    Abstract
    The coastal zone of Goa had been exclusively used for agriculture, farming, shell fishing, traditional fishing and low key recreation. Native Goans used the shoreline and the hinterland water bodies to fish by using hand-cast and hand-pullded nets, gather shells for economic and various other purposes. Ever since tourism was declared a potential revenus earner, the coastal scenario started changing. Coastal communities have experienced a rapid growth of structures such as high rise buildings, resorts, residential dwellings, commercial establishments, beach-side bars that mushroomed almost everywhere along the shores. Some of the coastal strips are now overdeveloped in such a manner that they bear little resemblance to the coast that existed prior to development. Tourism and related anthropogenic activities are prominent in the state of Goa. This paper describes the state of coastal environment with reference to human intervention on coastal systems.
