Gulf of Kachchh II. Description of Site i. Geographic location The Gulf of Kachchh is an indentation in the Saurashtra Peninsula of the western coast of India, aligned approximately in the east-west direction (Figure 1). Water depth in the Gulf ranges from 15 to 55m and the deeper areas occurs in the axial part along east west. The Gulf lies between latitudes 22" 15'N to 23"N and longitudes 69"E to 70"35'E. At seaward (western), it is 70 km wide from where it tapers gradually eastwards, extending for nearly 170 km and has an area of 7350 km'. The southern shores of the Gulf area are marked by a low-level coastal plain with indentations, deep inlets and a large number of river openings. In the southern region, an area of 457.92 km' that includes 42 islands is managed under Marine National Park & Sanctuary.

FIgure 1 : The Gulf 01 Kacbchh Msp. 2 f Numerous live and dead corals with their reefs, islands and extensive mudflats fringe the southern coast. In contrast, the northern coast is fringed by tidal flat only. Entire coast in the west of Kachchh, including the network of Kori creek has e~ensive mudflats. Out of 42 islands, 33 have coral reefs. The intertidal coral reefs on islands and the coastal zone in Jamnagar are either degraded or dead, 20 to 30% coral reef area is live in the intertidal zone (SAC Report, 1994). Majority of the coast in Kachchh and Jamnagar are occupied by Prosopis chilensis. Thorny scrub forests occur on the coast of Jamnagar and also on some of the islands. About 100 km towards northwest of the Gulf of Kachchh is located the opening of the Indus river, discharging an annual suspended load of over 400 million tones. Some of the suspended sediments are transported towards south-east direction into the Gulf of Kachchh where the sediments are in transit under the action of the high speed of the currents. The Gulf of Kachchh is a terrestrial ecosystem but it is a part of biogeographical zone 'coasts'. As per biogeographical classification by the WII, Dehradun, the Park and Sanctuary area lies in the biotic province 'SA-WestCoast'. The Gulf areas is located between the terrestrial biotic provinces of semi arid - 4B Gujarat-Rajwara and Desert-3 Kachchh. Distribution of area under various categories/eco-systems are indicated as under:
