    India has enormous marine biodiversity potential along its long coastline but has not fully tapped into sustainable eco-tourism. The document proposes integrating aquaculture with mangrove forests and paddle sports to provide livelihoods for coastal communities while protecting the environment. It highlights successful models of this in India and compares India's more limited coastal tourism success to Thailand's thriving beach tourism industry, advocating developing more world-class coastal circuit facilities in India centered around conservation and native flora/fauna.
