The Sundarbans is a living delta where rivers meet the Bay of Bengal—shaped every day by tides, salinity, sediment, and storms. Its mangroves protect shorelines, support rich biodiversity, and act as vital nurseries for fish, crab, and shrimp—linking ecology directly to livelihoods. But the region is under increasing pressure from cyclones and storm surges, embankment failures, erosion, waterlogging, and rising salinity, intensified by climate change.
