MSc: THE POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR DECLINE IN POPULATION OF OLIVE RIDLEY TURTLES- A CASE STUDY

The case study undertaken is aimed to assess the possible causes for the decline in the population of Olive Ridley sea turtles off Visakhapatnam coast. A total of four water samples were analyzed from major zones in the city and analyzed for various physico-chemical parameters. The nests and eggs were analyzed as well to note all types of cases including undeveloped eggs and a comparative study was done annually from 2007 about the number of eggs hatched, dead and undeveloped.

There is a dire need to protect the sea turtles and raising awareness among fishermen who live near the coastal regions and tourists who visit as it will go a long way since there will be a presence of local action for this cause to protect sea turtles.

PAPER PRESENTED at Andhra University: CONSERVATION OF BIODIVERSITY IN INDIA As we all know by now, Biodiversity is essential for maintaining the ecological functions, including stabilizing of the water cycle, maintenance and replenishment of soil fertility, pollination and cross- fertilization of crops and other vegetation, protection against soil erosion and stability of food producing and other ecosystems. Conservation of biological diversity leads to conservation of essential ecological diversity to preserve the continuity of food chains. Biodiversity provides the base for the livelihoods, cultures and economies of several hundred millions of people, including farmers, fisher folk, forest dwellers and artisans. It provides raw material for a diverse medicinal and health care systems. It also provides the genetic base for the continuous up-gradation of agriculture, fisheries, and for critical discoveries in scientific, industrial and other sectors. The rapid erosion of biodiversity in the last few decades has impacted on the health of the land, waterbodies and people. The rapid loss of species we are seeing today is estimated by experts to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate. BSc: WASTE WATER TREATMENT ABILITY POTENTIAL BY AZOLLA AND SALVINIA BY PHYTOREMEDIATION- A CASE STUDY

The objective of the work is to assess the remediation potential of aquatic plants i.e Azolla and Salvinia with canteen waste water.

Many treatment activities emit pollutants while purification. These pollutants cannot be easily mitigated nor remediated. Hence an ecological method for treating waste water is essential to not only reduce residual pollution but also due to its economic feasibility. Hence I conducted a case study with my two colleagues and found that a good reduction in many physico-chemical characteristics was observed and it was also beneficial to the plants which showed an accelerated growth rate. Today many conventional waste water treatment facilities fail in satisfying all demands of ecologically aware societies. This is because they neither harmonize with the principles of water conservation nor enable reclamation. Hence purification by aquatic plants is an effective way as it is environment friendly as well as economical without the potential release of any toxic sludge.
