The Western Coastal Plains is a strip of coastal plain 50 kilometres in width between the west coast of India and the Western Ghats hills, which starts near the south of the Tapi River. The plains are located between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. The plains begin at Gujarat in the north and end at Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, the southern tip of peninsular India. It includes the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, and a small part of Tamil Nadu. The region consists of three sections: the northern part of the coast is called the Konkan, the central stretch is called the Kanara or the "Karavali", while the southern stretch is referred to as the Malabar Coast. On its northern side there are two gulfs: the Gulf of Khambat and the Gulf of Kutch. The rivers along the coast form estuaries and provide conditions ideal for pisciculture. Because of the presence of less coastal land in this part, it will be affected more by the global warming.
