The Coastal Hazard problems and their solutions and the discussion on Tsunamis will create interest amongst researchers in related field. The Coral Reefs and different aspects of the Lakshadweep will enrich all readers on these remote atolls . The evidences of sea level changes from different types of work will help scientists to work on similar lines. The details on geotechnical aspects of continental shelves, coastal hazards and laws of the Sea with concept of legal continental shelf are new additions to a book of Marine Geology. The future trend suggested at the end will be a useful guide for all researchers. Detail of references provided at the end is exhaustive.
