Abstract: This book investigates the conflict between industrial development and environmental conservation along the Nhava and Sheva coastline in Navi Mumbai. It focuses on the effects of oil exploration, port expansion, and shipping on local ecosystems and communities. Key stakeholders, including ONGC, the Shipping Ministry, and port authorities, are examined for their roles in balancing economic growth with environmental protection. The study highlights challenges such as personal and institutional pressures, enforcement of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) rules, and land-use policies. Through case studies and detailed analysis, it emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable coastal management in this vital region.
