Dedicating matsyathavalams to the lake Vembanad

Dear All,

As a remedial intervention to the depleting fishery resources in the
Vembanad Lake, the Lake Protection Forums of Muhamma Panchayath have set up
three fish sanctuaries viz 'matsyathavalam' at the Anchuthaikkal, Kaippuram
and Pallithodu portions of the Lake, with the financial support from ATREE.
Indigenous technology is used to construct these structures .It will help
for the proliferation of fishery resources, providing natural hiding and
breeding places to the fishes. The Lake protection forums wish to dedicate
these 'matsyathavalams' to the lake, as these are common property resources.
Shri. K.C.Venugopal M.P has kindly consented to inaugurate this colorful
function at Shrayithodu region of the Lake, on 25th July 2009, 2 P.M, to be
followed by a half day seminar on 'Responsible fishing'.

On behalf of the Organizing committee we cordially invite you all to
participate and lent your support in protecting this great natural heritage.
