Question

Why lakshadweep is less influenced give 2 reasons

Answer 1

Explanation:

Key parameters such as population size, number of houses, passenger traffic, cargo traffic and fish catch of ten major islands of the Lakshadweep archipelago are analysed to study the impact of Human activities on the reefs. Lakshadweep has the third largest population density in the country. Rapidly escalating developmental activities are largely responsible for the degradation of the reefs. Fishery resources are under-exploited and the fish catch can be augi-nented by adopting modem methods and diverting the impact of fishing boats to mainland ports. There is an urgent need to halt the degradation of reefs and reverse the trend.
