Abstract: With an installed wind capacity of about 10,500 MW, India is the world ' s fifth largest wind energy producer. But similar success in the country ' s solar energy sector is still far out of reach-a situation that the government is now ambitious to change with its "Solar Mission" that is already causing an atmosphere of departure.

Keywords: Ecosystem restoration
Abstract: Nearly 300 km stretch of coastal region in Karnataka is undergoing severe stress today. The increasing human population, the rapidly changing pattern of consumption of natural resources, unscientific landscape alteration and economic development policies of the state-are all contributng to this continuous and catastrophic degradatin of the coastal ecosystems This has been leading to irreversible damage to the stock of natural capital and sustainable flow of their services in coastal environment. More than two decades have passed by now since the governments recognized these trends. Several initiatives are also being made to arrest these situations by both Union & State governments over the years. However, a true participatory and scientific management regime based on ecosystem restoration principles has still been mirage owing to many social-economic and political reasons. This paper tries to briefly examine the different regulatory agencies and management practices in place now and tries to suggest a framework for synthesizing integrated governance mechanisms, which are people participatory, socially equitable, economically viable & ecologically sustainable.

Title: A field key for the identification of tree species in Dandeli Wild Life Sanctuary based on bark and leaf characters

Keywords: Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary, bark characters, leaf characters
Abstract: Forest species due to their enormous height, inconspicuous flowers and short and irregular pheonological cycles etc. make it difficult for field biologists in the collection and also for identification, using keys based on floral and fruit characters. Nevertheless, identification of trees in the field at sight is often necessary for many practical puposes. So, efforts have been made in the preparation of successful field keys based on field and vegetative characters in many countries. This is relatively eacy when the study is continued to small geographical areas - which can be further sub divided based on vegetatin types. Keeping this in view, a study was undertaken to prepare a database of tree species in the forests of Wildlife Sanctuary, Dandeli based on bark and leaf characters.

Keywords: Coastal fisheries
Abstract: Coastal fisheries induced by various localized processes plays a key role in the total fish production along the major fishing regions of the world. Although the fishery is comprised of pelagic as well as demersal fauna, the demersal diversity is known to be high. The species diversity of the region is largely influenced by the habitat coplexity, species composition and various local processes. On the other hand, most of the coastal environments, largely influenced by varying land use patterns, discharge variety of anthropogenic input and play a vital role in the biodiversity management and conservation practices. Further, tidal region also brings about significant changes and performs the role of dilution and nutrient replenishment in the localized ecosystem.
An assessment of the demersal diversity along the fishing grounds of Goa suggested that it supports rich faunal assemblages and comprised of 204 taxa (finfish, crustaceans, molluscs and other miscellaneous groups). Among these, a total of 52 species were found to be new reports to the study area. A noteworthy aspect was description of one species namely Charybdis goaensis new to science. This species was compared with its closely related 42 congeners adn was found to be different; hence a new species was described. A red belly yellow tail fusilier, Caesio cuning was reported for the first tiem outside its previously known geographical locale. A puffer fish (Tetraodon fluviatilis fluviatilis) and a mud crab (Scylla olivacea) were described for the first time from this study area. Further, few biological aspects of the sea snakes were investigated and are described here.
The fish catch trends along the coast of Goa indicated an increasing trend in the initial stages, whereas during the nineties they showed reverse trend with the effort. The nmackerel fishery showed an intermittent trend every five years since 1988, whereas the sardien catch was at a lower magnitude and increased significantly during 2002-2004. However, the data obtaiend during the persent study did not show any relationship between the yield and the effort.

Abstract: A study on avifuanal diversity was carried out in and around Kaiga region of Karnataka for a period of two years. Survey has been done in 35 sites within 15 km radius from Kaiga nuclear power station. A total of 214 species belonging to 51 families was recorded. Results of the present study revealed that Kaiga region is inhabited with variety of birds that includes some of the rare and migratory species Highest population of birds belonging to Muscicapidae family were recorded in the study area. The status of recorded birds wre classified according to IUCN red list.
