Subject Marine Pollution
 
Description India's 8118 km long coastline is noted by the presence of a vast network of
backwaters, estuaries, creeks, lagoons, mangrove and coral reefs. The total area
of mangroves in India is estimated to be 4827 km2 that includes the Indian side
of Sunderbans, the world's largest mangroves centre. More than 5,OUO species
of marine flora and fauna have been recorded so far from the coastal and marine
waters of the country. In this background, there is an urge to protect and conserve
the coastal and marine habitats by making all man-made production activities
sustainable. The beaches and the adjoining land area are the most affected as
these are extensively used for recreation, relaxation and amusement.
