The book tries to analyse India’s reference to marine environment. India with its long coastline and twenty five percent of its population living in the coastal areas is a party to many international conventions to protect the marine and coastal environment over the past two decades. India has attempted to provide some constructive leadership on international environment policy. Among South Asian nations, India, particularly has taken the cognizance of the dangers inherent in growing ecological deterioration and has taken steps to initiate measures at national as well as international levels to arrest, reduce and rectify marine pollution.
