In-situ Water Analysis on boats and coastal sites

1. pH

The pH remains alkaline throughout the study. The pH results of profiled seawater which ranged

from 7.24 to 8.52 are indicative of alkaline with observed trend reported for tropical Ocean

waters. The maximum pH was observed at Pirotan (8.52) in the month January and minimum pH

was observed at Vavaniya (7.24) in the month of April. The high pH observed due to the influence

of low temperature and organic matter decomposition, (Ganesan, 1992).

In the present study, the temperature ranges between 19.10 ⁰C to 34.50 ⁰C. The maximum temp

was observed at Khijadiya (34.50 ⁰C) in the month of April and minimum temp was observed at

Surajbari (19.10 ⁰C) in the month of January.

3. Conductivity

The Conductivity values ranges from 48.95 mS to 74.91 mS in GoK. The maximum value observed

at Vavaniya (74.91 mS) in the month of January and minimum value observed at Okha (48.95 mS)

in the month of March. In the above result, the highest conductivity reached up to 74.91 because

its dissolve solids were also high. The results of creek area are quite high because the dissolve

solids were comparatively high. The high conductivity is due to the accumulation of salts (P.

Satheeshkumar and B. Anisa Khan, 2009).

TDS or Total Dissolved Solids refers to the amount of dissolved ions, minerals, salts, metals and

other chemicals in water. The results of TDS range between 17.42 mg/L to 40.41 mg/L. The

maximum results of TDS observed at Vavaniya (40.40 mg/L) in the month of January and

minimum value observed at Dwarka (17.42 mg/L) in the month of April. There is no significance

change in the TDS results of Coral sites.

5. Turbidity

Turbidity values ranges from 3.08 to 461.00 NTU in GoK. The maximum value observed at

Surajbari (461.00 NTU) in the month of February and minimum value observed at DM (3.08 NTU)

in the month of January. In the above results the Turbidity of Surajbari, Vavaniya and Jodiya

found very high as the sites are Mangrove dominated and it has highly muddy area. There is no

significance change in the results of coral sites.

maximum value observed at Khijadiya (69114 mg/L) in the month of February and minimum

value observed at Narara (25567 mg/L) in the month of February.

9. Acidity

One of the most important components of the Chemical Perspective of Oceanography is the

carbonate system, primarily because it controls the acidity of seawater and acts as a governor for

the carbon cycle. Within the mix of acids and bases in the Earth-surface environment, the

carbonate system is the primary buffer for the acidity of water, which determines the reactivity

of most chemical compounds and solids. The carbonate system of the ocean plays a key role in

controlling the pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which helps to regulate the

temperature of the planet (Emerson and Hedges, Chemical Oceanography). In the present study

the Acidity values ranges from 10 mg/L as CaCO3 to 135 mg/L as CaCO3 in GoK. Acidity is inversely

proportional to alkalinity.

The major portion of alkalinity in natural waters is caused by hydroxide, carbonate and

bicarbonate. For practical purposes, alkalinity due to other materials in natural water is

insignificant and may be ignored. In the present study the Alkalinity values ranges from 85 mg/L

as CaCO3 to 290 mg/L as CaCO3 in GoK. Alkalinity is inversely proportional to acidity.

11. Total Hardness

11.1 Calcium Hardness

Figure-2.12 Calcium Hardness for water (Selected sites of the GoK)

11.2 Magnesium Hardness

Calcium and magnesium play an important role in antagonizing the toxic effects of various ions

and neutralizing the excess acid produced (Das &Srivastava, 2003).Calcium is an important part

of plant tissue, increases the availability of other ions reduces the toxic effect of NO2-N (Manna

& Das, 2004) and this might have played a vital role in the growth of phytoplankton. The total

hardness is due to the presence of divalent of which calcium and magnesium.

In the present study the Total hardness values ranges from 5440mg/L as CaCO3 to 11840 mg/Las

CaCO3 in GoK. In The hardness of the Coral dominated sites are obtained uniform and no

significant change is observed.

12. Nitrite

In this study the nitrate value is observed form 0.00 mg/L to 0.06 mg/L. Natural water has a low

nitrite concentration because bacteria quickly convert Nitrite to other more stable nitrogen ions.

Nitrite is an unstable nitrogen ion, an intermediate ion in nitrification/denitrification process, a

nitrogen source for algae or phytoplankton.

The higher concentration of nitrite and seasonal variation could be attributed due to the

variation in phytoplankton, excretion and oxidation of ammonia and reduction of nitrite (Kannan

and Kannan, 1996). The low content of nitrites during the summer was due to less freshwater

input, higher salinity, higher pH and also uptake by phytoplankton. The same was recorded by

Chandran (1982),Sivakumar (1992) and Shekar (1987) from Vellar estuary; Patterson Edwards

and Ayyakannu (1991) from Kolhdarn estuary and MathevanPillai (1994) from

CuddaloreUppanar estuary. Kannan and Kannan (1996) from Palk Bay from Uppanar estuary and

Satpthy (1996) from coastal water of Kalpakkam.

13. Phosphate

The phosphates are essential for the growth of organisms and a nutrient that limits the primary

productivity of the water body. In this study the Phosphate value is observed form 0.14 mg/L to

4.20 mg/L.

Inorganic phosphorous plays a dynamic role in aquatic ecosystem, when present in low

concentration is one of the most important nutrients. The variation may be due to the various

processes like adsorption and desorption of phosphates and buffering action of sediment under

varying environmental conditions (Rajasegar, 2003).

The soil pH value ranged from 6.75 to 8.60. Saravana Kumar et al., 2008 reported the soil pH ranged

nearly from 6.96 to 8.56 of mangrove area of Gulf of Kachchh. The soil pH was highest in January and

March at Mandvi and lowest in April at Mandvi. Mangrove soil is always alkaline as reported by various

authors (Tam et al., 1995; Tam and Wong, 1998). The value of pH indicating acidic condition recorded

during higher temperature may be due to the oxidation of FeSO4 and FeS to H2SO4 (Holmeret al., 1994).

Soil acidity may have resulted also from decomposition of mangrove litter (Lacerda et al., 1995).

Department of Agriculture (USDA) textural triangle classification. The results obtained showed

that Mandvi had high content of Sand; above 95% and was of Sand textural class. While Poshitra,

Sikka and Vavaniya had of Silt loam textural class showing high content of silt; above 50% in most

of the months. Narara showed high content of Sand; above 50% whereas it showed almost 20 -

40 % silt in most of the months and low percent of clay. Kalubhar and Khijadiya showed high

content of Silt; above 50 % in most of the months while it showed almost up to 20 % of clay. D.M

most of the months. Pirotan showed high content of sand and almost up to 50 % of silt and less

percent of clay in most months showing variation from Loamy sand to Silt loam to Sandy loam.

Jodiya comes in the Sandy Loam textural class as it has less percent of clay.

3. Bulk Density

The Bulk Density of a soil is the ratio of the mass of the solid phase of the dried soil to its total

volume (solid and pore volumes together).Soils containing higher Organic Matter have lower

Bulk Density, whereas compaction increases the Bulk Density. (Maiti S.K., (2011). Handbook of

Methods on Environmental Studies Volume: 2). Bulk density greater than 1.8 gm/cm3 are

considered as extremely bad for plant growth. For better plant growth bulk density should range

around 1.4 gm/cm3 for clayey soil and 1.6 gm/cm3 for sandy soil (USDA-NRCS, 2008).The bulk

density results ranges from 0.10 g/cm3 to 0.75 g/cm3. The bulk density observed highest in

December at Poshitra and lowest in January at Surajbari. The Bulk density did not differ

significantly among the GoK. Higher bulk density obtained due to sand deposition (Karen et al.,

2002, Moreno and Calderon, 2011).

4. Particle Density

The weight per unit volume of the solid portion of soil is called Particle Density. With increase in

Organic Matter of the soil the Particle Density decreases. Particle Density is higher if large

amount of heavy minerals such as magnetite; limonite and hematite are present in the soil.

Particle density for Sandy soil is 2.65 g/cm3, Silty soil is 2.79 g/cm3, and for clayey soil is 2.83

g/cm3 (http://www.agriinfo.in).

The particle density results ranged from0.02 g/cm3 to 0.45 g/cm3. The particle density observed

highest in December at Poshitra and lowest in March at Mandvi.

5. Organic Carbon (OC)

Organic carbon (OC) obtained in the soil through the decomposition of plant and animal

residues, root exudates, living and dead microorganisms, and soil biota. The organic carbon

results ranges from 0.05 % to 2.13 %. Organic carbon observed highest in April at DM and lowest

in February at Narara. Decomposition of mangrove litter was higher at DM as compared to the

other sites.

6. Organic Matter (OM)

Organic matter in the sediments is derived from plant life of the sea or land or both. The amount

of sedimentary organic matter depends upon the rate of deposition of organic and inorganic

matter and rate of decomposition of organic matter following its deposition (Sundararajan and

Srinivasalu, 2010). The organic matter results ranges from 0.09 % to 3.66 %. Organic carbon

observed highest in April at DM and lowest in February at Narara. At DM decomposition rate is

high so OM is slightly higher. Dark color soil contains high organic matter than light color soil

(Master Gardner Manual References (1998), Chapter-2).

7. Moisture Content

It is the amount of natural water trapped within the soil. The capacity of soils to retain moisture

is greatly increased by high levels of organic matter. The moisture content results ranged from

10.11 % to 93.08 %. Moisture content observed highest in December at Kalubhar and lowest in

January at Mandvi. Sandy type soil has low water holding capacity than other type of soils.

work under ICZMP. The foundation is working in Environment and Ecological field area. The site

selection criteria for the biophysical parameter monitoring are such as, less anthropogenic and

ecological importance area, isolate Islands, Coral Reefs, high density mangrove cover. The above

mentioned result shows higher diversity of plankton due to their ecological significance. Burckle

(1971) suggests that “anomalously high concentrations of planktonic forms can exist where none

existed in the local, living assemblage.”

A total of 31 families of phytoplankton recorded from the GoK (during November to February) of

which belong to 57 genera and 126 species.

The Phytoplanktons were composed of 126 species in 57 genera of 4divisions communities in the

GOK (during August, November to February). Division Bacillariophyta had the highest number of

species (110 species, 86 %), followed by the division Dinophyta (6species, 5 %), Chlorophyta (5

species, 4 %), Cyanophyta (3 species, 2 %), and Unidentified (4 species, 3 %). Ditoms were

Predominance in the studied area as well as centric and pinnate forms were higher in numbers.

Diatoms are morphologically larger in size compared to other phyto-planktonic forms, also their

high rate of sinking and less floating efficiency on surface. Thus, to withstand this problem,

diatom always prefers to inhabit and dominates the phytoplankton community in shallow,

turbulent and upwelling region i.e. coastal region (Stowe, 1996).According to Raymont (1980),

the diatom species such as, Planktoniella sol, Thalassionema nitzschioides, Chaetoceros

compressus, Leptocylindrus danicus, Skeletonema costatum and the Dinoflagellate species

Prorocentrum micans and Ceratium furca form typical members of warm water phytoplankton.

Above mentioned species were recorded in the present study.

Primary Productivity

Primary Productivity is the rate of synthesis of organic matter from inorganic materials. Primary

productivity is expressed in grams of carbon bound in to organic material per square-meter of

ocean surface area per year (g or mg carbon/m2/yr.). Most photosynthesis utilizes a pigment

called chlorophyll to absorb sunlight. The organic material produced is usually glucose, C6H12O6,

a simple sugar or carbohydrate.

Survey of Coastal Flora of Gulf of Kachchh

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Coastal vegetation serves as an ecological niche between terrestrial and marine realms, and form

important nature conservation sites. There are different types of vegetation on the coast of the

Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) these include mangroves and their associates, scrub jungles, aquatic

vegetation, and coastal sand dune vegetation. Coastal plants have a function in their

environment. Plant roots help to bind and hold soil and sand together and provide food for

animals. The beachfront, rock platforms and cliffs are the first point of attack on our coastline by

severe storms that may cause coastline erosion. Cliffs and rock platforms, while containing

relatively little vegetation, are structurally equipped to resist coastal erosion. However,

vegetation on rocky cliffs is still vital to preserving the long-term integrity of our coastline.

Seaweeds are known to human beings since long time as a source of food and fodder. The

‘seaweeds’ term refers to all marine algal forms. The previous literature shows that, Gujarat coast

harbours around 210 species of marine algae (Seaweed) having a projected biomass of >1,00000

tonnes (fresh weight) year-1 and the Gulf contributes to the maximum species and biomass level

as well for the west coast of India (Untawale et al., 1981)

3.2 STUDY AREA

The Gulf of Kachchh (Okha to Abdasa taluka coast including islands). The study area has been

categorizes into three zone based on the district boundaries i.e. Jamnagar, Rajkot and Kachchh.

3.3 BACKGROUND (upto third interim)

Floristic exploration of coastal areas of the GoK was started from October 2011. From October

2011 to November 2012, 100 transects were laid from Okha to Mandvi. Total 2966 quadrats

were laid, out of that 1318 were of 5×5 mt. and 1648 of 1×1 mt. Total 178 plant species were

recorded. Out of that 1 was of Gymnosperm and 177 species were belonging to Angiosperms.

Recorded 177 Angiosperm species were belonging to 146 Genera and 60 Families. The ratio of

Family to Genera and Species was 1: 2.43: 2.98. Poaceae was the largest family from the

Monocotyledons (10 species) whereas Fabaceae is the largest family among the Dicotyledons.

3.4 OBJECTIVES

To prepare inventory of the coastal floral diversity in the GoK (Including Islands).

To categorise the floral diversity based upon species dominance, abundance and richness etc.

To prepare a conservation status of plant species (rare, vulnerable and threaten category).

3.5 WORK DONE FROM NOVEMBER’2012 to MAY’2013

3.5.1 Review of Literature

Available international and national level references were collected through internet and from

libraries and were reviewed. Rodrigues et.al. (2011) revealed a total 338 species of Coastal Sand

Dune flora, of which 92 species are found to be common to the west and east coasts. The west

coast showed a greater diversity than the east coast, accounting 267 and 163 species

respectively. GEER Foundation (2004) reported 300 coastal floral species under 207 genera and

77 families from GOK. GEER Foundation, (2009) reported 133 plant species only in the Coastal

areas of South Gujarat. Literature review has been done and will be done throughout the study

period.

A check list of coastal floral species was prepared on the basis of secondary literature. A check

list of Halophytes was also prepared on the basis of secondary literature. Krishnamurthy and

Joshi (1970) has published “A Checklist of Indian Marine Algae” listing 520 species from the

Indian coast including 153 species from Gujarat. The checklist was further updated by

Untawaleet. al. (1981) and Oza and Zaidi (2001) and reported 620 species and 844 species

respectively from the Indian coast. Sahoo et al. (2001) have reported nearly 770 species of

seaweeds from the Indian marine environments. Reddy (2009) has reported 189 seaweed

species from the Gujarat coast. GEC (2013) reported 78 species of seaweeds from GoK.

3.5.2 Study Area of Present Work

3.5.2.1 Study area for coastal terrestrial flora:

Previously, floristic explorations were done from Okha to Mandvi. During this period, study was

extended upto Abdasa taluka of Kachchh district. In Abdasa taluka, the coastal areas from Chhachhi

to Suthari villages have been explored and 2 transects were laid.


26

3.5.2.2 Study area for Seaweeds or macro algae:

The intertidal areas in the GoK were explored to study the seaweed diversity. Total 19 sites were

selected for the study during this time period. Total 98 transects in 490 quadrates (size: 1X1m2)

were laid to study % cover of seaweeds in the intertidal areas.

3.5.3 Methodology

3.5.3.1. For Coastal terrestrial flora: As per earlier interim reports

3.5.3.2 SEAWEEDS study:

Methods for seaweeds:

The data collection of seaweeds from the intertidal area was carried out during the low tide time.

Random sampling method was followed for data collection.

3.5.3.2.2 Data collection from line transects

For quantitative assessment of the seaweeds in a selected study area, transects were laid

perpendicular to the coast from high tide to the low tide. Quadrate of 1X1 sq. mt was

used for the quantitative data collection of seaweeds. The quadrates were laid at 20

meters interval in the line transects and the distance of 100 m. was maintained between

two subsequent transects. The parameter such as % cover was measured within the

quadrat.

Collection of seaweeds in the field: Seaweed specimens were collected using forceps

and preserved it following the standard methods. Photo documentation of seaweed was

also done in the field. Collected samples were kept in the polyethylene bags/containers

with proper labelling for further preservation and identification at the later stage in the

laboratory. The herbarium specimen was prepared from the collected samples of

seaweeds.

3.5.3.2.4 Documentation: Documentation has been done in the form of photographs as well as

macro algal species have been preserved by preparing herbarium specimen.

3.5.4 Results

3.5.4.1 Coastal Terrestrial Flora:

3.5.4.1.1 Over view of vegetation: The coastal areas were found predominantly covered with

shrubby vegetation and herbaceous species (including grasses). Shrubby vegetation was mostly

composed with thorny species such as Prosopis chilensis, Acacia senegal, Acacia nilotica, Cassia

auriculata, Calotropis procera, Zizyphus nummularia, Salvadora persica and Capparis decidua.

This vegetation covered with climber species such as Asparagus racemosus, A. dumosus. The

Marine and Coastal Fauna of Gulf of Kachchh

4.1 BACKGROUND

Benchmark information of marine fauna of Gulf of Kachchh is one of the research activities under

the component B “Generating information about biophysical status of the intertidal areas and to

develop benchmark information about the floral and faunal diversity in the Gulf of Kachchh”. The

activity includes following objectives:

1) To prepare an inventory of faunal diversity of Gulf of Kachchh (of selected categories of

fauna).

2) To find out species abundance of major species (of selected categories of fauna).

3) To prepare a status report about the endemic, rare and endangered species.

Total seven categories of fauna have been selected for above mentioned objectives. Those

groups include Corals, Molluscs, Crustaceans, Pisces, Herpetofauna, Aves and Mammals.

4.2 GLIMPSE OF PROGRESS UP TO PREVIOUS REPORT

From the starting of the project total three interim reports have submitted so far viz. 1stinterim

from October to November 2011, 2ndinterim report from December 2011 to March 2012 and

3rdreport from July 2011 to November 2012. Those reports dealt with the progress made in

faunal field-studies till November 2012 in their respective durations.

With regards to the highlights of the previous reports, cumulative progress of 1st, 2nd and 3rd

interim reports are given below:

Inventory and species richness of selected groups: Corals 33 species, Molluscs 67 species,

Crustaceans 26 species, Fish37 species, birds 222 species and 21 species of terrestrial

mammals and 4 species of marine mammals. Of the reported species conservation status of

many of the species has been carried out.

Area covered under the observation and data collection:

Total three different types of study sites were decided due to variation of ecological niches of

animals and animal groups under the study. These types of sites are mainly coastal, marine

(also offshore), islands and reefs areas. The study of invertebrates is carried out mainly in

intertidal area of islands, reefs and coastal areas. Likewise, tetrapods (Herpetofauna,

Marine and Coastal Fauna of the Gulf of Kachchh

38

Avifauna and Mammalia) are studied at both coastal areas as well as marine area. Similarly,

to carry out the study on Pisces of the area, selected fish landing centers along the coastal

area are explored.

The group wise area that has been covered for data collection, up to submission of 3rd

interim, report is below:

Marine invertebrates: For the study of marine fauna i.e. Corals, Molluscs and Crustaceans

total 19 islands/reef/coastal areas have been visited so far.

Fish: Total 12 landing centers of three talukas viz., Kalyanpur, Okhamandal and Khambhaliya

were visited and data were collected.

Tetrapods: Tetrapods include Herpetofauna, Avifauna and Mammals. Almost entire area

under the sampling has been covered for the observations and data collection. All transects

have been walked for the observation. However, for the Herpetofauna still many transect are

need to walk for observation.

4.3 PRESENT INTERIM REPORT (4TH INTERIM REPORT)

The present interim report (i.e., 4thinterim report) covers the faunal work between December

2012 to mid-May 2013 and its outcomes in the form of results and discussion. Any repetition in

the form of study area and methodology adopted for the faunal study has been avoided.

4.4 PROGRESS MADE BETWEEN DECEMBER 2012AND MAY 2013

Group wise efforts and progress of the work between December 2013 and May 2013 is given

below:

4.4.1 Invertebrates

Up to 3rd interim report total 19 islands/reefs/coastal areas were covered for the study of marine

invertebrates. From December 2012 to mid-May 2013 two additional islands and reefs have been

covered with the same methodology adopted for previous observation.

Efforts made during this duration

Khimarakhat Island and Pashu reef were explored during this duration. Thus, cumulatively

total 37 transect have been laid in total 22 sites, which comprised of 12 Islands such as

Bhaidar, Chank, Noru, Khara-Meetha Chusana, GandiyaKado, Panero, Ajad, Dedeka-

Mundeka, Kalubhar, Bet Dwarka, Khimarakhat and Pirotan Islands, 6 reefs such as Boria,

Paga, Chandri, Vuda –Kuda, Pashu and Goose Reef and 3 Coastal areas such as Okha, Shan-ni-

ani and Narara.

Intertidal area of Shan-ni-ani reef was repeated for the observation.

Therefore, cumulative species of invertebrates in GoK is 126 species, of which 33 species of

corals, 26 species of crustaceans and 67 species of mollusc. Inventory of each group is given

in Annexure-4.1, Annexure-4.2 and Annexure-4.3.

Coral species such as Porites lutea, Porites compressa, Favia favus,Favia speciosa, Goniastrea

pectinata, Cyphastrea serailia, Acanthastrea hillae, Turbinaria peltata, Symphyllia sp.,

Goniopora sp. etc. were commonly recorded.

Crustaceans species such as Portunus pelagicus, Scylla serata, Charybdis sp., panuliris

polyphagus, Petrolisthes boscii, Oratosquilla sp. etc. were recorded commonly.

Molluscan species of class Gastropoda (53), Bivalve (11), Cephalopod (2) and Polyplacophora

(1) were recorded.

4.4.2 Avifauna

The Gulf of Kachchh is famous for marine biodiversity especially, corals and coral reefs,

mangroves and other invertebrate fauna. From view point of waterfowl and other avifauna, the

area is one of the considerable Protected Areas in the country. The area falls on the Indo-Asian

Flyway of bird migration. The migratory waterfowls come through Iran and Afghanistan to

Pakistan and then enter NW India; they reach and dwell at the Gulf. Some of them stay here for

the whole winter, whereas some others use it just as a refueling ground before migrating

southwards. The birds migrating southwards have to fly over the Gulf once again during return

migration. Therefore, the area of Gulf of Kachchh is considerably significant for avian diversity

also. Present study pertaining to avifauna is to prepare inventory of the species, abundance of

major species and status report of the endemic, rare and endangered species.

Methodology and study area

The area under the study is mainly coastal area of GoK as well island/reefsof marine area. To

achieve the objective, observations and data collection are carried out through opportunistic

observation, line transects and point count methods.Sampling strategy and methodology is given

in details in the previous interim reports.

41

Figure-4.3 Distribution of points for the observation of fauna of GoK through Point Count


Efforts were made to cover the westernmost part of the Northern GoK. Western part of

Mandvi Taluka and small area of Abdasa Taluka is the western most part of northern GoK.

Total three transects were walked for the observation and data collection. Apart from this

opportunistic observation was also carried out in the same area.

Findings

A total of 75 species have been recorded from the field visit made after third interim report.

Of total 75 species 40 species were predominantly terrestrial and 35 species were

predominantly aquatic.

Moreover, of the total species recorded, five species are Near Threatened as per IUCN 2011

such as Black-headed Ibis, Black-necked Stork, Eurasian Curlew, Lesser Flamingo andPainted

Stork, likewise one species is Vulnerable i.e. Dalmatian Pelican.

The species reported in the Abdasa Taluka has also been reported in the other part of Gok.

Therefore, cumulative species richness of Gulf of Kachchh is 222 species (Annexure-4.4).


42

Future Action Plan:

Almost entire area has been covered under the study. To get the seasonal data of avifauna,

second cycle of the transects will be repeated.

Focus would also be given for the status of major species in the study area.

4.4.3 Mammals

The study includes terrestrial mammals as well as marine mammals. Up to 500 meter towards

landside from the high tide line of GoK considered for the study of terrestrial mammals.

Considering the study area it is more kind of transitional zone between terrestrial habitat and

marine habitat. The mammalian fauna found in this area represent this transitional along the

Gulf of Kachchh.

Methodology and study area

As explained above two types of mammals are found in the Gulf of Kachchh viz., marine

mammals and terrestrial mammals. Terrestrial mammals are studied at the coastal area of the

Gok and sea mammals are studied mainly in offshore and marine area as well as in vicinity of

islands and reefs. To achieve the objective, observations and data collection are carrying out

through opportunistic observation, line transects and point count methods. Both direct and

indirect signs are taken in the consideration for the study of mammals. For the study of marine

mammals studied through boat surveys. In addition, any dead marine animal found at the coastal

area is also taken under consideration for the study.

a. Terrestrial mammals


Efforts were made to cover the western most part of the Northern GoK. Western part of

Mandvi Taluka and small area of Abdasa Taluka is the western most part of northern GoK.

Total three transects were walked for the observation and data collection. Apart from this

opportunistic observation was also carried out in the same area.


43

Figure-4.4 Distribution of transects for the study of mammalian fauna in coastal area of GoK

Findings

Total seven species have been reported during mentioned duration, of which six species

could be distinguished but one species could be identified up to species only. Those species

had been reported earlier in the GoK.

Therefore, the cumulative species richness of terrestrial mammals on coast of GoK is 21

species (Annexure-4.5).

Maximum occurring species on transects were mainly Blue bull which followed by Chinkara.

b. Marine mammals

Efforts made for the study

After the submission of 3rd interim report, efforts were made to cover offshore areas of

southern GoK.

A total of 33 field days spent for observation and data collectionin Gulf of Kachchh

To get the details of marine mammals following rout were surveyed through boat

o Poshitra → Paga → Boria

o Sikka → Kalubhar

o Sikka → Goose → Dedeka-mundeka → Pirotan


44

The above mentioned rout were surveyed every month between January 2013 to May 2013.

Another rout mentioned below was surveyed every month between March to May 2013.

Findings

In present study only Indo-Pacific Humpbacked Dolphin (Sousa chinensis) has been recorded

among dolphin spp.

Indo-pacific Humpbacked Dolphin was encountered maximum in Poshitra to Paga rout, which

followed by Sikka to Goose.

The presence of Humpbacked Whale (Megaptera novaengliae) could also be noted. The

animal stranded at the Bhachau coast of Kachchh District and it was reported by the Kachchh

Forest Department on 2nd January 2013. The animal was rescued and released back in to the

sea by the Forest Department staff.

Dead specimen of Dugong was observed at Mithapur village of Okha Taluka on 3rd January

2013.

Total four species of marine mammals were observed through direct and indirect evidence

Experimental Coral Transplantation of the selected coral species

(Porites and Favia Standard Model) in the Gulf of Kachchh

5.1 RATIONALE

Ecological restoration is the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been

degraded, damaged, or destroyed and transplantation is a technique used in ecological

restoration (Bruckner and Burrows 2005). Coral transplantation has the potential of rejuvenating

the reef with the help of either abundant or relatively fast growing species. Such species not only

help in establishing the newer colonies from the transplanted fragments but also help in the

sexual reproduction followed by the larval dispersal of the coral in the recipient site. Such effort

of coral transplantation not only improves the coral diversity but may also lead to new reef

formations in future.

The coral reefs of the GoK are one of the four major coral reefs of India (Pillai 2010). In the past

the reefs of the Gulf of Kachchh were exploited by the various anthropogenic pressures (Patel,

1985). As per the available secondary scientific reports, this reef system lies in an area which is

under speedy urbanization and industrialization (Desa et al. 2005). The coral reefs of the GoK

therefore, face a serious threat due to anthropogenic activities. Species such as Acropora humilis,

Acropora squarrosa and Acropora micropthalma which appeared to be abundant in the past have

become extremely rare, near to extinct at present (Satyanarayana and Ramakrishna 2009).

Further, the GoK is one of the richest fishing areas in the Gujarat state (Venkatraman et al. 2003)

having diverse fishes, prawns, shrimps, crabs and lobsters which are abundant in these reefs.

This richness is directly dependent on the coral reefs either for shelter or for the purpose of

breeding ground for these marine fisheries. Coral transplantation, therefore, will also have a

great socio economic and ecological significance for future. Besides, it will have a great research,

demonstration and academic value.

Under the ICZM project, GEER Foundation has been sanctioned to carry out experimental coral

transplantation of locally abundant species as well as locally extinct Acropora sp. in the Gulf of

Kachchh (GoK).

It is envisaged that during the project period total 200 m2 of coral reef will be transplanted by

experimenting various protocols at the rate of 50 m2 every year starting from the second year of

the five year project period.

Experimental Coral Transplantation of the Selected Coral Species


47

The following report consists of two major parts:

1. Progress report and

2. Protocol for the transplantation of local species (viz. Favia and Porites gens)

5.2 PROGRESS REPORT

In the year 2011-12 and 2012-13, two rounds of experimental transplantation of locally available

four species were carried out. The total 16.94 m2 area (i.e. 8.47 each year) was covered through

coral transplantation. Both the experiments are briefly described.

5.2.1 Experiment during 2011-12

1. Literature review: Standard literature on coral reef restoration was collected and studied for

the further development of various protocols for the transplantation.

2. Permission for transplantation: As all the hard coral species are under the WLPA 1972

declared as Schedule I, the permission procedure was carried out and the permission for the

transplanting locally available coral fragments was received from MoEF Govt. of India.

3. Feasibility study to identify donor and recipient sites: Total 9 coral reef sites were studied to

identify the donor and the recipient sites. 1 x 1 meter quadrats (Arthur 2000) were laid at

equidistance to identify the species richness and the live coral cover. The water quality was

also analysed as a part of the site selection. Total two donor sites were selected from the

feasibility study and one recipient site was selected.

4. Actual coral transplantation: During March 2012 actual transplantation was carried out as

per the Phase I protocol for local species. Total 250 fragments belonging to four species viz.

Favia speciosa, Favia favus, Porites lutea and Porites compressa were transplanted from the

donor sites i.e.Bhaidar and Poshitra to the recipient site Narara. Total seven frames covering

an area of 8.47 m2 were deployed at Narara. The fragments were tied.

5. Monitoring and Protection: Total 12 monitoring visits were carried out and the data was

collected of different aspects such as mortality, fragment loss, growth, bleaching etc. The

fragments and frames were re-tied and algal removal was performed as and when required.

At the completion of one year, the survival rate of transplanted corals was 68.09%.

6. Growth: The fragments have shown radial growth after the monsoon season, in the Porites

genus which was remarkably high compared to Favia genus. Fragments of the species Porites



48

lutea showed growth of >20mm on the provided substrate. Such growth is greater than the

natural i.e. 8 to 10 mm /yr (Done et al. 2010).

7. Documentation: Total 3 Interim reports have been submitted to the SPMU – Gujarat, of

which the first report included the feasibility study and the protocol for the local species. The

second report included the details on the Actual transplantation activity and the third report

included the Monitoring and Protection practice carried out post transplantation of 2012.

8. Capacity Building: Five researchers were trained for the Advanced Open Water SCUBA diving

certified by PADI at the SDMRI Tuticorin. The training was aimed to strengthen the future

research activities such as unexplored sub-tidal reefs of the GoK, under the ICZM project.

9. Current Status of the transplanted corals of the year 2012 is as follows:

5.2.2 Experiment during 2012-13

The same activity was carried out (i.e. Literature review, Feasibility study, Species selection,

Permission from MoEF etc.) under the coral transplantation component during the period of

2012 -13 with minor modifications as and when required, which are given below:

1. Feasibility study: Total 3 additional sites were studied to identify the additional donor sites,

of which Boria was selected as donor site.

2. Actual transplantation: During March 2013, actual transplantation was carried out for 125

fragments belonging to four species viz. Favia speciosa, Favia favus, Porites lutea and Porites

compressa were transplanted from the donor site Boria to the recipient site Narara on seven

frames, covering an area of 8.47 m2. The first monitoring was carried out in the month of

April 2013. The status of transplanted corals of March 2013 is as follows:

Bleaching was observed in both the species of Favia. Total 8 fragments of Favia were

completely bleached, whereas 25 were partially bleached.

In total 47 fragments are found to be suffering under the stress condition due to certain

unknown factors. These factors are required to be determined and the Foundation is working

in the direction. All these stressed fragments belong to Genera Favia only.

All the fragments of Genus Porites are found to be normal in condition.
