Abstract

This overview summarizes the coastal and marine biodiversity of the Indian seas and their various ecosystems. In terms of spatial coverage, probably only two-thirds of the total marine habitat has been covered till today and the remote islands and other minor estuaries still virtually remain untouched. It is, therefore, likely that true inventory of coastal and marine biodiversity could be several times higher than what is known today. The Government of India has established many marine protected areas for conservation of fauna and flora. For better conservation of marine ecosystems of India the community involvement in the management programmes is highly essential.
