above context, the current study describes the mangrove dynamics of Krishna wildlife Sanctuary (KWS) of Andhra Pradesh (AP) state using spatio-temporal satellite data. The study elucidates degradation of mangroves of this region along with the restoration steps taken by the forest department in collaboration with M. S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF). 2. Study area: Krishna Wildlife Sanctuary (KWS) AP state ranks fourth in terms of mangrove areas (35,200 ha- FSI 2013)

Introduction Mangroves have different economic benefits. Nowadays, destruction of mangrove forest is very alarming. During the year 1918, mangroves forest is about 500, 000 hectares wide. In the Philippines, from the estimated 448, 000 hectares in 1920’s have been declined to 110, 000 hectares in the year 1990 and it reached 130, 000 hectares by the year 2000, as stated by Lunar and Laguardia (2012). Human anthropogenic activities such as conversion of mangroves into fishpond, shrimp farm, salt ponds

In this lab, the seeds in the pH of seven, pure water, grew the most out of both trials, just as predicted. In trial one, the radish seeds in pure water grew gradually over the period of six days, reaching the germination of 23 of the 25 seeds. However, all of the seeds in the other Petri dishes showed no growth over this course of time. Trial two mimicked about the same data, with 21 of the 25 seeds germinating in pure water and no growth in the other Petri dishes. The water in the Petri dishes

1.0 Introduction “A mangrove is a tree, shrub, palm or ground fern, generally exceeding one and a half metres in height, which normally grows above mean sea level in the intertidal zone of marine coastal environments and estuarine margins. A mangrove is also the tidal habitat comprising such trees and shrubs” (Mangroves defined, n.d.). To survive in an intertidal environment, they must be able to tolerate a broad range of salinity, temperatures and moisture levels. In an environment with such low

A mangrove can be defined as a tree, shrub, palm or ground fern, usually exceeding a length of one meter in height. It will generally grow above the average tidal level in a marine coastal environment. The word mangrove can also mean the same as ‘rainforest’ or ‘tidal forest’ because this is the environment, when in large quantities, mangroves are known to create. According to MARINEBIO, (1998-2014) most mangrove species can be found in South East Asia, The United States and the western Hemisphere;

Fraser Coast consists of four main ecosystems which are rocky shores, sand dunes, rainforests and mangroves. All of these ecosystems are important to the survival of several plants and animals. Each plant and animal work together to keep the ecosystem alive and healthy. Rocky Shores are found where the sea meets the land which supports a diverse mix of plants and animals that have adapted to survive in the unique conditions of constant wave action as well as the fall of tides (Ehp.qld. 2016). Most

Chennai is the biggest industrial and commercial centre in South India. Also, it is known for being a major cultural, economic and educational centre. Since Chennai is located on the Coromandel Coast off the Bay of Bengal, a rise in sea level poses a threat to coastal areas and becomes a risk to people’s lives, food, security as well as infrastructure and biodiversity. Because of this, there will be many impacts on the human environment, such as affecting tourism. Chidambaram and how flooding will

Introduction. Genetically modified foods are foods produced from organisms that have had specific changes (adding, deleting, changing segments) introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering.(King 2009) So they could produce desirable traits or eliminate undesirable traits, a process that enables transfer of genes between different species that would not interbreed in nature. 1983 marked the first ever transgenic plant. This was a tobacco plant that was created with antibiotic

Mangroves in Australia The mangrove communities of Australia are some of the most highly adaptive plant communities in the world. These plants live in an environment that is often engulfed with seawater. This environment is considered an arid environment due to the lack of fresh water. The plants of the mangrove community must develop several adaptations to deal with the environment. The environment these plants often inhabit is referred to as an intertidal zone. The intertidal zone is

Mangroves in Australia Introduction Mangroves are an integral part of the Australian ecosystem. They are valuable ecologically, economically and socially. Mangroves provide nurseries to an abundance of marine species which would die if the ecosystem was knocked out of balance. They also account for about 75% of commercially caught fish in Australia. Unfortunately mangroves are under constant threat from humans. Since European settlement in Australia, around 17% of Australia's mangroves have been
