The coastal environment plays a vital role in India's economy:-

1.Coastal fisheries are immensely important, both economically and in terms of environmental health. In India

they provide essential livelihoods and shape the local cultures of a large share of the population.

2. Coastal vegetation habitats, such as mangrove forests, serve as buffers to protect the shore line from wind

generated storms and support coastal ecology.

3. coastal beaches prevent salt water intrusion into the ground water which is used for drinking water and

agriculture and therefore fundamental for our water and food security
