Looking for marine scientific contacts all around India, especially people working in Coral and Mangrove Conservation? Who knows where institutes are located, where projects can be joined and supported ? Thank you very much for any help!
there are many government and NGOs that work on mangroves and corals in the Indian subcontinent.
our Institute National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM) under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change researches on both the ecosystems.
Besides there are institutions like ZSI, BSI, CMFRI, CIARI, MKU, State Universities in the Govt side and SDMRI, Dakshin, ANET, NCF, MFF etc in the NGO side.
As for a basic approach to networks and linkages with a country (on corals and reefs) you may start with universities, national research institutions and National Ministry for environment of natural resources.
