Abstract

Coastal ecosystems, encompassing various habitats such as mangroves, coral reefs, beaches, cliffs, lagoons, and estuaries, are vital for the diversity of life. Mollusks, belonging to the phylum Mollusca in the animal kingdom, play a significant role in coastal ecosystems. They serve as important members of the food chain and exhibit remarkable ecological adaptations to various habitats. This research aims to investigate the diversity of mollusks at Kelwa and Shirgaon beaches in Palghar district, Maharashtra. The study will reveal the molluscan diversity at these specific locations, providing insights into their biological classification through systematic arrangement and accompanying shell photographs.
