Need for a Trans-boundary Blue-Green Biosphere Reserve in the Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay

Blue-green land and waterscapes act as ecological corridors across land and water in creating an ecological continuity in order to protect and restore the habitats of native and naturalized species. In addition, these ecological corridors also help to conserve and improve the habitats of migratory species as well. One of the main objectives of establishing blue-green land-waterscapes is to reconcile increasing local/regional development and human livelihood challenges in a sustainable manner while at the same time safeguarding biodiversity and their habitats/ecosystems as far as possible.
