COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT IN INDIA

Author: Ashok Kumar

Coastal Zone Management should safeguard the ecological security of the coastal areas to avoid pollution as well as the exploitation of living and non-living aquatic resources, protecting the agrarian community and avian population and floral and faunal breeding grounds. The coastal zone is facing pressures from land use changes, developmental activities, shoreline erosion, biodiversity losses, and natural calamities. This book tries to cover almost all the fields of research concerning the arrangement of the coastal environment and presents it as an integrated approach. Further, this volume addresses the issues which need immediate attention for facilitating the integrated analysis of the sustainability of coastal zones with a consolidated source of information from scientists working in various aspects of the coastal zone. All the chapters are a multidisciplinary source of information, making an effort to link the various views on coastal zones where millions of people’s livelihoods are likely to be at risk if they are not managed with efficient scientific strategies. The Author has tried to focus this respective view on the current problems that need urgent attention. This book will appeal to researchers and scientific associations interested in coastal zone management.
