Environmental consequences, developmental pressure, social and livelihood insecurity, economic sustainability, and climate change are all factors that have prompted the need to revise existing conservation and sustainable policies along the Gujarat coast. In 1998, the Gujarat Ecology Society (GES) conducted a baseline survey throughout the Gujarat coast, documenting environmental, demographic, and sociological changes in coastal talukas. The book is a follow-up to the Gujarat Ecology Society's (GES) thorough benchmark research from 1998, which looked at the ecology of the Gujarat coast and trends over the last two decades. The book is divided into seven chapters, one for each coastal section of the Gulf of Kachchh, Gulf of Khambhat, Saurashtra coast, and South Gujarat coast. It highlights dynamism in the environment, development, population, and socio-economic factors. <
