An adoption of process of growing mangroves like that of Kerala, Goa and Maharashtra, Karnataka
has witness a new flocks of tourist at its shores of beauty, growing a
mangroves at the site of coastal delta area have proved to be fertile
for the state.
Named as
mangrove tourist, they come in numbers to pay a visit to a most popular
spot of Karwar and ullal; they are seen enjoying a beauty and loves to
walk around at the site of mangrove plantation and even looks for a boat
ride to see a beauty of nautical and avian life.
Mangroves forest
near coastal area of Kanwar and ullal, have enhance after they went up
growing a mangrove under a project of green wall 2008. As per the report
from a department of forest there are more than 800 hectares of land
within estuarine has been covered by a lush of mangrove which in later
can be developed as eco tourist spot.
Dr
Keshavnath, who has carried delve into research in zooplankton and
phytoplankton, suggest planting of mangroves in more areas.
Hasiru kavacha or green armour has been developed as a mangrove plantation
area covering a zone of over 300 acres; local village committee had
taken an approach to develop the plantation of mangrove. After an
introduction of carbon storing we have enhance its plantation, said by
said Manjunath Shetty, assistant conservator of forests, Kundapur range.
“If we
were to dissolve the carbon contents in the air quickly, we need large
stretch of mangrove forests all along the coast. Fortunately, they grow
pretty fast,” said Jayakar Bhandary, a botanist who guides various green
groups in the coastal areas of Karnataka.
VN Nayak, director, Sub Regional Science Centre at Karwar and member of the Karnataka
state environmental report committee 2011, defines mangroves a ‘carbon
sink’. As they grow in saline water they shed leaves and recover it
quickly making it evergreen again and the leaf that falls on the ground
transformed itself into fertile manure the shedding process would happen
if the plant ingest carbon and throw out oxygen. And this procedure
earned them a name of carbon sink as mentioned by Nayak; he further said
a new center of mangrove would facilitate a research and studies
related with a fantastic species of plant.
Tourism
Although
a department of conservation are not in a favour to bring mangrove
under a section of tourism but they also could not deny a fact of
excluding it from a eco tourism is a crime, as people loves to circle
around the field of mangrove for outsider it has became a wonderful
attraction.
As said
by Shetty, we do not know what acquires them near the field of mangrove
as it call for a risk for a sensitive fish breeding process but their
anxiety and their response has given us a idea to develop a finest
mangrove eco tourism center.
Importance of mangroves
Fisheries:
Mangrove forests are home to a large variety of fish, crab, shrimp, and
mollusk species. These fisheries form a necessary spring of food for
thousands of coastal communities around the world.
as the wood is of prime importance as it resist an insects it is a backbone for many coastal and indigenous communities.
Coastal protection: as it helps to alleviate by trapping sediments as a result it averts erosion from waves and storms.
Tourism:
Given the variety of life live in mangrove systems, and their immediacy
in many cases to other tourist attractions such as coral reefs and
sandy beaches, it is conceivably astounding that only a few countries
have started to valve into the tourism latent of their mangrove forests.
What are mangroves?
Mangroves
are a compilation of salt forbearing evergreen trees that grow in humid
and sub-tropical coastal milieu and line just about 8% of the world’s
coastlines.
As they
grows both in land and water they are often termed as floating forest,
an amazing roots of mangrove allows it to grow and float as their roots
grows in fine muds.
They are
unique because they occupy both land and water and are sometimes
referred to as ‘floating forests’. This unique aspect of mangroves that
enable them to ‘float’ is due to their aerial roots that develop in fine
muds or sandy sediments.
