Mangrove ecosystems thrive in hot, muddy, salty conditions and provide important habitat and nursery areas for many species. Mangroves come in three main species - red mangroves which are the most dominant, black mangroves which grow at higher elevations with more oxygen, and white mangroves which also grow higher but lack aerial roots. Mangrove ecosystems shelter invertebrates and juvenile fish and crustaceans in their intricate root systems and provide protection from storms. India and Kerala have a number of mangrove species with the most found in Kollam district and the least in Thiruvananthapuram district, while the Sunderbans mangroves in the Ganges delta were designated a

Mangrove report
Mangroves are woody plants found in intertidal coastal regions in the tropics and subtropics. They have developed morphological and physiological adaptations that allow them to survive in the saline, hypoxic conditions of the intertidal zone. Mangroves play an important ecological role by stabilizing coastlines, filtering pollutants from water, and providing habitat for many species. However, mangrove forests are declining worldwide due to conversion for aquaculture and agriculture as well as other human impacts. Proper management is needed to protect these valuable coastal ecosystems.
Ashok mangroves
This document discusses mangrove ecosystems, including their distribution, habitat characteristics, and importance. Mangroves are found between 32°N and 38°S, with the largest areas in Indonesia, Nigeria, Australia and Mexico. They are adapted to survive in saline, muddy soils and anoxic conditions. Mangroves protect coastlines, serve as nurseries for fisheries, and support diverse marine and terrestrial wildlife. Common mangrove plants belong to the Rhizophora and Avicennia genera. Mangrove forests are ecologically important and provide resources to coastal communities.
Protection of habitat of corals,mangrooves,seaweeds,sea grass beds
Corals are marine invertebrates that secrete calcium carbonate skeletons. They live in colonies and build coral reefs, which are diverse underwater ecosystems. Coral reefs can be found in shallow, tropical waters between depths of 21-29°C. India has four major coral reefs located in the Gulf of Mannar, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep Islands, and Gulf of Kutch. These reefs support a high diversity of corals, but are threatened by natural stresses like storms as well as human activities such as pollution, destructive fishing, and climate change. Conservation efforts aim to protect coral reefs through increased monitoring and enforcement of regulations.
Mangroves & Seagrasses PR10_v0310
Mangroves and seagrasses are important coastal ecosystems. Mangroves are woody plants adapted to saline environments that provide coastal protection by reducing erosion and wave action. They serve as nurseries for many marine species. Seagrasses form underwater meadows in tropical and temperate waters through specialized adaptations like root systems. They trap sediments, improve water quality, and serve as an important habitat and food source for wildlife. Both ecosystems are threatened by human activities and have lost significant coverage over the past century.

Mangrove
Mangroves are unique coastal trees and shrubs found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. They have specialized adaptations that allow them to survive in saline environments between land and sea. Mangroves play an important ecological role by protecting coastlines from erosion, providing habitat for marine life, and improving water quality. However, mangrove forests are disappearing rapidly due to human activities like coastal development. Conservation efforts are needed to protect these vital ecosystems.
Marine and coastal ecosystems
Marine and coastal ecosystems are diverse and complex systems. The marine ecosystem is the largest ecosystem on Earth, covering over 70% of the planet's surface. It contains a variety of habitat types, from coral reefs and kelp forests to deep sea and open ocean environments. Coastal ecosystems like mangroves, sandy shores, and estuaries exist at the interface between land and sea. These ecosystems support a high level of biodiversity but are threatened by rising sea levels and ocean acidification due to climate change. Careful management is needed to protect these important ecosystems.
5 23 crabs’ niches in crab cove
The document summarizes a study of two crab species that inhabit Crab Cove in Alameda, CA: the Bay Shore Crab and the Lined Shore Crab. The researcher hypothesized that since there are two crab species, they must occupy different niches. Through transect surveys in muddy and rocky areas, the researcher found that Bay Shore Crabs exclusively inhabited muddy areas under rocks, while Lined Shore Crabs exclusively inhabited rocky areas under rocks and in crevices. This suggests the two species partition resources by inhabiting different habitats to avoid competition. Both crab species feed on algae and diatoms but their niches differ due to habitat specialization in muddy versus rocky environments.

Mangroves are small trees and shrubs that grow in coastal saltwater zones in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. They are unique in their ability to tolerate saline water. Mangrove forests provide shelter and habitat for a range of wildlife like birds, tigers, and monkeys. Over 100 million people live near and benefit from mangrove forests through activities like fishing, honey collection, and wood collection. However, these jobs can also be dangerous as they expose workers to attacks by predators. Mangroves should be conserved because they act as natural coastal barriers, store carbon, support livelihoods, encourage ecotourism, and are biodiversity rich habitats.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
