India is endowed with heterogeneous landforms and variety of
climatic conditions which provide macro relief of high plateau, open valleys,
rolling upland, fertile plains, swampy low lands and barren deserts (Sehgal
et al., 1992). Among them, the coastal region is most important because it
includes both land and marine resources besides intense interactions
between various natural processes and human activities takes place which
are important factors for development. India has a long coastline of about
5422 km excluding islands which includes 8 states and 3 union territories
(Table 1). Between the Western Ghats and West coast lies the narrow
Western coastal plain, Eastern coastal plain stretches between Eastern Ghats
and East coastal. Both the coastal regions are interspaced by several river
systems which brings fertile silt and water from the mountain ranges. This
region assumes its importance because of high productivity of its
ecosystems, concentration of population, exploitation of natural resources,
development of various industries, discharge of waste effluent increasing
load on harbours and above all petroleum exploration activities. This region
offers plenty of scope for organic farming by virtue of its potential (OFP,
2005) while it becomes necessary due to increasing rate of resource
degradation.
