Title
ROLE OF MANGROVE BIOMASS IN NUMERICAL WAVE MODELS FOR REDUCING COASTAL VULNERABILITY IN THE ESTUARIES OF INDIAN SUNDARBANS
Abstract
The Indian Sundarbans at the apex of Bay of Bengal is exposed to several vulnerabilities associated with climate change which primarily include sea level rise, salinification, cyclonic depressions, tidal surges, wave actions and erosions. Mangroves are widely distributed in all the islands of Indian Sundarbans, whose biomass and branching are functions of salinity and substratum characteristics. They act as the line of defense against these vulnerabilities. Salinity plays a crucial role in regulating the mangrove characteristics preferably the biomass. The present paper is a first order analysis on the role of dominant mangroves in reducing wave related vulnerabilities along two major estuaries of Indian Sundarbans namely the Hooghly estuary and the Matla estuary, which have significantly contrasting salinities. The biomass and growth of mangrove along the Hooghly estuarine complex is relatively higher compared to the mangroves thriving along the mudflats of Matla estuary. In this paper, the wave attenuation potential of four dominant mangrove species have been studied for these two major estuaries considering the relevant input parameters in two seasons namely monsoon (in the month of July, 2018) and postmonsoon (in the month of November 2018).
Key Words
