Muthupet Lagoon is located at the southern end of the Cauvery river delta on the Bay of Bengal, covering an area of approximately 6,803.01 ha of which only 4% is occupied by well-grown mangroves. The rivers Pamaniyar, Koraiyar, Kilaithankiyar, Marakkakoraiyar and other tributaries of the Cauvery flow through the area and adjacent villages. At the tail end, they form a lagoon before meeting the sea. The northern and western borders of the lagoon are occupied by muddy, silty ground, which is devoid of mangroves. The mangroves beyond the lagoon are found intermittently along the shore and extend up to Point Calimere. The mangrove forest was under the control of Chatram Department from 1853 to 1912.

The Government declared the Muthupet mangrove forest as a revenue forest in February 1937 and accordingly the mangrove forest was handed over to the forest department of the Madras Presidency.
