Vembanad Kole Wetlands: Legacy of Fishing and Farming Below Sea Level presents an in-depth study of Kerala’s Ramsar-listed wetland ecosystem. Drawing on decades of research, the authors explore its history, ecology, biodiversity, and traditional practices like rice-fish rotation that supported local livelihoods. The book critically examines modern threats such as urbanization, pollution, overfishing, and unsustainable aquaculture. It highlights hydrological changes and declining fish resources while stressing the importance of traditional knowledge. The work ultimately calls for sustainable development, sound policy, and community-based conservation to safeguard the wetlands’ future.
