A study was undertaken to determine the physico-chemical parameters of water in different mangrove regions of Indian coast. Flora and faunas are living in that regions and it can provide wild life places for living and foraging. Physicochemical parameters are influence the species diversity, pattern of diversity, spawning, breeding and metabolic activities. The temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen and nutrients are the major master factors of coastal water ecosystem. These parameters are occurring optimum level for the survival of species and poor water quality can influence the species activities and patterns of behavior. However, the base line physico- chemical data is toward the further study of ecological and conservation of economically and they are living species diversity patterns.
