The
Indian coastline supports almost 30% of its human
population being dependent on the rich exploitable
coastal and marine resources. The Bay of Bengal and the
Arabian sea continue to be a rich fishing ground in the
South Asian region and India contributes to be the 7th
largest marine fishing nation in the world.
The Indian
coastline also supports the World’s largest mangrove in Sundarban and the rich coral formations of Andaman
Nicobar, Lakshadweep, Gulf of Kuthch and Gulf of Mannar.
