The Impact of a Fishing Harbour under Construction on the Distribution and Zonation of the Flora and the Molluscan Fauna of a Tropical Mangrove Ecosystem
Keyword(s):
The region concerned is Nizampatnam (15° 54ꞌN; 80° 43ꞌE), a major fishing village in the Krishna estuarine region, located at about 35 km south of Krishna River confluence in South India. This region is traversed by a number of canals (some are from river Krishna) and drains which open into the Bay of Bengal, and is characterized by the presence of swampy ground with dense to scattered mangroves. The coastal engineering project now under construction (for the last 3 years) at this region, is a Pishing Harbour. The present paper deals with the changes in the distribution, density and zonation of the flora and the molluscan fauna before and during the construction of this engineering project.
