Marine turtles become accessible to humans for brief episodes in their life history, when they leave the open oceans and lumber onshore to nest. These giant air-breathing turtles belong to the most ancient line of living reptiles; however, poaching and egg depredation, development along ocean and coastal zones, and the rapid expansion and mechanisation of the fishing sector in the last few decades have severely endangered these tenacious survivors. Five of the world's seven species of marine turtles occur on the Indian subcontinent. Many of these form part of regionally or globally important populations. Unfortunately, information for most sites and populations is unavailable or outdated, deriving from the initial path-finding surveys that were conducted between the early '70s and '90s. A GOI-UNDP-sponsored project was carried out between 2000-02 to update information on the status of India's marine turtles and to provide an impetus to participatory conservation. This book documents the results of surveys carried out under that Sea Turtle Project. Special Features ° Status surveys conducted under the GOI-UNDP-sponsored project, along the east and west coasts of the Indian mainland, the Lakshadweep archipelago and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands ° Status of marine turtles in Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh ° Review of fishery-related issues, including causes and effects of incidental mortality, and potential solutions like turtle excluder devices ° Review of conservation efforts ° Legislation and international instruments pertaining to marine turtles ° Research on the biology of marine turtles and efforts to conserve their habitats This is the first book on marine turtles in India and the subcontinent, with contributions from leading experts in studying the ecology and conservation of marine turtles, from India and abroad: contributors include Bivash Pandav, Biswajit Mohanty, Jack Frazier, Belinda Wright, Rom Whitaker, among others.

1. Auflage Hitlers Wehrmacht - Uniform-Fibel für die Marine. "Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg und der Selbstversenkung der deutschen Flotte in Scapa Flow war die restlich verbliebene Flotte des Deutschen Reiches faktisch handlungsunfähig. Gemäß Versailler Vertrag durfte Deutschland nur noch eine begrenzte Anzahl Schiffe besitzen. Doch schon bald nach der Machtübernahme Hitlers sollte sich dieser Zustand ändern. Ein Abkommen mit England erlaubte ihm, nun auch wieder größere Schiffe zu bauen. Damit sollte die Marine, nun Kriegsmarine genannt, zu altem Glanz und alter Stärke zurückkehren. Die Uniform-Fiebel für die Marine zeigt alles Wissenswerte über die Marine in Hitlers Wehrmacht auf. Laufbahn und Dienstgradabzeichen, Abzeichen für Sonderausbildungen, Mützen, Jacken, Röcke sowie alle anderen Uniformstücke der Marine werden hier beschrieben und dargestellt." Hardcovereinband mit 134 Seiten und zahlreichen (teils farbigen) Abbildungen im Standardbuchformat. Zustand: wie neu, ungelesen

The invertebrate and marine fauna of New Zealand (monograph series): 19 volumes. (NIWA).
