Abstract
Abstract: In recent years, sea-borne terrorism has emerged as a significant security threat in coastal India. This paper evaluates the possibility of increased maritime terrorist violence in India by recounting and analysing some of the most recent past incidents in these waters. The weak strategic geographical locations always played a crucial role for the terrorist to entering the mainland. The features like Mangrove Forest, Salt Pan, Shallow Continental Shelf, and Backwaters can be the weakest strategical locations that are not properly safeguarded. The 1991 Rajiv Gandhi Assignation by LTTE and the 26/11 Mumbai Attack in 2008 are one of the significant Maritime Terrorism that happened in coastal India. India’s coastal and marine ecosystems include a wide range of mangroves, coral reefs, seagrasses, salt marshes, mud flats, estuaries, and lagoons which should be safeguarded appropriately for future consideration. The article explains how crime takes place in this isolated topography which has very low surveillance support and discusses how this topography can be safeguarded for futuristic purposes.
