areas might be polluted to a great extent and it may
cause severe health hazard for the existence of life in
transitional water zones.
9 Conclusion
It is necessary to summarize the entire facts and
figures and to pull out some the key & focal points
from the discussion made above. All coastal lagoons
are more or less having same features and displays
similar kind of fate. Coastal lagoons are rich in
biodiversity due to the coexistence of different
ecosystems. It s a self sustained unit in terms of nutrient
recycling. Provides livelihood for a larger portion of
human population through fisheries and tourism point of
view. Due to natural and anthropogenic activity, stress
on coastal lagoon is increasing day by day and it will
be severe in near future due to climate change and
global warming. Thus long term management planning
is essential to combat against the consequence which
will arise due to sea level rise, global warming and
climate change.
