Vembanad Lake The Vembanad Lake is unique in many ways in that it serves as a waterway connecting many of the islands and is also an important place of tourist interest. Recently it has been declared as a Ramsar Site. Development of agriculture in the Kuttanad - the southern part of Vembanad Lake and adjoining raised lands has been one of the important land development schemes undertaken by the erstwhile government of Travancore. Uniform supply of freshwater is required for paddy culture. In this place, some of the areas are rainfed and some are irrigated. After acquiring large tracts of these fields many of the enterprising 9'40' 9'30' - o water -L... Rivers ---- Kultlllad boundary • • •••• Boundaries of agronomk zones '0 \. tN C 5 10 151
has mainly sandy soil. As the part of tropical rain forest, this area has luxuriant growth of terrestrial herbs, shrubs and trees. Thongh lot of damages have been done to the ecosystem, some mangrove vegetation still remains. iv. Short summary of vegetation and animal life a. Vegetation: Coffee, Indian rubber plant, black pepper, and tea plantations are specialities of this area. Most of the terrestrial plants are represented here. Part of Vembanad Lake has rich representatives of many species of mangroves. b. Animal life: Vembanad Lake, with an estuarine environment, has rich representation of fish and other aquatic life. The most important being the penaeid prawns and giant freshwater prawn. The mangrove vegetation supports a wide variety of birds and mammals. III. Population Profile There were 1,38,691 houses, contributing a population of 7,52,866 around the lake. Among these houses 17,369 belonged to fishermen, with a population of 95,182. The members in the fishermen and non-fishermen households' number was 5.48 and 5.42 respectively (Kurup et al., 1989). However, in a census done on fisher folk by the Directorate of fishery in 1982, the average number of members in fishermen households was found to be 6.56. 1. Occupational status A total of 23,992 fishermen are actively engaged in fishing; 7,650 fishermen are engaged in related activities like middlemen and vendors of fresh fish. Among the fisherfolk 5.54% are engaged in fishery allied occupations whereas 6.91% work in other fields not connected with fishery. Even among the non-fishermen category a few get their earnings from fishery related occupations, though the percentage is very small (0.37%). Further, 24.76% of the non-fishermen category finds their livelihood from other fields of activities. On the whole only 3.19% of the total population in the area covered are active fishermen. 85 Vembanad Lake IV. Biodiversity And Conservation Values 1. Flora Typical tropical rain forest is visible in most of the parts of Kerala. Luxuriant forest vegetation is noticed and the families Rubiaceae, Sterculearaceae, Verbenaceae, Compositae, Euphorbiaceae, Apocynaceae, Leguminoceae, Asclipidiacea, etc., coffee, Indian rubber, black pepper and tea plantations are some of the specialty of this area. a. Mangrove vegetation of Vembanad Lake : The numerous rivers flowing towards the Arabian sea, with their large load of sediments created various pits and offshore bars in the near shore regions and the body of water behind these formed the nuclei of the present day lagoons and estuaries. In general, the mangroves are confined to very small pockets by the bank of these estuaries and adjacent river system. A number of mangrove vegetations worth preservation and conservation are located. Out of them Kumarakomn, which is located on the side of Vembanad lake is the largest. ••••• F7p£e : 1!. 10' )c( ,.•.
