The role of various hydrodynamic factors in shaping the coastal configuration and physicochemical parameters of coastal waters, soils, and granulometry of beach sands are extensively discussed. The coasts of the Indian peninsula, particularly the east coast, are subjected to severe cyclones, tidal bores, storm surges, and strong drift, which changes the coastal configuration as well as the quality of waters and the fertility of soils. A systematic description of major cyclones and their effects on coastal areas are described in detail. The book offers comprehensive information on the prevailing ecological conditions and lush green mangrove forests with wide-ranging flora and fauna of Sundarbans. UNESCO has declared Sundarbans as one of the worlds heritage sites, and as in other parts of the world, some of the coastal areas in West Bengal have attracted the attention of many tourists. Various steps undertaken by the government for coastal zone management and sustainable development of the coastal areas have been highlighted in the book. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of the coastal environment. 001452225 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001452225 650_0 $$aCoastal ecology$$zIndia$$zWest Bengal. 001452225 651_0 $$aWest Bengal (India)$$xEnvironmental conditions. 001452225 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001452225 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDas, Gautam Kumar.$$tCoastal environments of India.$$dCham : Springer, 2022$$z9783031188459$$w(OCoLC)1348996106 001452225 830_0 $$aSpringer water. 001452225 852__ $$bebk 001452225 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-18846-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001452225 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1452225$$pGLOBAL_SET 001452225 980__ $$aBIB 001452225 980__ $$aEBOOK 001452225 982__ $$aEbook 001452225 983__ $$aOnline 001452225 994__ $$a92$$bISE
