Political Ecology of Wetland Management: the post aquaculture demolition case of Lake Kolleru in India

The present study highlights the uncertainties that govern wetland management using the Kolleru Wetland case study. The largest fresh water lake and an Ramsar site of international importance it has circled around over past half century from being a fresh water balancing reservoir to agriculture land and shifting as a aquaculture treasure island and lastly ceasing to the aquaculture demolition vis’-a-vis’ restoration conflict in 2007. As nearly all stopovers of this journey was driven by policy shift that demanded economic benefit while surpassing ecological and social community growth. We hereby discuss the event and the analysis of the present state of affairs also spotlighting the major concerns on multiple fronts
