Mangrove biodiversity in aceh
Mangrove forests in Aceh, Indonesia cover around 50,000 hectares and provide important habitat. They contain a diverse array of biotic components including trees, crabs, birds, and algae. Mangroves also interact with abiotic factors like salinity and oxygen in the water. Local communities depend on mangroves for protection from floods and for building materials. Within the ecosystem, algae serve as an important food source. The 2004 tsunami destroyed many mangroves. Overharvesting for charcoal and timber also threatens mangrove areas. Conservation efforts should promote alternative energy sources to reduce dependency on mangrove wood.

Mangroves introduction
Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees and shrubs that grow in tropical and subtropical coastal intertidal regions where freshwater mixes with seawater. They provide natural capital and ecosystem services such as protecting coastlines from floods and storms. While clearing mangroves for wood or shrimp farming can generate under $10,000 per hectare, retaining mangroves and accounting for their flood protection services can value them at over $16,000 per hectare, demonstrating the economic importance of valuing natural capital. Mangroves play a key role in coastal ecosystems and economies.

Wetlands of bangladesh
This document outlines the objectives, key findings, and recommendations of a study on wetlands in Bangladesh. The study aimed to understand the biophysical characteristics and importance of wetlands, examine management practices and issues, and recommend solutions. It found that wetlands cover about 11% of Bangladesh and provide important ecosystem services like water purification and fisheries. However, they face threats from overexploitation, pollution, and development. The document recommends preserving wetlands, restoring degraded areas, bringing all under sustainable management, and limiting resource use to protect breeding wildlife.
Depletion of mangroves in sindh presentation
The document discusses mangrove forests in Pakistan. It notes that mangroves exist in difficult conditions along coastlines and provide important ecosystem services. However, Pakistan's mangrove forests have declined significantly due to factors like dams on the Indus River reducing freshwater flow, pollution, land grabbing, and cutting for firewood. Several organizations are working to conserve the remaining mangroves through activities like planting drives, community engagement, and managing coastal development.
Seagrasses of Red Sea
The document summarizes an environmental study on the fauna associated with seagrass beds in Hurghada, Red Sea, Egypt. The study aimed to survey seagrass distribution, determine seasonal variation in associated fauna, and examine faunal movement within seagrass microhabitats. Key findings include identification of 7 seagrass species at the study sites, highest faunal densities at certain locations, over 100 faunal species observed with different seasonal abundances, and some species present across multiple microhabitats within the seagrass beds. Statistical analysis revealed differences in faunal numbers and diversity among habitats and seasons.
Mangrove ecosystems
Mangroves provide important ecological functions as transitional zones, nurseries, and carbon sinks. However, they face threats from human activities like deforestation, development, and climate change impacts such as rising sea levels and temperatures. Mangroves help protect coastlines and support fisheries but over 20% have been lost in recent decades. While rising CO2 and temperatures may enhance mangrove growth, the current rapid rate of change leaves less time for adaptation and migration with the loss of coastal areas to development. Management is needed to balance human uses of mangroves with conservation to maintain their critical ecosystem services.

Mangroves are trees or shrubs that grow in coastal saline or brackish water. They play an important role in protecting coastlines from erosion and storms and provide habitat for many species. However, mangroves are declining worldwide due to threats like aquaculture, urbanization, and pollution. Several government and non-government organizations have undertaken conservation efforts like reforestation and raising awareness of the importance of mangroves. Further legal protection and community involvement are needed to help preserve these vital coastal ecosystems.
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.
Coral Reefs: Biodiversity and Beauty at Risk
Coral reefs are the largest structures built by living organisms and are home to 25% of ocean species, yet they are at severe risk. Coral reefs provide many benefits like fisheries, shoreline protection, tourism, and medicines, valued at $233 billion to $1.3 trillion annually. However, threats from overfishing, pollution, disease, bleaching due to warming oceans, and ocean acidification have already damaged many reefs and are projected to severely damage most reefs by 2050 if issues are not addressed.
Threats To Mangroves
Over 50% of the world's original mangroves have been lost, mainly due to aquaculture, agriculture, and deforestation. Shrimp farming in particular has led to significant mangrove loss in Asia and Latin America. In Thailand, shrimp farming expanded rapidly from 1970-1990 and resulted in the loss of over half of the country's mangroves. The expansion was driven by increasing global demand for shrimp and government support. While shrimp farming provided economic benefits, it also caused environmental problems like soil salinization, biodiversity loss, and pollution from farm effluent. Climate change further threatens mangroves by increasing risks of sea level rise, storms, and carbon release from destroyed mangrove forests. S
Mangroves
This document discusses mangroves and their ecological importance. It notes that mangroves are unique coastal plants that provide shore protection, act as breeding grounds for fishery resources, and have nutritional and local uses. Mangroves have global distribution and complex root systems. They fringe coastal rivers and estuaries, which are highly productive ecosystems that support shellfish, fish, birds, and other wildlife. However, mangroves face threats from deforestation, mining, aquaculture, and other human activities. The document calls for protecting mangroves to maintain coastal security.

brackish water and mangrove environment in Bangladesh
Brackish water or briny water is water that has more salinity than fresh water, but not as much as seawater. It may result from mixing of seawater with fresh water, as in estuaries, or it may occur in brackish fossil aquifers. The word comes from the Middle Dutch root "brak". Certain human activities can produce brackish water, in particular civil engineering projects such as dikes and the flooding of coastal marshland to produce brackish water pools for freshwater prawn farming. Brackish water is also the primary waste product of the salinity gradient power process. Because brackish water is hostile to the growth of most terrestrial plant species, without appropriate management it is damaging to the environment.

1) Coral reefs contain a diverse array of plant and animal life, providing habitat for over 4,000 species of fish and 800 species of hard coral.
2) Major groups that inhabit coral reefs include vertebrates like fish, sea turtles, and sea snakes as well as invertebrates like sponges, echinoderms, mollusks, crustaceans, and worms.
3) Coral reef plants and algae play an important ecological role through primary production and providing food and habitat for other organisms, and include seagrasses, mangroves, and various macroscopic seaweeds.Marine conservation
This document provides an overview of various financing mechanisms that can be used to fund marine conservation efforts. It begins with an introduction describing the need to protect marine resources and finance marine conservation. It then presents over 30 specific financing mechanisms categorized by their source of revenue. These include mechanisms that generate revenue from governments, grants/donations, tourism, natural resource use, real estate/development, and for-profit investments. For each, the document provides a brief description and examples of how it has been applied to marine conservation. It emphasizes that mechanisms should be evaluated as part of a business plan that identifies costs and potential revenue sources to develop a sustainable financing strategy for protecting marine and coastal areas.
Climate Change Effects on Mangroves - Indian context
Climate change is having impacts on mangroves in India through sea level rise, changes in salinity and precipitation, and increased cyclone activity. Mangroves are being permanently inundated by sea level rise of approximately 3 mm per year currently. Changes in salinity and precipitation patterns are affecting mangrove species distributions and health. Major cyclones have caused widespread mangrove damage, such as the 1999 super cyclone in Odisha. While mangroves are resilient to some climate impacts, additional pressures from human activities are exacerbating the effects of climate change on these important coastal ecosystems.

Freshwater Wetlands
Freshwater wetlands are areas filled with surface or ground water such as ponds, swamps, bogs, and marshes. They are characterized by precipitation, temperatures, and a variety of biotic factors including bacteria, fungi, protists, plants, and animals. Abiotic factors like elevation, topography, wind speed, and soil composition also influence freshwater wetlands. Food webs in freshwater wetlands are driven by symbiotic relationships between organisms as they cycle carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water. Drought can stress freshwater wetland ecosystems and cause harm to plants and animals with a loss of water.

World Wetlands Day Presentation 02-05-2013
World Wetlands Day is celebrated on February 2nd to raise awareness of wetlands and the Ramsar Convention. Wetlands are broadly defined and provide numerous benefits, including biodiversity, economic benefits, and ecological functions. However, wetlands face threats such as development, pollution, invasive species, and climate change. Two important Ramsar sites in Uzbekistan are described - the Aydar-Arnasay Lakes System, an important stopover for migratory birds, and Lake Dengizkul in Bukhara, also important for migratory birds in an arid region.
Mangroves and Climate Change
Mangrove forests provide important ecological services such as trapping sediment, acting as land-sea buffers, and serving as breeding and nursery areas for fish, shellfish, and birds. They also store carbon and help mitigate climate change. However, mangroves are threatened by loss of land from clearing for agriculture, aquaculture, and development as well as rising sea levels from climate change. While mangroves have adapted to tolerate a wide range of salt concentrations, their ability to adapt depends on sediment availability and lack of human barriers; restoration efforts aim to enhance their resilience.

Benefits Of Wildlife
There are four main benefits that wildlife provides to humans: economic, medical/scientific, aesthetic/recreational, and ecological. Economically, wildlife benefits humans through industries like hunting, fishing, and wildlife watching, which together amount to over $18 billion annually in the US. Medicinally, plants have provided medicine for 80% of the world's population and make up about 40% of all medicines. Aesthetically, wildlife viewing motivates recreational activities and ecotourism. Ecologically, all living things interact within ecosystems, so impacts to one species can affect many others.
Importance of wild life santuaries by gopal krishna biswas
An animal sanctuary is a facility that protects and cares for animals until their natural death. Unlike shelters, sanctuaries do not seek to place animals in homes but rather maintain each animal at the sanctuary. The mission is to provide a safe haven where animals receive the best care and are not used for commercial purposes. A sanctuary prioritizes the well-being of its residents and ensures all actions are in the animals' interests rather than for human benefit.
The importance of animals in human lives
Animals play an important role in human lives in several ways. They provide companionship as pets by greeting us happily and curling up with us, which can improve our mood. Pet animals are also used in rehabilitation settings by bringing joy and social interaction to nursing home residents. Having a pet also teaches children skills like caretaking, responsibility, and compassion. Throughout history, animals have assisted humans by working on farms and providing transportation. Today, some animals are still used for their livelihood, as a food source, or for sport and leisure activities. Overall, animals enhance human well-being in many aspects of our daily lives.

Chapter 11 presen part 1
Major threats to aquatic biodiversity include habitat loss, invasive species, pollution, climate change, and overexploitation, which are exacerbated by human population growth. The greatest marine biodiversity is found at coral reefs, estuaries, and on the deep ocean floor. While protections for whales have led to recovery of some populations, others are still threatened by illegal hunting. Invasive species like the Asian swamp eel and lionfish degrade ecosystems, while activities such as agriculture, development, and waste dumping pollute waterways and oceans. Climate change poses a growing threat through sea level rise, warming, and acidification. Overfishing has driven many fish species toward extinction.

Presentation power point
Overfishing in the Gulf of California has led to the depletion of many fish populations and disruption of the marine ecosystem. The gulf supports over 700 species of fish and is an important food and economic source for nearly 6 million people. However, unsustainable fishing practices like catching too many adult fish and excessive bycatch have reduced fish populations by 52-90% in many areas of the gulf. This overfishing threatens the livelihoods of coastal communities and the health of the ecosystem. Stronger enforcement of fishing regulations and monitoring is needed to promote sustainable fishing and protect the Gulf of California.

Protein structure & function
Proteins make up about 15% of cells and have many important functions like enzymes, structure, transport, motors, storage, signaling, and gene regulation. A protein's shape and function are determined by its amino acid sequence. The peptide backbone forms secondary structures like alpha helices and beta sheets held together by hydrogen bonds and other weak interactions. Chaperone proteins help guide proper protein folding. Proteins fold into complex 3D structures and can have multiple subunits that interact.
Nut chapter 6_lecture

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

People, Parks & Wildlife: Towards Coexistence – By Vasant Saberwal • People, Parks & Wildlife provides an accessible account of the conflicts surrounding protected areas even as it makes a compelling case for changing current management practices to incorporate the livelihood needs of the local population. • The strategy of forming a network of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, a system of enclaves where human activities are prohibited, has succeeded in preserving some threatened ecosystems and increasing the populations of endangered species such as the tiger and the elephant, this success has come at great cost. • The burden of conservation has been disproportionately borne by those living in and around the protected areas. Often they are already poor and marginalised groups, whose customary rights to use the forest have been curtailed. Source: www.hinduonnet.com
