Mangaluru: Although the impact of sea level increases will be felt throughout the world, the coastal city of Mangaluru seems to be better than Mumbai and Kerala on the west coast of India.
The effect will be clearer and faster in the northern part of the west coast, which includes Mumbai, than the southern part, which includes mangaluru.
This is in accordance with research papers published by the marine geologist, Mangalore University, three decades return.
It predicts the northern part of the West Coast is characterized by extensive tidal flats and flat mud deposits that indicate immersion, while the data gauge tide strengthens higher soil around Mangaluru, relative to Mumbai and Kochi.
Despite research by B R.
Manjunatha and R Shankar from the Department of Geology Marine is on the ‘factors that control the sedimentation rate along the Indian West Continental Shelf,’ he offers a reasonable result of the impact of sea level rises.
R Shankar, Members, International Geological Union Commission on Geological Education, Training and Technology Transportation (IUPS-Coge), told TOI from a soil increase because sedimentation can delay the unavoidable thing here.
The paper note suspended of particle concentration (SPM) in the river river region is significantly lower than the northern region.
For example, the SPM in Nethravati and the Gurpur River each is 53.9 and 52.3 mg / I, is about two measurable sequences lower than those in Narmada and Tapti Rivers.
“Global warming because dangerous emissions do not only melt ice clects, but also expand sea water, contribute to the increase in temperature and rise at sea level.
In this West coast, the deposition of low sediments along the coast of Mangaluru at 0.7 mm / year, compared With 2.6 mm / year from karwar and 2.5 mm / year from Mumbai.
Over time, sustainable sedimentation in water and additional weight causes subsidence or sinking, ” said Shankar.
“We have done damage and the results are visible.
“He recommends four R, refusing, reducing, reusing and recycling, applied to five types of resources, water, fuel, food, strength and metal to be postponed wisely, to delay it cannot be avoided.
However, the effects of sea rise due to increased temperatures will have far influence on the livelihood of fishermen and sea resources.
This policy by e vivekanandan from the Central Sea Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) in the ‘Climate Change and Indian Sea Fisheries,’ publishes a decade back, noted that depending on marine species, the area occupied can develop, shrink or removed.
“It will cause an increase, reduced and shifted in the distribution of marine fish, with several regions that benefit while others will lose,” showing climate change and sea level rise will have a profound impact on the fishing community and its resources, apart from the impact on Mangrove and creating an environment, especially matches the dangerous algae bloom.
