Abstract
Most of Orissa's 480 kms of coastline used to be covered with mangroves a few decades ago. Immigrants from Bangladesh settled in 1971 in the coastal areas which were thickly forested with mangrove jungles, soon converting the land into paddy fields. Subsequently, prawn farming became popular in the eighties, since these areas are ideal for setting up prawn farms.
