    Abstract
    To examine the influence of anthropogenic activities on the marine ecosystem near the coastal waters of the port city, Kakinada, a study was conducted to investigate the abundance of heterotrophic, indicator and pathogenic bacteria during the spring inter monsoon (SIM) and southwest monsoon (SWM) seasons. A drastic change in the marine bacteria due to the input of allochthonous bacteria during SWM was noticed. An order of magnitude higher abundance of indicators (Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis) and bacterial pathogens (Proteus mirabilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) was observed during SWM. In contrast, Chlorophyll-a, heterotrophic bacterial abundance, Aeromonas hydrophila and Klebsiella pneumoniae were higher during SIM. A significant increase in some of the indicator and pathogenic bacterial abundance due to moderate rainfall suggests that the improper drainage system in the city could spread these bacteria, posing a considerable threat to both environment and human health
