Description The adverse effects of thermal discharges into coastal waters from power plants have been reviewed. The direct and indirect impacts of thermal pollution to marine biota have been discussed briefly. The tolerance limits documented elsewhere have been indicated. In the absence of data on temperature tolerance of aquatic species along the Indian Coast, it is suggested that at discharge point (within a few hundred meters) the temperature should always be limited to around 35 deg C. Further the need of monitoring the aquatic species at discharge point of power plants along Indian coastline to establish a guideline is highlighted.
