Kadinamkulam Lake- Tourist place in Attingal

A study conducted last month reports that the brackish water Kadinamkulam Lake is not only the biggest inland water body of Thiruvananthapuram district but also one gifted with a rich aquatic ecosystem that qualifies it to be declared as a Ramsar site.

The studies says that the 3.25 square kilometer lake is the most neglected the wetland of Thiruvananthapuram. The fish caught from the lake which used to be about 500 tonnes annually has now dropped to less than 100 tonnes.

The reports says that if the lake is adequately protected it has the potential to provide the means of livelihood to at least 500 women through mussel and oyster farming.

No mangroves

The lake is linked to the sea through the Muthalapozhi estuary, but is almost completely devoid of mangroves though it has the environment to sustain mangrove forests. This is a reason for the drop in the lake’s fish wealth.

Even now about 300 inland fishermen depend upon the lake for their livelihood. Human activities, especially encroachment and dumping of plastic waste, are the biggest threat faced by the lake.

The studies suggests an allocation of funds for planting mangrove saplings along a 10-hectare spread of the lake during this fiscal. Funding is also required for removing wastes and also for sea ranching of pearl spot, freshwater shrimp and mud crab seeds in the lake.
