This coastal belt in the neighboring areas of the city is viewed as dumping sites for industrial effluents and disposing domestic waste (Arunagiri et al., 1998).

Coastal area is the confluence point of the natural land based nutrients and the salt based oceans. Coastal water provides livelihood and also serves as treasure for genetic stock. Coastal zone occupies 10 of the marine area and produces 90 of total marine food. Coastline provides seat for atomic and thermal power generations. Optimum benefit of the coastal water can be achieved by preserving its natural integrity under unpolluted atmosphere. It is essential to bring about a joint management of enforcing agencies of environmental loss industrial agencies causing environment pollution and users of natural resources of the coastal areas. The concept behind this approach is to evolve eco-environmental friendly strategies with a participatory approach of all concerned.
