II. Department of Marine and Coastal
Studies
A Centre for Marine and Coastal
Studies (CMCS) was instituted in 1998 for the establishment of a Marine Field
Research facility at Pudhumadam, a coastal village in Ramnad District. The Centre was upgraded to the Department of
Marine and Coastal Studies from October 2009. The Department has been recognized
by its work and has been supported by international organizations such as
IOC/UNESCO, UNDP, WHO, IFS, GCRMN and by national organizations such as the
MoES (DOD), MoEF, ISRO, ICMR, CSIR, Planning Commission and the UGC. The
GEF/UNDP has also identified and included this Department as a member
institution to carry out research activities in the Gulf of Mannar Marine
Biosphere Reserve to protect and conserve the coral reefs.
III.
Research programmes
The department has
been monitoring, on continuous basis, the status of coral reefs and ornamental
as well as food fishes around the 21 islands in the Gulf of Mannar coast and
reef areas of Palk
Bay regions. This
includes the status of corals, coral bleaching, coral diseases, algal growth,
quantity of ornamental fishes etc. SCUBA diving, snorkeling and skin diving
techniques are used for underwater reef ecology studies. The information
gathered will help in the conservation and management of coral reef ecosystem
in the Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere Reserve . In addition
to the ecological research, the department has been undertaking research in the
areas of coastal marine pollution monitoring and marine toxicological research.
These studies will assess the status of coastal marine pollution along the Gulf
of Mannar and Palk
Bay coasts. The oceans
provide new opportunities for the discovery of marine-based medicines/drugs.
Marine organisms may play an increasingly important role in biotechnology and
medicine as a result of their biochemical components. Isolation and
identification of natural biological compounds such as repellents, toxins,
antifoulants and antibiotics from marine organisms are also being carried out
in this department.
