board's actual Circular)
Scientists of the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) have recently
discovered eight species of hard coral in Porbandar. This is perhaps the
first time that coral presence has been recorded along the coast in
Probandar district.
The recent discoveries have been hailed by the community of scientists
and marine researchers in the country. Some species are an indicator of
the good health of the marine ecology here and the sea slugs, for
instance, are a subject of great interest to biologists for their
bioactive compounds used in drug preparations.
As the state celebrates its 50th birthday, this seems to be nature's
gift to Gujarat. Scientists have recorded some thirteen new species of
corals and sea slugs on the coast of Gujarat with eight in
Porbandar.(dna)
