What are the geographical factors responsible for the growth of mangrove vegetation in India? Also highlight its role in coastal ecology.

Main Body

Mangroves are the coastal ecosystem, often growing on sea coast and having salt tolerance, worlds largest mangroves located in Sundarbans-Wertzgali. Geographical factors responsible for the growth of mangrove vegetation are as follows: (1) The salinity required for mangroves is available at sea coast of India specially west coast. (2) High humidity required temperature are suitable for mangroves. (3) Sediments brought by rivers creates base.

Suitable habitable area for mangroves to thrive, while providing essential Nutrients and nutrient AVH. (4) Low impact of tides is essential for growth of mangroves. Role of mangroves in coastal ecology is as follows: (1) Mangroves are rich in biodiversity providing habitat for wildlife. E.g: Salt water crocodile, bengal tigers etc. (2) They play significant role during disasters like flood OR tsunami, protecting its impact and acting as buffer. (3) Dense vegetation create carbon sequestration they contribute to ecology.

4Provide employment to coastal community, tourism potential, minor mangroves produce. (5) Lows the coastal ecology by its carbon sequestration are aids in standoff. Thus mangroves play significant role in coastal ecology, however their deforestation need to be checked, so that may contribute effectively, steps like MSDF program are steps with direction.

A private company is known for its efficiency, transparency and employee welfare. The company though owned by a private individual has a cooperative character where employees feel a sense of ownership. The company employs nearly 700 personnel and they have voluntarily decided not to form a union. One day suddenly in the morning, about 40 men belonging to a political party gate-crashed into the factory demanding jobs in the factory. They threatened the management and employees, and also used foul language. The employees feel demoralized. It was clear that those people who gate-crashed wanted to be on the payroll of the company as well as continue as the volunteers/members of the party. The company maintains high standards in integrity and does not extend favours to civil administration that also includes law enforcement agency. Such incidents occur in public sector also. (a) Assume you are the CEO of the company. What would you do to diffuse the volatile situation on the date of gate-crashing with the violent mob sitting inside the company premises? (b) What could be the long-term solution to the issue discussed in the case? (c) Every solution/action that you suggest will have a positive and a negative impact on you (as CEO), the employees and the performance of the employees. Analyze the consequences of each of your suggested actions.
