Can Coastal Road and Mumbai be saved from raging sea waves?
The coastal road and, alternatively, the sea wall protecting Mumbai have been modeled after studies in Sri Lanka and France. Natural reefs have been chosen to enhance marine biodiversity while constructing sea walls. Techniques used to reduce the impact of sea waves were used in the construction of sea walls. The National Institute of Oceanography, a system for studying the sea, has set up a system to study the effect of the coastal road work on the sea, sea temperature, wave pattern, turbidity in the sea of Mumbai . Every six months a report is given to the government by this system. Therefore, the system can get notification of upcoming dangers in the sea.
