Abstract

Wetlands are playing an important role in sustaining human health and wellbeing. They support food production, water treatment and water supply, flood control, fishing, recreation, and wildlife habitat. But wetland areas are shrinking very fast all over the world due to the rapid growth of urbanisation. In devepoing countries, the destruction of the wetlands is widely observed. In India, the wetlands area, size, and number are declinging very fast due to population growth and urbanisation. Mumbai Metropolitan Region is not an exception to this phenomenon. The wetland area is significantly declining in all suburbs of region over the period of time. State government should come out with future plans, legislation, and co-ordination among various bodies and NGOs to protect wetlands in region. The protection and scientific conservation of wetlands will improve wetlands-related services and health of the people in the region.
