Conserve Mangroves

Cuddalore district coastal region is exposed to various natural forces including cyclones and tsunamis, which are constantly affecting the shorelines, beaches and headlands, causing storm surges, erosion/accretion, landslides, and coastal flooding. Magnitude and risk of disasters are directly proportional to the sensitivity and inversely proportional to degree of resilience of exposed community. To mitigate the ill effects of hazards, a thorough understanding of the vulnerability causing factors and coping capabilities is required for which vulnerability analysis is essential.

The entire coastal length 57.4 km most vulnerable in Cuddalore District of Tamil Nadu, Particularly this region Lot of coastal intervention industrial activities like cuddalore CUSECS pipe line at Rasapettai, port for chemplast company at chitrapettai and desalination plant intake pipeline outlet pipeline, NOCL company port at Periyakuppam, IL&FS power company port and desalination plant intake pipeline and outlet pipeline, power plant hot water outlet pipe line in pudukuppam. Rising sea levels and commercial shrimp farms, these factors have contributed greatly to the destruction of mangroves in the region.

 We, AALAMARAM Organisation was doing seedling, Planting, and regularly monitoring the planted saplings This mangrove forests vitally important to coral reef and commercial fisheries as well as Coastal protection. The dense root systems of mangrove forests trap sediments flowing down rivers and off the land. This helps stabilizes the coastline and prevents erosion from waves and storms.

 Mangroves protect shorelines from damaging storm and hurricane winds, waves, and floods. Mangroves also help prevent erosion by stabilizing sediments with their tangled root systems. They maintain water quality and clarity, filtering pollutants and trapping sediments originating from land.

Save mangroves and save the nature
