Coastal karnataka environment moment

Karnataka’s coast stretches across approximately 320 kilometers in the districts of Dakshina Kannada (62 km of coastline), Udupi (98 km) and Uttara Kannada (160 km). The coastline is flanked by the moderately unpolluted Arabian Sea in the west and a vast picturesque Western Ghats in the east. There are three distinct agro-climatic zones ranging from coastal flatlands in the west with undulating hills and valleys in the middle and high hills in the east. Several ridges and spurs of Western Ghats traverse this region and open into the sea. It has difficult terrains full of rivers, creeks, waterfalls, peaks and hill ranges. The coastal region consists of two broad physical units, the plains and the Western Ghats. The coastal plains comprise narrow stretches of estuarine and marine plains of a width between 50 km and 80 km.

The three coastal districts have eight talukas adjacent to the coast which has 22 urban agglomerations and 1,044 villages. The area’s average population density is 253 persons/km2 (337 in Dakshina Kannada, 290 in Udupi and 132 in Uttara Kannada). The area is predominantly agrarian engaging about 60% of the workforce. More than 70% of cultivated land is under cereals with rice as the principle crop. Fishing is one of the major sources of livelihood with about one lakh people directly engaged in it and another two lakh in associated work.

In addition, industrial activities have also recorded a rapid growth providing direct employment to nearly two lakh people. Similar to problems across the globe, the situation is no different in Karnataka. Industrialization, improper land use, unsustainable economic activities and overexploitation of natural resources have adversely affected the coastal environment. Effluents and emissions discharged by large industries and power plants, sewage discharge, unregulated tourism and intensive aquaculture have negatively impacted the coastal environment. Decline in mangroves and coastal wetlands have eroded its pollutant-filtering capacity...
