Authors
Sandhya Leeda D Souza
Abstract
India is one of the largest contributors to marine pollution in the
world. Pollution in marine habitat can occur through various ways like dumping
of waste, sewage and industrial pollutants, and the use of fishing nets and
plastics. In this review the status of marine pollution is assessed based on
the case studies from the coastal states. It summarises the mitigation measures
to marine pollution and effects on biota, and human health. Measures taken by
Indian government to minimise pollution are discussed. However, marine
pollution control is far from complete, the effective implementation of
strategies would help in sustainability of the marine ecosystems contributing
to country’s economy.
