Abstract: | This environmental monitoring reviews the condition of the environment of Meedhupparu after
the implementation of the Coastal Works in year 2012. The natural environment is described,
assessed and compared to data from previous years.
The bathymetry of the west coast was analysed and comparison drawn between the baseline and
post work situation.
The data accumulated since 2012 on the substrates around Meedhupparu were gathered and
compared.
Among all the sites rock has always been the primary substrate, (from 66.40 to 77.20%) followed
by rubble (from 9.60 to 18.80%) and sand (from 1.20 to 11.60%). Coral was the fourth substrate
varying between 4 and 11.60%. The evolution of the coral cover during 2012 to 2014 was
assessed in selected zones. Since 2012, the general trend for sites on the west coast was of no
change showing almost the same averaged coral cover. |
