This area is referred to as a Ramsar Site, a designation given to areas with special protection statuses, since it is the largest natural waste recycling system in the world. The site faces many threats to its biodiversity and ecosystem functioning due to anthropogenic activity in the region, and therefore an assessment of the ecosystem services, bio-ecological uniqueness, and issues stemming from climate change and human impacts is needed to develop protection strategies for the future ecological functioning and sustainability of the wetlands. The authors use GIS and remote sensing techniques to assess and monitor harmful industrial and environmental impacts on the wetlands, and to inform mitigation and conservation strategies in the face of ongoing threats such as pollution, habitat destruction and bioinvasion. Thebook also highlights various social and economic aspects tied to the functioning and management of the wetlands, along with ecological, biological, and physio-chemical considerations. The study will be of use to students and researchers in aquatic ecology, biodiversity, and environmental sustainability and conservation, as well as to environmental planners, engineers, andpolicymakers. . 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aFreshwater ecology 606 $aMarine ecology 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aEnvironmental Management 606 $aFreshwater and Marine Ecology 606 $aEcosystems 606 $aEnvironmental Monitoring 606 $aBiodiversity 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aFreshwater ecology. 615 0$aMarine ecology. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aFreshwater and Marine Ecology. 615 24$aEcosystems. 615 24$aEnvironmental Monitoring. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 676 $a002 676 $a333.9180954147 700 $aChakraborty$b Susanta Kumar$0851634 702 $aSanyal$b Poulomi 702 $aRay$b Ratnadeep 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910682598003321 996 $aWetlands Ecology$93074361 997 $aUNINA
