Environmental impact and consequences of marine life and mangroves

  • 1. COMSATS Inst. of Information Technology, Abbottabad (Pakistan)

Description

River Indus delta is one of the world largest mangrove growing area where not only the sea life with varying species bread but it is also a home of migrating birds. Karachi, the only largest port and city of Pakistan makes the harbor and coast-line polluted. The encouraging industrial policy of government to set up industries and continuous increasing shipping in the area has further aggravated the environment condition. This has endangered not only the habitats but is likely to affect the marine life too. (author)
