Item Open Access Firki Ni Dori(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2023) Trivedi, Jahnvi; Gupta, Anirban Dutta; Desai, BinitaMakar Sankranti, a joyous and vibrant festival celebrated across India, brings together communities to embrace the spirit of unity, renewal, and cultural traditions. One prominent aspect of this festival is the age-old tradition of kite flying, where the sky is adorned with colourful kites soaring high. However, amidst the exhilaration of this tradition, a dark and concerning issue has recently emerged � bird injuries caused by the use of Chinese threads and glass-coated threads. Last few years, there have been more cases of Chinese thread being used for flying kites.This thesis aims to shed light on the distressing issue of bird injuries during Makar Sankranti due to using Chinese threads (manjha) and glass-coated threads (dori) in kite flying. This represents an effort to examine the underlying reasons for this issue, how it affects ecology and the environment, and possible solutions that might decrease the harm to bird species.This research uses a multidisciplinary approach to understand the situation comprehensively. It includes ecological studies, data analysis, and interviews with veterinarians, Jiv Daya Charitable Trust members, and other NGOs working on the subject. By investigating the historical context and cultural significance of kite flying during Makar Sankranti, the thesis will delve into the reasons behind the popularity of Chinese threads and glass-coated threads, exploring the factors that have led to their widespread use despite the associated risks. This thesis will also examine the ecological effects of bird injuries, including potential ecosystem imbalances, loss of avian biodiversity, and disturbance of migratory patterns. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of current initiatives made by governmental and non-governmental organizations to address this issue and will pinpoint any implementation gaps and difficulties.The findings of this study will help decision-makers make well-informed choices. They will aid in developing strategies and regulations that will increase awareness, encourage safe kite-flying, and ensure the conservation of bird species during this festive season. The results of this study can provide important light on the social, cultural, and ecological aspects of bird injuries brought on by kite flying during Makar Sankranti and how these injuries affect our environment and way of life.Item Open Access Swacch Indore : A view from the margins(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2023) Chandrayan, Vaishnavi; Jain, Muskan; Mazumdar, Madhumita; Gupta, Anirban DuttaThis study provides an in-depth examination of the lives of three Safai Mitras residing indifferent suburbs of Indore, India, to understand their experiences with the city's wastemanagement system. We are using visual documentation not through photography or film butthrough visual ethnography where we are using sketches where our Safai Mitras' privacy canbe maintained. to understand their experiences with the city's waste management system.Through a combination of interviews and observations, the study examines the constraints andchallenges that these individuals face in maintaining cleanliness and sustainability in theirneighbourhoods. Despite Indore's reputation as the cleanest city in India, the study revealssignificant gaps in the waste management system that require attention. The study highlightsthe need to address the neglect of marginalized communities and suburbs in wastemanagement initiatives, which can contribute to the unevenness of the system. The SwacchMitras' experiences provide a unique perspective on the impact of social and politicalmarginalization on waste management practices and highlight the need for targetedinterventions to address these issues. Overall, the study underscores the importance ofinclusive and equitable waste management practices and the need to prioritize the voices andexperiences of marginalized communities in efforts to improve sustainability and livability.Item Open Access Amma Ka Dabba : Informative Meal planner to promote nutrition(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2023) Vedula, Sri Gayathri; Kumawat, Kalyani; Desai, BinitaThe lunch box is not just a mere container for food. It is anexpression of love and care, particularly for mothers and theirchildren. Preparing and packing a lunch box can carry a rangeof cultural meanings and symbologies worth exploring ingreater detail.One way in which the lunch box can carry significance isthrough the foods that are chosen for it. Traditional dishes froma particular region or country can be included in the lunch box,helping maintain a sense of cultural identity and nutritivequality. In this way, the lunch box symbolises home and family,connecting parents and children even when they are apart.Beyond the food, how the lunch box is packed can also carrymeaning, emphasising nutrition and organisation. Carefullyarranged and packed lunch boxes can be seen as a reflection ofthese values.Accentuating the cultural significance of the lunch box canalso involve exploring the gendered dimensions of thispractice. The act of packing a lunch box is associated primarilywith mothers, who are expected to provide nourishing mealsfor their children, broader societal expectations around genderroles and the responsibilities of motherhood. A more nuancedunderstanding of the ways in which food and family intersectwith broader societal expectations and values.The items they prepare for lunch teach kids about their cultureand traditions, and eating meals with friends and classmates can help them feel more connected to one another and part ofthe community.The lunchbox is an additional opportunity for parents and otherindividuals who care for children to talk to them about nutritionand healthy eating habits. Parents may better help their kidsunderstand the need for a balanced diet and the value of a gooddinner by giving their kids healthful lunches and snacks.Better education on healthy food options and consumptionpractices is necessary to enhance the lunchbox experience forkids. Resources and educational materials on subjects likeportion control, the advantages of whole meals and freshproduce, and methods for persuading kids to try new, healthyfoods can be included in this.Additionally, providing advice and pointers for makingexciting and entertaining lunch box meals, such as usingcolourful fruits and vegetables, including protein-packedsnacks, and experimenting with various textures and flavours,might be beneficial. Children may be more likely to formfavourable associations with healthy foods and eating habits iflunchtime is pleasurable and exciting for them.In the end, the lunch box might hold various memories andcultural connotations, but it can also be a potent instrument forencouraging children's health and well-being. By givingparents and carers better information and assistance, we canensure that the lunch box remains sustenance and connectionfor future generations. Another multisensorial structure that appeals to all of oursenses is the lunch box. It communicates with our senses ofsight, touch, taste, smell, and sound. It is a tangible andengaging item. Each sensory encounter helps us appreciate andenjoy food more fully overall.From a visual standpoint, the lunch box can provide a varietyof hues, textures, and shapes that enhance the food's appeal.For instance, using vibrant fruits and vegetables can result inan aesthetically beautiful and filling dinner. A pleasing andcalming sense of order and structure can also be created bysetting the food inside the lunchbox.The lunch box offers a tactile sensation that appeals to oursense of touch. The texture and consistency of the food cansignificantly influence our enjoyment of the meal. For instance,crunchy foods like fruits and vegetables or soft and chewytreats like cookies can alter the feelings we feel in our mouthsand enhance our sensory experience.Another important aspect of our appreciation of food is oursense of smell. Our senses might be awakened, and ourappetites increased by the perfume of the food. We sometimeslook forward to lunch because of the aroma of new bread or afragrant fruit. The most evident sense experience connected tothe lunch box is taste. The various textures and fragrances ofthe meal can improve its flavour, resulting in a pleasurable andvaried sensory experience.Last but not least, the lunch box may produce sound. Thesound of crunching or chewing the food can be delightful and satisfying, as can the act of opening and closing the box, whichcan provide a satisfying clicking sound. Overall, the lunch boxis a multi sensorial design that appeals to all our senses andincreases how much we enjoy our food. We may design morerewarding and delightful eating experiences by payingattention to the lunch box's visual, tactile, olfactory, gustatory,and aural aspects.The product's outside packaging significantly influences kids'willingness to consume food. Packaging is frequently the firstaspect of the food that children notice, and it significantlyimpacts whether they choose to eat it or not.When selecting a food item, kids often give the visual appealmuch weight. Kids may find food more enticing and morelikely to consume it if it has vibrant colours, unique forms, andattractive designs. Because of this, many food businesses createtheir packaging with children in mind, employing cartooncharacters and other appealing graphics to catch their attention.The packaging, however, may also discourage children fromeating particular foods.The information on the container can also influence kids'decisions to eat the food. Kids may be more inclined to selecthealthier and more nutritious meals if the nutritionalinformation, such as the calorie count or the quantity of sugar,is displayed on the box. The packaging may also impactchildren's psychology. For instance, if a box prominentlyfeatures a particular brand or character a child dislikes, it mightdiscourage them from eating that product. Overall, their outer packaging can significantly influencewhether or not youngsters choose to consume food goods.Parents and food producers may encourage youngsters to makehealthier and more fun food choices by considering theaesthetic appeal, the information presented, and thepsychological consequences of packaging. As parents work toprepare wholesome meals while also considering theirchildren's tastes and preferences, food rules are frequently bentfor children in various ways. Here are a few typical instances:Vegetable concealment: Pureeing and incorporating them intosmoothies, soups, and sauces. This improves the food's flavourwhile ensuring that children receive the required nutrients.Giving children options: Giving children the ability to selectfrom various nutritious options will help them feel in controland create their eating preferences. Making food fun: Whenhealthy meals are presented to children in a playful andaesthetically pleasing manner, they are more inclined toconsume them. This can entail forming sandwiches intoamusing shapes using cookie cutters or arranging fruits andveggies into a vibrant rainbow. While it is essential to promotehealthy eating habits, it is also acceptable for kids to indulge intreats occasionally. This can help avoid deprived feelings andencourage a positive relationship with eating.Overall, bending the laws of nutrition for children can entailinnovative methods to make healthy foods more enticing whilestill allowing for occasional treats in moderation.Item Open Access Mental Health Matters(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2023) Das, Tanaya; Sharma, Preethi; Mazumdar, MadhumitaMental health is a major concern around the world, and India isnot far behind. When we look at developments in the field ofmental health, it appears that the pace is slow. According toexperts, Mental disorders affect 20% of young peopleworldwide. Only 7.3% of India's 365 million youth report suchissues. Although public stigma associated with mental healthproblems has a particular impact on young people seeking help,the extent of stigma among young people in India is unknown.Also, the language used to describe people suffering frommental health conditions in India is frequently negative andinsensitive. Such language contributes to the stigmatization ofmental health by reinforcing negative stereotypes. Language isone of the most powerful tools humans have, and it must beused with care when dealing with those who already feelmarginalized due to their mental health. Individuals withmental health issues are commonly referred to using terms suchas "pagal" and "paagalpan" (meaning "crazy"). Theconversation about mental health has grown in recent years,which is a good sign. Sadly, despite the growing buzz aboutmental health, the language being used is far from disabilityetiquette and lacks even basic sensitivity about how to describevarious mental health difficulties or the people who live withthem. These words not only contribute to the stigmasurrounding mental health, but also reinforce the notion thatpeople with mental illnesses are unpredictable, violent, anddangerous. Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individualrecognises his or her own abilities, can cope with normal lifestresses, can work productively, and can contribute to his or hercommunity. There are numerous mental illnesses, such asdepression, suicidal ideation, bipolar disorder, autism spectrumdisorder (ASD), anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, and others, allof which can have a negative impact on an individual'sphysical health and well-being.Some of the barriers to mental health research in India includea lack of adequate mental health professionals (MHPs),insufficient funding, insufficient research trainingopportunities, and the government's low priority for mentalhealth.The goal of this project is to illustrate how language is used todescribe people with mental illnesses suffer and how languagecreates stigma in mental health. As barriers exist in society, thestigma restricts one's ability to open up to others.Item Open Access Aankh Micholi : Mapping The Spatial Practices and Visual Identity of The Non-Vegetarianism in The City of Ahmedabad, Gujarat(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2023) Raval, Rushi; Pandya, Vishvajit; Mazumdar, MadhumitaSince the beginning, Gujarat is widely considered by most people as a Vegetarian state. No matter what the facts and figures suggest about the rapid increase of the meat-consumption in Gujarat, the Vegetarian state image is still etched inside people�s mind even today.Meat-consumption and Meat-consumers have frequently faced backlashes from the Authorities as well as residents of Gujarat. The trip to any of the Gujarat�s metro city or rural village will yield the different story regarding people�s food habits, but due to the prevailing Mahajan influence on the Gujarat�s political and cultural canvas, Gujarat enjoys the image of being the most Ahimsak state of India. When one talks about Gujarat, one seldom talks about its traditional meat-dishes. For most people, Gujaratis are people who indulge in the tastes of Khakhra, Khaman, Dhokla and Fafda-Jalebi only!It is a matter of great surprise that how can a state which boasts the largest shoreline of the country can still maintain the status of being a Vegetarian state for this long! In the field work, I have observed that the non-vegetarian eateries are present in large number in few areas of the city and they have the regular flow of customers as well. Their visual identities also show different patterns, which respond the areas in which the eateries are located. The outlets have found safe locales for their survival and they announce their presence in very subtle yet, affective day. This work is an effort to understand these spatial practices and the relation of the visual identity of these non-vegetarian outlets. As the place changes, the visual identity elements of the shop changes as well. They have to constantly change their visuals according to the demand of the context and the project tries to convey this narration through the help of maps and images. The maps are chosen since the story has complex layers of spatial practices and in order to link the visual with the location, an interactive format of the map is required.The narration is an amalgam of the maps, images and text to study the phenomenon by mapping the spatial practices and understanding the visual identities of the non-veg eateries in the case of Ahmedabad, Gujarat.Item Open Access Victoria Park : An Urban Oasis, An Informative & Interactive Website(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2023) Bhatt, Devarshi; Desai, NikitaLocated in Gujarat state's Bhavnagar city, Victoria Park is a reserved forest range that was created by Maharaja Takhtasinhji of Bhavnagar in 1888. The park, which is spread over an area of 500 acres, has a triangular shape and is bounded by roads on all three sides. This man-made forest is one of India's oldest and is maintained by the Forest Department, Government of India. It is home to numerous rare flora and fauna species, including over 100 fauna species and 422 flora species consisting of 350 dicots and the remaining monocots, 241 herbs, 75 shrubs, and over 80 tree species. With 57.11 percent of its vegetation consisting of herbs and 16.35 percent of trees, Victoria Park offers a green space to the city's residents and is home to antelopes, hyenas, and foxes. Additionally, the park features two water bodies: Krishna Kunj Lake, which is located within the park, and Gaurishankar Lake, which is situated outside the park. These lakes attract numerous migratory birds such as Bar Headed Goose, Northern Pintail, Rain Quail, Baillon's Crake, Pacific Golden Plover & many more each year.Item Open Access PURAMPOKKU : The changing interface and role of land and water has put the poor of the city in the path of the Flood and Drought(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2023) Tamllselvan, Koushlkram; Mazumdar, Madhumita; Pandya, VishvajitCartographic storytelling is a relatively new format in which data and information are presented in a way that leads the audience from one piece of information to the next as they travel through a story. In this format, The information itself acts as a character within the story, guiding the audience through a journey of discovery and enlightenment. This project seeks to investigate and understand the fundamental nature of information analysis and data crunching from the perspective of communication design, exploring how information can be transformed from mere visual representation to actionable information that prompts specific actions. The inspiration for this project came from the devastating floods that hit the Indian city of Chennai in 2015. In the aftermath of the disaster, historical and contemporary maps of the city were circulated in major periodicals and on social media, highlighting the fact that several areas of the city had been built over marshes, lakes, or storage tanks that were at risk of flooding. While these maps provided useful information, they merely reported on the event and did not tell a larger story. A map, when arranged in a sequence, can combine a series of events to tell a story. In this project, the collected data on urban disasters and their contributors over the years would paint a unique picture of Chennai's disasters over time. The aim was to paint a macro picture of the given scenario and to understand the impact of people on disasters and disasters on people, communicating it through cartographic storytelling that would reveal the hidden causes behind Chennai's droughts and floods. The literature study deduced that unplanned urbanization and improper planning of urban development over the years, encroachment of wetlands, river basins, and water catchment areas, and insufficient stormwater drainage network were major reasons for the occurrence of floods and droughts in the city. However, apart from other factors that contribute to the problem, looking at it as merely an urban planning issue and a building-over-water-bodies problem would only give a bird's eye view of the problem, This project aims at looking at the disaster in social and cultural contexts . This cartographic story tried to tell that Chennai's disasters are far more complicated phenomena, and their social and contextual significance could only be understood when they are studied concerning people living in the city. Purampokku Land When we Bring all this data together it reveals to us that the land ownership plays a crucial role in chennai's disaster. We often point out that its the encroachments that affects the water bodies and it leads to flood and drought. but through mapping of peoples movements over time we have understood that these encroachments by slum dwellers are because of their inability to have ownership over land and the only piece of land that they found in the city was purampokku land that was next to flood basin. So the encroachers are poor of the city and are put in the path of flood To begin the process of cartographic storytelling, a thorough analysis of the data was carried out to understand the patterns and trends over time. The data included information on rainfall, water levels, population growth, and other relevant factors. The data was then visualized in a way that would help to tell the story of Chennai's disasters. The first step was to create a map of the city that highlighted the areas most prone to flooding and drought. This map was designed to show the impact of these disasters on the city and its people. The map was then broken down into smaller sections, each with its own set of data and analysis. The second step was to create a timeline that showed the occurrence of floods and droughts over time.This timeline was used to highlight the patterns and trends that emerged fromthe data. Itwas also used to illustrate the impact ofpopulationgrowth and urbanization on the frequency and severity of these disasters.The third step was to create a series of maps that showed the changes in the city's landscape and land patterns over time. These maps were used to illustrate the impact of urbanization and encroachment on wetlands, river basins, and water catchment areas.They were also used to show how the city's infrastructure had developed over time, particularly its stormwater drainage network, they also inform us about the unique land policy system existing in the Dravidian cultureThe final step was to bring all of this information together in a single cartographic story that would lead the audience from one piece of information to the next.The story was designed to be both informative and engaging, using a combination of visual and textual elements to convey the key messages.The cartographic story highlighted the fact that Chennai's disasters are not simply the result of natural events,but rather a complex interplay of human actions and natural processes. The story revealed that the city's population had grownexponentially over the years, putting pressure on the natural resources and infrastructure of the city. Unplanned urbanization and the encroachment of wetlands, river basins, and water catchment areas had disrupted the natural water cycle, resulting in floods and droughts.The story also highlighted the fact that the city's stormwaterdrainage network was inadequate and poorly maintained, exacerbating the impact of floods.The cartographic story showed how these factors had contributed to a series of disasters in the city, including the devastating floods of 2015.However, the story also revealed that there were solutions to these problems.The story suggested that a comprehensive approach to urban planning and development was needed, one that took into account the needs of both people and the environment. development of robust and efficient infrastructure to cope with the impacts of natural disasters.Overall, the cartographic story ofChennai's disasters showed the power of storytelling as a tool for understanding complex issues and communicating important messages.It demonstrated that cartographic storytelling can be used not only to inform but also to inspire action and change.By presenting data and information in a way that engages and captivates the audience, cartographic storytelling can help to drive meaningful change and create a better future for all.Item Open Access Green Magic : A Gardening Kit for Kids(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2023) Patel, Dhwani; Desai, BinitaThe earth's climate is rapidly changing due to various human activities, including deforestation, fossil fuel burning, and industrial activities. These changes have caused significant environmental problems such as global warming, sea level rise, and extreme weather events. The condition is even worse in urban cities because of the shrinking of green space due to a significant increase in the demand for housing and infrastructure. In this context, there is an urgent need to promote sustainable lifestyles and encourage people to adopt environmentally friendly practices. Many designers and architects have been exploring innovative ways to integrate greenery into the built environment. One of the ways to tackle climate change is by promoting gardening and encouraging people to grow their plants and vegetables. Gardening has numerous benefits, such as reducing the carbon footprint, improving air quality, enhancing biodiversity, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and reducing the urban heat island effect. Gardening can also be fun and engaging for children, as they can learn about plants, insects, and the natural world. This project aims to develop an interactive gardening kit that will facilitate children to generate their interest in gardening and make them experience nature closely. It also helps to teach children about sustainability. The project will also address the various challenges children face when it comes to gardening, such as limited space, lack of access to soil and water, and the need for maintenance and care while away from the garden. The kit will solve these challenges by using innovative approaches such as creating a small-scale garden using recycled materials, providing organic alternatives to chemical fertilisers and pesticides, and teaching children about composting. Overall, the project aims to generate interest in gardening among children and promote sustainable practices with an engaging and enjoyable experience that can help mitigate the impact of climate change. By introducing children to gardening, we hope to inspire them to become environmentally conscious and responsible individuals who care about the planet.Item Open Access Lost Forests of Braj(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2023) Singh, Nehal; Pandya, VishvajitGovardhan is a small pilgrimage town in India, situated in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh. This town is located along a hill which, according to the local folklore, is regarded as the sacred heart of Braj Mandala.Govardhan Hill is a mountain deity known as Giriraj, manifested by Lord Krishna himself. According to the local legend and Puranic literature Krishna used to take shelter in Govardhan and venture into the vast forests of Braj, rearing his cows and cattle. Since Govardhan provided the Brajvasis with all the basic livelihood necessities like water, shelter, various fruits, and green grass for the cattle, Krishna asked the Brajvasis to worship Govardhan, despite Indra. Because of this manifestation, Govardhan is still revered as a mountain deity.According to the sacred Hindu text Skanda Purana, the whole region of Braj, along with the foothill of the mountain, was principally an accumulation of 12 forests or mahavan, 24 gardens or upvan, around 50 ponds known as kunds, and various other leelastals of Lord Krishna.During the 11th century, C.E. Govardhan and Vrindavan were regarded as the most important pilgrimage sites, and Mathura was the Capital of Braj Mandala. It was a flourishing spiritual hub of the 11th century where forests were the most crucial aspect of Bhakti and the sacred ritual of the '84 kos Braj van yatra.'Braj lost its spiritual essence in the turmoil of Mughal invasions between the 11th and 15th centuries until it was again found by a Bengali Saint, Chaitanya, in 1515. In the initial years, the followers of Chaitanya and his other contemporaries like Vallabhacharya and Hit Harivanshrai started developing various philosophies of Bhakti and further founded different new sects of Vaishwanism.Today Vaishnavism is spread worldwide, attracting an influx of devotees from across the globe. The final product intends to raise the central question of when this polarization in devotion happened? Until the late 1700s, the 12 forests of Braj were revered and circumambulator as sacred forms of divinity, but in the wake of the Industrial Revolution and unplanned development Braj first lost its 12 sacred forests. Yamuna was polluted, and the holy dust of Braj was lost under a concrete blanket. These natural elements, such as Govardhan, Vrindavan, and Yamuna, have lost their imagined spiritual essence.Vrindavan is regarded as a place where spring or basant ritu resides forever. But the final product will raise the concern of how the sacred forests of Vrindavan were replaced with a concrete van.Almost nothing remains among the 12 sacred forests of Braj. Govardhan Forest has a story that the final product will deliver to the viewers.Throughout history, many concerned Brajvasis have raised their voice against the destruction happening to the natural heritage of Braj Mandal. Baba Sevak Saran, along with Shrivatsa Goswami and Ranchor Prime, conceded friends of Vrindavana, an independent body fighting to restore the sacred essence of Braj. They even gained the support of WWF but failed to save the forests of Vrindavan from inevitable destruction.The forests of Govardhan were also lost to the wrath of Urbanization during the 90s, but today slowly-slowly, these forests are regrowing back. There are around 6 hectares of reserved forest in the foothill of Govardhan. The spiritual forefront there is trying to revive the forest, but on the other hand, land mafias have started choaking the Govardhan hill from all 4 sides. The final product focuses on the existing state of the forest and tries to compare it with the imagined landscape depicted in the classical Pahari Miniature paintings, and presents a stark contrast of reality.Reviving the tangible and intangible ecology of a culturally imagined space in the middle of a developing pilgrimage town is difficult; such efforts in Govardhan are also ineffective.Item Open Access Facing the Sea : The Vanishing Shores of South Kerala(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, 2023) Harikrishnan, V.S.; Mazumdar, Madhumita; Gupta, Anirban DuttaEvery beach has a story to tell. From the footprints left behind on its shores to the memories, we make there, it is a place where tales of love, friendship, happiness, comfort, and misery intertwine. It is a universal space that symbolizes relaxation, adventure, and fun. A place where people come to escape reality, make unforgettable memories, and share moments with their loved ones. Sadly, as coastal erosion continues to affect coastlines worldwide, these stories and along with lives in them may one day come to an end. As the gradual erosion of coastlines causes the beaches to slowly disappear, the existence of this paradise is severely threatened.Coastal erosion is the natural process of washing away land by the sea caused by tides and waves. And while it is part of a seasonal activity that causes beaches to accrete, recede, and recover over time, the truth of the matter at hand is that the beaches are slowly disappearing and have stopped coming back like they used to. As the sea rises and eats away the shores, despite the negative impact of coastal erosion, some people take nature for granted as it is also human nature to overlook the value of things until they are truly gone. With the effects of rising sea levels and the construction of sea structures protruding into the sea, the coastlines are severely affected only with a little hope left for a full recovery. As a result, several coastlines and beaches are slowly disappearing. The effects of coastal erosion can be devastating, as it leads to the loss of beaches, wetlands, and other crucial habitats that are home to a wide range of marine species. The effects of coastal erosion are also felt by humans, as it can cause damage to coastal infrastructure, homes, and businesses. Coastal erosion can also lead to significant economic losses for communities that rely on tourism. Therefore, the consequences of coastal erosion are severe, and raising awareness about this issue is essential to protect our coastal communities. This report dives into the importance of preserving our coastlines and the stories they hold. We explore the impact of coastal erosion and how it has affected the livelihood of a community. The goal is to raise awareness about coastal erosion and inspire individuals, communities, and policymakers to take action to preserve our coastlines for future generations.
