- Provides insights into ecosystem services of the coastal zone and estuaries which have direct impact on national GDPs
- Offers insights from one of the most fragile ecosystems in the world, Indian Sundarbans, a World Heritage Site
- Presents in-depth case studies which highlight challenges of increasing acidification of coastal and estuarine waters
This book provides a cross-sectoral, multi-disciplinary assessment of different problems associated with estuarine acidification with special thrust on mangrove dominated Indian Sundarban estuaries. The arms of ocean acidification have extended to coastal and estuarine waters, where a wide spectrum of biodiversity thrives with unique adaptation extending several ecosystem services. Impact of acidification in these areas is a matter of concern as acidification potentially has more immediate effects on the health of estuaries and inshore regions as well as regional economies. Ground zero data collected for more than three decades have made the book stand on a strong base.
