Abstract

India is blessed with a long coastline of 8129 km, which borders almost half of the total land frontier of our country. As per the predictions of Inter-governmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), our geographical location is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and the consequent increase in sea level can devastate the nine coastal states and four Union Territories of India. Global warming is a reality and our densely-populated coastal areas are threatened by floods, storms, weather extremes, food and water scarcity, and diseases. Confronting existing challenges put forth by humans, such as pollution, is already a matter of concern for the coastal areas. So, to address the additional stress of climate change, we need innovative approaches of ecosystem management.
