Aquaresources include water, salt, minerals and aquatic

bioresources, those occur in nature as freshwater, brackish water

and saltwater ecosystems on earth in ponds, lakes, hot springs, hill

streams, rivers, wetlands, backwaters, salt pans, salt marsh, oceans,

etc. These resources are mostly open access and precious gift of

nature. These are indispensible to the mankind but often abused and

exploited indiscriminately for short term economic gain. Mention

is made that the aquaresources like surface water, in springs, saline

lakes, rivers and oceans and underground water in aquifers in

addition to aquatic and semi-aquatic, microscopic and

macroscopic, edible and commercially important microbes, plants,

animals, etc., are valuable and essential for our survival. But the

vast majority of such aquaresource systems suffer from

degradation, destruction, encroachment and pollution, and can be

increasingly depleted, if not properly managed. As such, these

aquaresources need to be utilized, mined or harvested sustainably

for the benefit of the present as well as future generation.

A large number of people throughout the globe as well as in India

sustain their life and livelihood depending on aquaresources

including mineral resources, fodder, food and fishery resources. It

is, therefore, felt essential to arrest the adverse effects on these

natural aquaresources as well as express our care and concerns

towards wise and sustainable use of these resources. Keeping this in

view, a one-day National Seminar will be held on 14th February,

2015. Eminent geologists, scientists, sociologists and

knowledgeable people are expected in this seminar from various

parts of the country to share their scientific data, care, concerns and

impact on livelihood orally by invited speakers and eminent

workers as well as poster presentation by students and researchers

on the theme of the seminar. Interested researchers, post graduate

students, scientists, participants and all concerned persons are

requested to contribute their papers and register their names and

contact the organizing committee regarding queries, if any, to

attend the seminar.

The target audience would be geologists, biologists,

environmentalists, scientists, sociologists, college and university

students, administrative personnel, and also stake holders, etc.,

working or depending on water, salt, minerals, fodder, food and

fishery resources occurring in wetlands, aquifers and oceans in and

around the country.
