Island Erosion in India

Hey guys, we are back with another topic which can give you food for thought. We don’t post daily cause  scarcity of time. But whenever we post do follow it religiously.

Recently an uninhabited islands part of Lakshadweep named “parali 1” has vanished and has fully inundated under water . Besides “parali 1” which is a part of “Bangaram a toll”, other four Islands are also facing coastal erosion, parali 2 and 3 , Bangaram and Thinnakara.

Matter of worry is , this coastal erosion is not only confined to Lakshadweep and its Islands. It has also affected “largest Delta of world-sunderbans". There is constant threat on mangroves and other biodiversity of sunderbans.

Rising temperature and pollution is harming coral reeves of Lakshadweep, thus coastal erosion phenomenon has added more to their plight.

Regions for coastal erosion :-

Global warming and rising sea level being the first and foremost. Local reasons also play vital role in the coastal states of  India.

For e.g.-  In case of Lakshadweep, 2004 tsunami is also considered a culprit.

Besides this wave energy is also a main cause of coastal erosion.
