These are among the most threatened and vulnerable ecosystems worldwide. Mutations in the extent of mangroves will have many consequences to nature. The present study was aimed to analyse the vegetation change of Nettoor mangrove located in Kochi, Kerala by calculating the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The changes in Nettoor Mangroves over the years 1992 to 2019 was examined using the application of GIS in this study. As these forests are sensitive and fragile to atmospheric behaviour, expansion of industrial and agricultural activities will bounce to many environmental and ecological disorders. Assessment of mangrove ecosystem is the most important factor in analysing the impact of human interventions on Coastal Ecosystem. Reliable and timely information is required in order to monitor and manage the Mangrove ecosystem. Landsat images of Nettoor mangroves were downloaded using USGS (United States Geological Survey) Earth Explorer and then analysed using ArcGIS to calculate NDVI. The formula to calculate NDVI is (IR-R) / (IR+R). NDVI was calculated using Raster Calculator in Arc Toolbox. The study area was then classified into five classes based on the variation of NDVI. Vegetation change over the years was observed and then graphs were plotted. Nettoor Mangroves are severely suffering from a reduction in their extent due to various social, environmental and economic factors. 9 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Mangroves are those trees, shrubs or palms that grow at the riparian zone. They thrive in conditions of high salinity, extreme tides, strong winds, high temperatures and muddy, anaerobic soils. There could even be no other group of plants with such highly developed morphological and physiological adaptations to extreme conditions (Miththapala, 2008). Majority have root systems that enable the plants to breathe despite being anchored in saturated, non-porous soils depleted of oxygen. Mangroves are the most productive and diverse wetlands in the planet and are found in tropical and subtropical wetlands. These are among the most threatened and vulnerable ecosystems worldwide. Alongi (2002) analysed a number of ecosystem properties of mangroves. He observed that: 1) Rates of mangrove primary productivity rivals those of other tropical forests 2) Mangrove forests are architecturally simple, but they possess a complex system of factors regulating their structure, recruitment and growth 3) Mangrove growth is not constant but related to climatic patterns 4) Tree diversity is low, but faunal and microbial diversity can be high 5) Plant –microbe soil relations are highly advanced and efficient 6) Crabs are keystone species influencing mangrove function and structure. 7) Important players in animal-plant relations are arboreal community. 8) Algae and not just detritus are a significant food resource. 9) Mangroves are an important link to fisheries. 10) Mangroves are chemically diverse and a good source of natural products. 10 1.1.IMPORTANCE OF MANGROVES Mangroves are necessarily tolerant of high salt levels and have mechanisms to require up water despite strong osmotic potentials thanks to their environment. Some mangroves also take up salts, but excrete them through specialized glands in the leaves. Others transfer salts into senescent leaves or store them within the bark or the wood. Mangroves create unique ecological environments that harbour rich assemblages of species. The marshy sediments of the mangroves are habitat to a large number of epibenthic, infaunal, and meiofaunal invertebrates. Channels within the mangals support the habitat of phytoplankton, zooplankton and fish. The mangroves play a special role as nursery habitat for juveniles of fish whose adults occupy other habitats (e.g. coral reefs and seagrass beds). The submerged mangroves roots, trunks and branches are islands of habitat having capability to draw in rich epifaunal communities including bacteria, fungi, macroalgae and invertebrates since they're surrounded by loose sediments. The aerial roots, trunks, leaves and branches anchor other groups of organisms. A number of crab species live among the roots, on the trunks

The present study used the FVCOM hydrodynamic model coupled with a Lagrangian particle module (passive) to estimate the residence time and to delineate site‐specific transport pathways in the CE. Moreover, understanding the back and forth movements and residence time of particles was elucidated using metrics such as path length, net displacement, tortuosity and time to flushed out from the system. Spatio‐temporal patterns of the particle distribution in the CE showed a similar trend during monsoon and post‐monsoon with an average residence time of 25 and 30 days respectively. During the low river discharge period(pre‐monsoon),flood‐ebb velocities resulteda minimum net transport of the water andlonger residence time of 90 days compared to that of high discharge period (monsoon). During the pre‐monsoon, particle releasedat the southern upstream (station.
