Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Kolavipaalam, Kerala has come to prominence due to the protection of an olive ridley nesting site by a local fishing community (Kutty, 2001). Unfortunately, this wonderful initiative and the nesting ground is under serious threat of disappearing due to illegal sand mining activity in Kottapuzha estuary, drained by the Kottapuzha River, north of Kolavipaalam. Part of Kolavipaalam beach is backed by this estuary, away from community dwellings of the area. This sandy beach spreads over an area of 50 acres stretching from the estuary mouth towards Kolavipaalam, and is an ideal turtle nesting site.
