Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems have attracted immense attention because of their unique ability to withstand and protect the fragile coastal ecosystem by supplying diverse ecosystem services in the warming world. To appropriately understand and predict the plausible alternative futures of mangroves in India, it is pertinent to understand the potential drivers of mangrove loss. The chapter focuses on the second most diverse mangrove patches in India Bhitarkanika and Mahanadi delta in Odisha. Changes in the local mangroves can help to understand the magnitude, trends, drivers, and scenarios of long-term changes. The present chapter provides a broader overview of direct and indirect drivers that have substantially affected the long-term protection, functioning, and restoration of mangroves. The chapter presents a critical review to understand key knowledge gaps and constraining conditions that have affected the conservation of mangroves in the region. An exponential increase in population, immigration, aquaculture ponds, infrastructure development, and poor socioeconomic condition of locals followed by increasing frequency of cyclones are key drivers. Improving interactive governance approaches and opportunities for locals in evidence-based decision-making, including their livelihood concerns, can improve conservation efforts. Sensitive coastal zone in the region should be declared as a “no-go zone” for large-scale industrial and developmental projects that significantly affect coastal and marine ecosystems. The chapter highlights the implications of mangrove vulnerability and prospects for resilience for Bhitarkanika and Mahanadi Delta and argues ensuring the unrestricted flow of ecosystem services from the coupled socio-ecological system that can be ensured by a comprehensive understanding of the bidirectional linkages of ecosystems and arrangement of anthropogenic drivers of loss.
