Australian (SA) government on the northeast coast of Gulf St Vincent, betweenPort Parham in the north and the southern end
of Barker Inlet in the south, over the period 2014 to 2018 for the purpose of rehabilitating land used as salt pans, protecting habitat
for international migratoryshorebirds, managing water quality in adjoining parts of Gulf St Vincent, creation of green space,
development of niche tourism and creation of opportunities for indigenous people. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary is an estuarine
mangrove habitat, which is declared as abird sanctuary, and located on western tip of the Island of Chorao along the Mandovi
River, Goa, in India. The sanctuary is named after Salim Ali, the eminent Indianornithologist.

Sanctuary(established in 1979, also known as the Jawaharlal Nehru Bustard Sanctuary of Maharashtra) is a wildlife sanctuary for
thegreat Indian bustard (Ardeotis nigriceps) atSolapur, Maharashtra, India. The land is drought-prone and semi-arid.[2]

Maharashtra is one of the six states of India where great Indian bustards (Ardeotis nigriceps) are still seen . The great Indian
bustard at Nannaj and Karmala was first identified By Mr B.S.Kulkarni in 1972 and with his constant efforts to save the bird had
resulted in Dr. Salim Alivisiting Nannaj and starting a research project. Mr Kulkarni wrote exentsively in local newspapers and made
people aware of its existence and he is still active in trying to protect the bird and its habitat at Nannaj, near Solapur. In former days
the bustard was a common bird in the dry districts of Maharashtra. Mayani Bird Sanctuary is a bird sanctuary located near Vaduj,
in Maharashtra, India. Mayani is well connected from district places like Satara and Sangali, and around 20 km fromVita. It is a
market place for near by villages and a developed place with colleges and medical facilities. Chilika lake is a brackish water lagoon,
spread over the Puri, Khurda and Ganjam districts ofOdisha state on the east coast of India, at the mouth of the Daya River, flowing
into the Bay of Bengal, covering an area of over 1,100 km2. It is the largest coastal lagoon in India and the second largest lagoon in
the world[3][4][dubious discuss] after The New Caledonian barrier reef in New Caledonia.[5]

It is the largest wintering ground for migratory birds on the Indian sub-continent. The lake is home to a number of threatened species
of plants and animals.[6][7]

The lake is an ecosystem with large fishery resources. It sustains more than 150,000 fisherfolk living in 132 villages on the shore
and islands.[8][9]

The lagoon hosts over 160 species of birds in the peak migratory season. Birds from as far as the Caspian Sea, Lake Baikal, Aral
Sea and other remote parts of Russia, Kirghiz steppes of Mongolia, Central and southeast Asia, Ladakh and Himalayas come here.
These birds travel great distances; migratory birds probably follow much longer routes than the straight lines, possibly up to
12,000 km, to reach Chilika LakThe Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary is a proposed protected area inSouth Australia to be

This very low-gradient, low-energy coastline, containing a broad lateral extent of subtidal seagrass meadows, intertidal mangroves
and supratidal saltmarshes and salinas, extends from the Adelaidemetropolitan area as far as the head of Gulf St Vincent, and is
also known as the "Samphire Coast". The coastline north of Port Parham, outside the proposed sanctuary, also has a high degree of
protection through being in the Port Wakefield Proof and Experimental Establishment, and the Clinton Conservation Park.
