| Abstract: | Present study reports the spatial and temporal variations of the seawater
quality from five major shores along the South Saurashtra coastline (India). The
results suggested normal range of physical, chemical and biological
characteristics in the samples of Dwarka and Mangrol as these coasts are not
affected by any apparent anthropogenic effects of any kind. The results also
suggested considerable anthropogenic load to the coastal waters of three other
shores studied where moderate to high degree of industrial activities existed. Results
of the present study revealed that the spatio-temporal variations of water
quality parameters were considerably affected by anthropogenic impacts at
Veraval, moderately at Kodinar and somewhat lesser degree at Diu. |
