The project will implement an integrated Soil-Water-Biota Management (ISWBM) promoting community participation in sustainable development. A participatory approach will be followed to document local resources and its utilization including biodiversity assessment, valuable traditional knowledge systems & culture at village level for ensuring the process of sustainable use establishing a replicable model of sustainable livelihoods along with its future management plan.

The model developed through the project, i.e. integrated farming on coastal saline zone using harvested rain water and non-farm freshwater and coastal brackish water fisheries resources on the one hand and the skill development of the community through different capacity building exercised through the project on the other hand could be potentially replicated at other coastal saline zones or mangrove areas in India.
