Abstract: 

Our work is a contribution to assessing the health of the marine ecosystem of Kulasekaranpattinam, which is not yet studied .Two samplings campaigns were conducted during January- March 2018 in onshore and offshore. Kulasekaranpattinam is a very good tourist place in Tamil Nadu. A systematic study has been carried out to analyze the physic-chemical characters through the standard protocol suggested by APHA. Statistical analyses such as Pearson correlation matrix and Regression analysis were performed to the data set to know the relationship among the studied parameters. pH and nitrate were maximum in the onshore, while the parameters such as turbidity, salinity and phosphate were maximum in the offshore. Our study highlighted the strengthening of the surveillance of the coast in the framework of a monitoring strategy and effective protection on the marine ecosystem.
