At the same time evidences suggest that several unique coastal ecosystems viz., mangroves, wetlands, salt marshes, corals, estuaries, sand dunes and agro-ecosystem are vulnerable to natural disasters and events associated with global climate change. In recent times degradation of land, water and genetic erosion besides threat to native flora and fauna have been increasing due to unsustainable developmental activities. Therefore, a paradigm shift in deriving livelihood through conventional methods, developmental strategies, conservation practices are required for balanced and sustainable growth of the coastal areas. This publication strives to cover the status of different natural resources of the coastal region, various aspects of degradation process, production need and restorative methods besides new technological options and its socio-economic implications with case examples. Special focus is given to bring out the scope and potential of mangrove based farming, integrated and organic farming and its value addition besides the role of coastal vegetations as bioshield in protecting these regions from sea erosion, cyclones and tsunami. As the tropical coastal areas are vulnerable to climate change events, this book also covers the recent weather pattern, impacts of climate change and climate resilient technologies besides intuitional linkages and policy framework aimed at balancing development and environmental concerns. . 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aNature conservation 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aEcosystems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904X 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aNature Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U26008 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aNature conservation. 615 14$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aEcosystems. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aNature Conservation. 676 $a333.917 700 $aAyyam$b Velmurugan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0904015 702 $aPalanivel$b Swarnam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aChandrakasan$b Sivaperuman$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350349603321 996 $aCoastal Ecosystems of the Tropics - Adaptive Management$92020942 997 $aUNINA
