Abstract
Coastal ecosystems are vital areas that support a wide variety of life and provide important services like climate regulation, fisheries, and shoreline protection. However, they face increasing threats from human activities such as uncontrolled coastal development, pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. This paper looks at the legal measures taken in India to conserve biodiversity in coastal ecosystems and evaluates how effective the laws and judicial actions are. It examines important laws such as the Environment (Protection) Act of 1986, the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notifications, and the Biological Diversity Act of 2002 within the context of coastal governance. The study analyzes how the Indian judiciary has expanded environmental law, especially through public interest litigation and the use of precautionary and public trust principles, to see how it affects biodiversity protection. It also identifies gaps in enforcement, coordination among regulatory agencies, and community involvement. By combining legal analysis with perspectives on environmental policy, this research suggests a more unified, science-based, and participatory legal approach to enhance biodiversity conservation in coastal areas, ensuring long-term ecological health and socio-economic well-being.
Keywords
