On a Burmese fishing raft drifted to Madras
The article describes about the Burmese fishing raft with fishermen drifted to Madras accidentaly during 1987. Similar incidents were also noticed during 1986 and 1988
Assessment of certain Anthropogenic Interventions and their Impacts along the Indian Coastline
Coastal anthropogenic activities such as sand
mining, disposal of untreated or partially treated
sewage and industrial effluents from selected
centres along Indian coastline and their possible
impacts impairing the coastal environment are
discussed with the data collected for two year
period from eight maritime states of India. Destruction
of macro benthos due to large scale sand mining
along the Malabar coast was estimated to show an
average of 2760 m-2 day-1 equivalent to 10.42 g m-2
day-1 (wet weight) registering maximum during the
post monsoon season. Non biodegradable objects
such as polythene carry bags, ropes and sachets
were recovered in considerable quantities from the
beaches (0.145-9.8 g m-2) as well as from the fishing
grounds (32-85 g haul-1). The domestic sewage
disposed to Visakhapatnam inshore area registered
appreciable density of toxic algal species such as
Gonyalux fragilis, Peridnium depressum and
Porocentrum gracile. Annual average of mercury in
soft tissues of crab Portunus sanguinolentus was
found in very high levels from Veraval (2.90 ppm)
followed by Tuticorin (2.39 ppm), Visakhapatnam
(1.83 ppm) and Cochin (1.77 ppm). However, arsenic
levels were very high in all the tissue samples
collected from Tuticorin, Mandapam, Chennai and
Visakhapatnam

Not AvailableTo assess the effects of shrimp farming on
the environment and on the coastal population,
a study was undertaken by a team of scientific
and technical staff of CMFRl in Nagapattinam
Quaid-e-Milleth district, Tamil Nadu in September,
1995. Several small and large farms and
corporate farms in nine coastal places, where a number of farms are located were
covered in the study. With the help of the mobile
laboratory of the CMFR Institute, the team
collected and aneilysed soil, water and plankton
samples in the inlet and outlet of the farm areas,
shrimp ponds and from the wells of the nearby
villages. Estimations on hydrological parameters,
nutrients and total and differential
counts of bacteria in the water and soil samples
were made following standard procedures.Not Availabl
Liberalization, Industrial Nationalism, and the Malaysian Automotive Industry
This paper examines the attempts by Malaysia to foster production by national automotive producers in a global industry dominated by a small number of major multinationals. Despite the use of a wide range of industrial policies, both standard import-substituting ones and more targeted policies, the main national producer, Proton, has been unable successfully to enter the automotive global value chain. We argue that Malaysia is probably faced with a choice of accepting foreign majority ownership, as with its second national producer, Perodua, or reconciling itself to Proton lagging in both technology and marketing
