Mutation Variation of organisms occurs from linkages and crossing over. The Independent Assortment of Random Fusion of gametes also creates variation. Mutation will occur and new gametes or alter existing ones. What is mutation? Mutation is a permanent alteration of a genomic sequence. It may be divided into two categories: 1) Point/ Gene Mutation 2) Chromosomal Mutation Mutations may either be advantageous or disadvantageous and are not all inherently negative Point/ Gene Mutation

Sundarbans National Park India Sundarbans National Park in India is one of the world’s largest deltas and the mangrove forest formed by the confluence of three rivers- the Ganga‚ the Brahmaputra and the Meghna- covering an area of 2‚585 sq km wildlife sanctuary‚ which extends into Bangladesh too. The Sundarbans Wildlife Sanctuary‚ the world’s largest estuarine sanctuary is really worth a visit. With a series of densely forested islands and saline water channels‚ Sundarbans is home to 270 Royal Bengal

Mainly between latitudes 25°N and 25°S Mangroves include approximately 16 families and 40 to 50 species. Mangrove ecosystems are diverse habitat with remarkable variety of flora

SAVE THE MANGROVES! With the monsoons around the corner‚ it is a matter of concern to save the mangroves in Kandivali Mangroves are buffers between the land and the sea. Coastlines throughout the world are facing serious problems of coastal erosion and threat of rising sea levels due to global warming. To control such assault of the sea on land‚ nature has provided mangroves‚ a tropical ecosystem which is more dynamic than the sea itself. Kandivali is one among many other such areas in Mumbai

recognized 110 species which live in mangroves‚ only about 54 species (in 20 genera from 16 families) make up the group of species that occur almost exclusively in mangrove habitats. Many of these species are found in the similar conditions to the tropical conditions of a wide range of salinity‚ tidal range‚ anaerobic soils and high light intensity. Plant biodiversity is relatively low in mangrove ecosystems‚ especia lly in higher altitudes and the Americas. The mangroves with the highest biodiversity

Mangrove Forest in India Mangrove forests are one of the most productive and bio diverse wetlands on earth. Yet‚ these unique coastal tropical forests are among the most threatened habitats in the world. They may be disappearing more quickly than inland tropical reinforests‚ and so far‚ with little public notice. Growing in the inter-tidal areas and estuary mouths between land and sea‚ mangroves provide critical habitat for a diverse marine and terrestrial flora and fauna. Healthy mangrove forests

Mangroves are highly specialized ecosystem‚ which are characterized by salt resistant plants growing in the inter tidal areas along sheltered seacoasts and estuaries in the tropical and subtropical regions. India has approximately 31‚5000 ha of mangrove out of which about 65000 ha are along the west coast. Gujarat and Kerala coasts have the most degraded mangroves‚ while Maharashtra‚ Goa and Karnataka have occasional luxuriant pockets. They form extensive and highly productive forests characterized

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION “Mangroves live life on the edge” (Warne‚ 2007). Some parts of the mangrove roots are submerged on the water and the other parts are on the land. The mangroves serve as a support system to biodiversity. However‚ according to World Wild Fund or WWF (n.d.)‚ the world already lost more than 35% of its mangrove forest. Mangroves are also responsible for carbon sequestration. According to United States Environment and Protection Agency (n.d.)‚ carbon sequestration is capturing
