Case Study for south west coastal Bangladesh. Tropeca Case Study 1.
Abstract
It is commonly assumed that expansion of coastal aquaculture in Bangladesh poses risks in exceeding environmental capacity. TROPECA, a DFID-funded international research project investigates this issue with case studies in Bangladesh and Vietnam. From 2002-2004 the team in Khulna worked closely with an NGO (UTTARAN) studying an aquatic system comprising a river (Semi diurnal tidal system), a canal and 10 shrimp ponds and verified the results by wider area survey.
