Marine pollution, caused by oil spills, plastic waste, and other contaminants, has become a growing concern for Lakshadweep’s pristine environment. The Lakshadweep Police have launched comprehensive investigations into incidents of marine pollution, working with environmental agencies to trace the source of pollutants and hold perpetrators accountable. Their role includes conducting investigations, gathering evidence, and working closely with the Coast Guard to prevent further damage.
In addition to enforcement, the police play a key role in promoting awareness about the dangers of marine pollution. They conduct community outreach programs to educate islanders on the importance of keeping the seas clean and safe. The collaborative efforts of the police, local communities, and environmental organizations are critical to ensuring the long-term protection of Lakshadweep’s fragile marine ecosystem.
