Since historical times, this portion of the coast (Palk Bay, Adam's Bridge) is used only to fleets of small crafts involved in coastal trading and fishing

Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project, when completed, will transform parts of the southern coromandal coast qualitatively. Since historical times, this portion of the coast (Palk Bay, Adam's Bridge) is used only to fleets of small crafts involved in coastal trading and fishing. Sethu Canal will transform this into a coast that shall start witnessing fleets of large vessels involved in overseas trading pass by.

Is the idea that a navigational channel in the Adam's Bridge-Palk Bay area can be dredged without any major hazard, based on a correct knowledge base? What are the environmental factors that might have the capacity to make this idea a failure? What are the actions that would be required to increase the chances of physical stability of the proposed channel?

These are the questions this monograph seeks to address.
