  • Coastline of Gujarat 2012
    INTRODUCTION India has a coastline of about 7,500 km , with nearly 250 million people living within 50 km of the coast. The coastal area accounts for 130 cities and a very significant share of India's economic infrastructure. Maritime facilities, petroleum industries, and import-based industries are located in the coastal zone, in addition to a large number of poor villages that depend on fishing for livelihood. The coastal areas are also subject to recurrent natural disasters such as cyclones and floods, and the 2005 tsunami devastated large areas especially along the eastern coastal states. India's coastal zone is endowed with a wide range of mangroves, coral reefs, sea grasses, salt marshes, sand dunes, estuaries, lagoons, and unique marine and terrestrial flora and fauna. Due to increasing human population, urbanization and accelerated developmental activities, including industrial and maritime development, the coastal areas have been assuming greater importance in recent years. 1 India is home to numerous beaches as a result of its extensive coastline. Whether it is a secluded beach in Andamans or a party beach of Goa, beaches in India attract thousands of tourists every year. Kerala, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Andaman & Nicobar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Lakshwadeep, Maharashtra, Orissa and Tamil Nadu offer spectacular beaches. The most popular ones in India are Anjuna, Dona Paula, Baga and Calangute Beaches in Goa; Juhu Beach in Maharashtra; Marari and Kovalam Beaches in Kerala and Marina Beach in Chennai. Gujarat in particular has great potential for Somnath Digha developing beach tourism.
