Shrimp Seed Collection in Indian Sundarban Estuaries: A Threat to Overall Estuarine Ecosystem Services
Journal Title: Journal of Environmental and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
We conducted a thorough and in-depth study during 2016 on the impact of tiger prawn seed collection on socio-economic and biodiversity profiles of Indian Sundarbans considering Patharpratima as a model site. Our first order analysis reflects an adverse impact of this profession on both these sectors and calls urgently for developing few alternative livelihood programmes for the tiger prawn seed collectors of Indian Sundarbans. A separate section of Indian Sundarbans needs to be considered while formulating the ICZM (Integrated Coastal Zone Management) programme for the maritime state of West Bengal (India).
