The content of the website is the outcome of my association with Pallikaranai Marsh for over a period of approximately 3 ½ years. This report is the joint work done by Dipankar C.Patnaik and Priya Narayanan. We did most of this work for our master’s project in Spatial Information Technology in the Department of Geography, University of Madras.

I started in my masters for my project dissertation where in I came in contact with a myriad range of people ranging to the NGOs like Exnora International, Care Earth to the Authorities like the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) and the National Institute of Ocean Technology. We owe this work to their help and guidance all through.
