Handbook on Hard Corals of India

The Government of India has acknowledged the importance of the coral reef environment by putting in place an accelerated programme to document and manage its reef. It is as part of this programme that this handbook of the corals of India has been developed. Drs. Venkataraman, Satyanarayana, Alfred and Wolstenholme have developed the descriptions of the corals in such a way that they are accessible to as broad an audience as possible. Whether as part of a training programme for surveying corals on reefs, ar as an individual wishing to extend your knowledge, you will find this book offers a comprehensive, up-to-date summary of the species likely to be encountered and their distinctive characteristics....Carden Wallace Director of the Museum of Tropical Queensland
