- A recent study warns that rising sea levels could result in the loss of thousands of hectares of mangrove cover in Tamil Nadu’s Pichavaram and Muthupet regions.
- Up to 2,382 hectares of mangrove forest in the Muthupet region and 413 hectares in Pichavaram could be submerged by 2100 due to sea level rise.
- The study estimates that the loss of these coastal forests would result in the release of 2.24 Tg (teragram) of carbon from the Muthupet and Pichavaram regions, contributing to climate change.
