Biodiversity of the Ghuradia beel and prospect for using beel nursery

It is extremely important to apply community based co-management approach to harness aquatic resources and conserve biodiversity of the beel. In order to promote biodiversity the deep area of the beel must be declared as sanctuaries to protect the aquatic lives in all season, strict enforcement of fish Act-1950, forbidding unplanned digging and sedimentation; avoid unplanned construction of flood control, embankments, drainage system and sluice gates, conversion of inundated land to cropland (reducing water area); and controlling use of pesticides and agrochemicals in the beel and flood plain area. The above issue will be lead to ensure the food security of the people of Bangladesh.
