populate the surface water of the world’s oceans where penetration of sunlight is abundant.

In spite of having a modest size, the diatoms are considered as one of the strongest resources in the world for carbon dioxide (CO
2) removal from the air. Now, they eliminate, or “fix,” 10 to 20 billion metric tons of CO
2 annually with the help of photosynthesis.
However, there is not much knowledge gained regarding which biological mechanisms are used by the diatoms, and if these processes may turn out to be less effective with increasing temperatures, ocean acidity, and especially CO
Versova-Lokhandwala bridge project will cause mangrove loss, say residents
MUMBAI: Supreme Court recently stayed cutting of mangroves for construction of a vehicular overbridge at the junction of Yari Road and Lokhandwala back road in Versova, Andheri.

These days, barricades and bulldozers obscure the view of Mumbaiâs Arabian Sea coastline. Signboards that read âconnecting people and placesâ watch over construction crews that have made good use of the pandemic lockdown to ramp up work on the ambitious Coastal Road project.
The 29-km road will link Marine Drive in the south to Kandivali in the north. The anticipated benefit? Reduction in travel time by about 70 percent in the second most
congested city in the world. Is the intended benefit worth the estimated cost in public resources, livelihoods, and environmental damage?
The project
comprises an eight-lane partly elevated road, a 2.31-km main bridge, a 13-km interchange bridge, a sea wall, and Indiaâs first undersea tunnel. About 68,000 vehicles are
