The parameters evaluated include geomorphology, soil, mineral resources, nutrient cycling, water quality, terrestrial and marine flora and fauna, microclimate, demography, health and sanitation, land use patterns, income, and cultural minorities. Mitigative and ameliorating measures were likewise identified. Coordinating requirements and action programs geared towards the sustainability of resources and the enhancement of the environment were recommended. Major results Descriptions of the landscape as well as climatic situation of the reserve are presented. Mangrove forest occupy 123 ha with a rich associated marine and estuarine flora and fauna.
Coastal biodiversity is considered high but surely under-estimated.
The reported macrofauna and macroflora include more than 350 species. The cultivated areas are rainfed. No fertilizers are being applied to the cultivated fields. All the resource-use strategies pose environmental impacts in the Reserve that degrade the quality of the environment and affect the productive capacities of other resources. Pollution, destruction of corals, erosion and sedimentation, and a host of social problems are outcomes of the increasing human activities.
