Abstract/Description: | The coastal zone represents the transition zone between terrestrial and marine influence. India has an 8129 km long coastline. Its peninsular region is bounded by the Arabian Sea on the west, the Bay of Bengal on the east and Indian Ocean to its south. It has two island-ecosystems, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal and the Lakshadweep Islands in the Arabian Sea. Coastal areas, mostly saline in nature. The salinity problem in coastal soils is developed during the process of their formation under marine influence and subsequently due to periodical inundation with tidal water, and in case of lowlands having proximity to the sea, due to the high water table with high concentration of salts in it. On an average the marine influence with typical coastal flora and fauna exist approximately upto 50km inshore. Besides a number of soil and water related factors limiting productivity of food grain crops, the entire shoreline is extremely fragile in nature. |
