2018
Pir Jahania, the famous shrine situated in the shore of Bay of Bengal and its scenic beach
attract many tourists for their religious sentiment and as a beautiful picnic spot. The
green cover of casuarinas, good mangrove vegetation and the mass nesting site of Olive
ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) turtles are the specialty of this place. In spite of constant
efforts by the forest department of Puri, continuous human interference deteriorates the
environment with plastic pollution and other non-biodegradable materials like stray foam,
thermocol, glass bottles turning the protection of the same as a major concern for the
environmentalists. Puri Field Centre of ICAR-CMFRI along with forest department of Puri
thus decided to make an awareness programme on plastic pollution in this tourist place.
