The western coast of India is located between Kerala and Gujarat and extends from the Arabian Sea to the Western Ghats. Its total length is 1400 km, its width ranges from 10 km to 80 km, and the elevation ranges from 150 m to 300 m above sea level. It is characterised by sandy beaches, mud-flats, sand-dunes, alluvial tracts, estuaries, lagoons, residual hills and more.
