Effects of Eutrophication:
1. Decreased Turbidity:
- Eutrophication leads to the growth of algae and other aquatic plants, which can decrease the turbidity of water bodies.
- This can affect navigation and reduce the amount of light that penetrates the water, which can harm aquatic plants and animals.
2. Increased biomass of inedible toxic phytoplankton:
- Eutrophication can lead to the growth of inedible toxic phytoplankton, which can be harmful to aquatic organisms and humans.
- These phytoplankton can produce toxins that can cause fish kills, shellfish poisoning, and even illness in humans who consume contaminated seafood.
3. Increase in the bloom of gelatinous zooplankton:
- Eutrophication can also lead to the growth of gelatinous zooplankton, such as jellyfish.
- These blooms can be harmful to fish and other aquatic organisms by competing for resources, and can even cause fish kills.
4. Increase the biomass of benthic and epiphytic algae:
- Eutrophication can lead to an increase in the biomass of benthic and epiphytic algae.
- This can lead to the smothering of other aquatic plants, which can harm fish and other aquatic organisms that rely on these plants for food and habitat.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' as all the given statements except statement 1 are correct.
1. Decreased Turbidity:
- Eutrophication leads to the growth of algae and other aquatic plants, which can decrease the turbidity of water bodies.

Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'B', which means that statement 2 only is correct.
Water requires more energy to change its temperature because of its high heat capacity. This means that it takes a larger amount of heat energy to raise or lower the temperature of water compared to air.
Let's break down the given statements to understand why option 'B' is correct:
Statement 1: The water temperature changes more rapidly than the temperature of the air.
This statement is incorrect. In fact, the temperature of water changes more slowly than the temperature of air. This is because water has a higher specific heat capacity than air.
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one unit of mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. Water has a higher specific heat capacity than air, which means that it takes more energy to raise the temperature of water than it does to raise the temperature of air.
Statement 2: Larger amounts of heat energy must be added to or taken away from water to raise or lower its temperature.
This statement is correct. As mentioned earlier, water has a higher specific heat capacity than air, which means that it takes a larger amount of heat energy to raise or lower the temperature of water compared to air.
In practical terms, this means that water can absorb a lot of heat energy from the environment without experiencing a large change in temperature. This is why large bodies of water, such as oceans and lakes, take a long time to warm up or cool down.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, statement 2 is correct because water has a higher specific heat capacity than air, which means that it takes a larger amount of heat energy to raise or lower the temperature of water compared to air. Statement 1 is incorrect because the temperature of water changes more slowly than the temperature of air due to water's higher specific heat capacity.

Sameer Nambiar answered |
The correct answer is option 'D' - Mandatory creation of marine parks in all CRZ-IV areas. This is not a feature of the CRZ Notification, 2018.
The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification, 2018 was introduced by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) in January 2019. It aimed to streamline the coastal regulation process and provide a framework for sustainable development and conservation of coastal areas.
Let's discuss the features of the CRZ Notification, 2018 to understand why option 'D' is the correct answer:
1. Streamlining of CRZ clearances:
- The notification aimed to simplify and streamline the process of obtaining clearances for various activities in the coastal areas.
- The classification of CRZ areas was rationalized into four categories (CRZ-I, CRZ-II, CRZ-III, and CRZ-IV) based on their ecological sensitivity and development needs.
2. De-freezing of Floor Space Index (FSI) in CRZ-II areas:
- The CRZ Notification, 2018 allowed the state and Union Territory governments to formulate their own policies for construction activities in CRZ-II areas.
- The earlier restriction on the FSI was removed, giving more flexibility to the local authorities to decide on the permissible FSI.
3. Establishment of a hazard line for coastal areas:
- The notification introduced the concept of a hazard line, which is a line demarcating the area likely to be affected by coastal hazards such as sea-level rise, storms, and erosion.
- It aimed to regulate development activities and prevent construction in areas prone to hazards, ensuring the safety of coastal communities.
4. Mandatory creation of marine parks in all CRZ-IV areas:
- This statement is not a feature of the CRZ Notification, 2018.
- CRZ-IV areas are designated as the areas that are undeveloped or lightly developed, and they have been excluded from the purview of the CRZ Notification, 2018.
- The notification does not mandate the creation of marine parks in CRZ-IV areas.
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'D' - Mandatory creation of marine parks in all CRZ-IV areas. This is not a feature of the CRZ Notification, 2018. The notification focuses on streamlining clearances, de-freezing FSI in CRZ-II areas, and establishing a hazard line for coastal areas.

- Lakes are also classified based on their water chemistry. Based on the levels of salinity, they are known as Freshwater, Brackish or Saline lakes (similar to that of classification of the aquatic ecosystem).
- Based on their nutrient content, they are categorized as Oligotrophic (very low nutrients), Mesotrophic (moderate nutrients) and Eutrophic (highly nutrient-rich). • Vast majority of lakes in India are either eutrophic or mesotrophic because of the nutrients derived from their surroundings or organic wastes entering them.

Periphyton as Attached Organisms to Plants
Periphyton is a group of organisms that attach themselves to the stems and leaves of rooted plants or substances emerging above the bottom mud. They are also known as benthic algae or epiphyton.
The term “periphyton” is derived from the Greek words peri, meaning “around,” and phyton, meaning “plant.” These organisms include various types of algae, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa.
Periphyton is commonly found in freshwater and marine environments. They play an important role in the aquatic ecosystem by providing food and shelter for many aquatic species.
Importance of Periphyton
Periphyton plays an essential role in the aquatic ecosystem as they are the primary producers. They produce their food through photosynthesis, which is the process of converting sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into organic matter.
Periphyton provides food for many aquatic organisms such as fish, snails, and insects. It also provides a habitat for small aquatic animals, including worms, insects, and crustaceans.
Periphyton is also important in nutrient cycling. They absorb and recycle nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which are essential for the growth of plants and other aquatic organisms.
Conclusion
In conclusion, periphyton is a group of organisms that attach themselves to the stems and leaves of rooted plants or substances emerging above the bottom mud. They are important in the aquatic ecosystem as they provide food, shelter, and play a vital role in nutrient cycling.

Explanation:
1. Photic Zone Definition:
- The first statement is correct. The photic zone is the lighted and usually well-mixed portion of a lake that extends from the surface down to where the light level is 1% of that at the surface.
2. Respiration Activity:
- The second statement is also correct. Respiration activity takes place in the photic zone, as it is the layer where photosynthetic organisms like algae and phytoplankton can thrive and produce oxygen through photosynthesis.
3. Depth Dependence on Water Transparency:
- The third statement is correct as well. The depth of the photic zone depends on the transparency of the water. Clearer water allows light to penetrate deeper, resulting in a deeper photic zone, while murky or turbid water may limit the depth of the zone.
Therefore, all the given statements about the photic zone are correct. It is an essential layer in lakes where light penetration supports primary production and sustains the aquatic ecosystem.

Reason (R): Riverfront development is essential for promoting tourism along the Ganga River.
Riverfront development is indeed a part of the Namami Ganga Program, which aims to rejuvenate the Ganga River and its surrounding areas. By developing the riverfront in key locations, the program seeks to not only improve the aesthetics and infrastructure of these areas but also attract tourists and promote economic activities. While riverfront development can contribute to the promotion of tourism along the Ganga River, it is not the sole purpose of the initiatives under the Namami Ganga Program. The program also focuses on various other aspects such as pollution control, waste management, and conservation of the river ecosystem. Therefore, while both the assertion and reason are true, the reason provided does not fully explain the inclusion of riverfront development in the Namami Ganga Program.

By developing the riverfront in key locations, the program seeks to not only improve the aesthetics and infrastructure of these areas but also attract tourists and promote economic activities. While riverfront development can contribute to the promotion of tourism along the Ganga River, it is not the sole purpose of the initiatives under the Namami Ganga Program. The program also focuses on various other aspects such as pollution control, waste management, and conservation of the river ecosystem. Therefore, while both the assertion and reason are true, the reason provided does not fully explain the inclusion of riverfront development in the Namami Ganga Program.

Statement Analysis:
Statement 1:
The Wildlife Crime Control Bureau focuses on strengthening enforcement of laws and controlling poaching.
Statement 2:
Coral reefs are included in Schedule 2 of the Wild Life Protection Act, 1972.
Explanation:
- The Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB) is a statutory multi-disciplinary body established by the Government of India under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change to combat organized wildlife crime in the country. It focuses on strengthening enforcement of laws related to wildlife protection, prevention of wildlife crimes such as poaching, smuggling of endangered species, illegal trade in wildlife and their derivatives.
- The Wild Life Protection Act, 1972 is an important legislation in India for the protection of wildlife and biodiversity. Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of the Act provide different levels of protection to various species. Coral reefs, being an important part of marine ecosystems, are not specifically listed in Schedule 2 of the Act. They may be indirectly protected under various provisions of the Act related to the conservation of biodiversity and protection of habitats.
Conclusion:
- Statement 1 is true as the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau does focus on strengthening enforcement of laws and controlling poaching.
- Statement 2 is false as coral reefs are not specifically included in Schedule 2 of the Wild Life Protection Act, 1972.

Analysis of Statement 1
The Coastal Ocean Monitoring and Prediction System (COMAPS) was indeed established for pollution monitoring in coastal waters, starting in 1991.
- Purpose: Its primary goal is to monitor and predict pollution levels, ensuring the health of marine ecosystems.
- Significance: This initiative helps in identifying pollution sources, managing water quality, and protecting coastal environments.
Analysis of Statement 2
The second statement claims that the primary focus of COMAPS is on industrial development and maritime navigation.
- Incorrect Focus: While industrial development and navigation are important aspects of coastal management, they are not the main focus of COMAPS.
- Primary Focus: The system is primarily concerned with environmental monitoring rather than promoting industrial or navigational interests.
Conclusion
Given the evaluations of both statements:
- Statement 1 is true as it accurately reflects the purpose and implementation of COMAPS.
- Statement 2 is false as it misrepresents the primary focus of the system.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'C': Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.

Explanation:
Statement 1:
- The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification (2011) indeed regulates development activities along the sea coast and tidal-influenced water bodies. The notification aims to protect and conserve coastal ecosystems while promoting sustainable development.
Statement 2:
- Mangroves and coral reef areas are actually included in CRZ-1 category, which is the most ecologically sensitive zone where no development activities are permitted. These areas are crucial for coastal biodiversity and are protected under the CRZ regulations.
Therefore, statement 1 is true as it correctly describes the CRZ Notification (2011), but statement 2 is false as mangroves and coral reef areas are included in the CRZ-1 category.
