    Abstract
    Cochin backwaters, along the south west coast of India have been altered several times for various causes and the system has undergone tremendous environmental changes as a consequence developmental activities and associated human interference. Alterations to similar systems used as major ports and harbours are common, but associated physical and ecological repercussions investigated here were found to outweigh the benefits. As the trends that have emerged from this analysis alarmingly resemble to those in more 'developed' similar ecosystems worldwide and recognizing the importance of the significant role played in the socio-economic aspects of the region, it is emphasised that investigations with a thrust on modern sediment budget techniques only will accelerate contemporary management strategies.
