COMMUNITY AWARENESS PROGRAMMEAwareness is the ability to

perceive, to feel, or to be conscious of events, objects, thoughts, emotions, or sensory patterns.

In biological psychology, awareness is defined as a human's or an animal's perception and cognitive reaction to a condition or event.

Community awareness often refers to the degree that people generally know about each other, about social norms and people’s different roles within the community, and about issues that affect the community.

Maintaining awareness of the on-going changes in the environment and the attributes of people, in-between interpersonal interactions, helps build and sustain social networks, facilitates the collaboration in creative work, and contributes to the missing link for achieving the state of “readiness” for such collaborations.

When members know a community well, orient toward each other and the group as a whole, and feel a strong sense of attachment to the group, a sense of community is achieved.

Community Awareness Programme (CAP) was formed in September 1997 from a desire by Ernest and Elisabeth Hibbert to try and meet some of the needs of the homeless and disadvantaged in the Wakefield District.The project is funded and resourced by public and private donations and is headed by six trustees, a management committee and a team of 40 dedicated volunteers. The community awareness program is a social based program. Through this program the organizers aimed to make the people aware about the social based issues, new findings, etc.The way to conduct the community awareness programs are through seminars, camps, services, classes, debates, etc.

AQUACULTUREAquaculture refers to the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of plants and animals in all types of water environments.

Aquaculture produces food fish, sport fish, bait fish, ornamental fish, crustaceans, mollscus, fish eggs etc.

Two types: fresh water and marine.

Marine aquaculture refers to the culturing of species that live in the ocean.  

Freshwater aquaculture produces species that are native to rivers, lakes, and streams.

Fish FarmingThe farming of fish is the most common form of aquaculture.

It involves raising fish commercially in tanks, ponds, or ocean enclosures, usually for food.

the most important fish species used in fish farming are, in order, carp, salmon, tilapia and catfish.

Crustaceans Farming (Shrimp farm and

Freshwater prawn farm)• Commercial shrimp farming began in the 1970s.

• Shrimp farming has changed from its traditional, small-scale form in Southeast Asia into a global industry.

• Freshwater prawn farming shares many characteristics with, including many problems with, marine shrimp farming.

Molluscs Farming (Oyster farming)• Aqua cultured shellfish include various oyster, mussel and clam species.

• These bivalves are filter and/or deposit feeders, which rely on ambient primary production rather than inputs of fish or other feed.

Other groups• Other groups include aquatic reptiles, amphibians, and miscellaneous invertebrates, such as echinoderms and jellyfish.

VIVARIUM A portion of the ecosystem for a particular species is simulated on a smaller scale, with controls for environmental conditions.

A vivarium may be small enough to sit on a desk or table, such as a terrarium or an aquarium, or may be a very large structure, possibly outdoors.

There are various forms of vivarium, including:Aquarium, Insectarium, Terrarium, Paludarium,

Penguinarium, Riparium.
