Mahim Bay: a polluted environment of Bombay
Distribution of the marine life in relation to the extent of pollution at and outside Mahim Bay was studied. A poor marine fauna at stations A and B was associated with a relatively high intensity of pollution accompanied by high BOD and nutrients and low DO levels. A distinct deterioration in the marine life and water quality along the northern part of the bay as compared to the southern part was evident. An increasing trend in the marine fauna with decreasing intensity of pollution from inside to outside the bay was noticed.
