This book focuses on understanding the shoreline dynamics,
nearshore processes and sediment transport around Rameswaram Island
and the cities of Dhanushkodi and Arichamunai. Rameswaram Island is
located between the Gulf of Mannar on the south and Palk Bay on the
north, between the southern tip of India and Sri Lanka, and is
unique in terms of physical, chemical and biological processes. The
Gulf of Mannar is established as a marine biodiversity conservation
area by its richness of variety and variability of marine species
such as corals, finfish, shellfish and other fishes. The island is
predominantly influenced by four seasons: northeast monsoon,
post-monsoon, summer and southwest monsoon; and the
sedimentological and hydrodynamic conditions significantly change
seasonally, resulting in the island's responding in a different
manner with each season. It also explains the physical forces and
their impacts around these areas. Rameswaram Island has existed
naturally for a long period of time even under the influence of
different water masses of the Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay.
Understanding the regional natural phenomena is the only solution
to carry out the best management practices to develop coastal
constructions and modifications.
