Ecologically Sensitive Areas and Coastal Geomorphological Features of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Journal Title: Modern Approaches in Oceanography and Petrochemical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI) are a group of remote, isolated island archipelago and external territory of India at the juncture of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea extending between 92° to 94° East and 6° to 14° North latitude. This article summarise various ecologically sensitive areas of ANI for the purpose of conservation through the applicable regulatory mechanisms. This will help the Andaman Administration in implementation of the Island Protection Zone (IPZ) Notification, 2011 issued under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The coastal and marine environments of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI) cover coral reefs, sea grass beds which support dugong, an extensive network of mangrove creeks inhabited by crocodiles, a variety of other reptiles, fish, birds and invertebrates and essential turtle nesting beaches.
