Thane Creek

Thane City is situated on the side of Thane Creek where many boats are used for fishing. Mostly Sand are removed from the banks of Thane Creek. During monsoon Thane Creek looks serene with mountains on background. But the waters of Thane Creek is polluted as it acts as a drain of city and also many people throw puja materials, etc in it. 

Acres of farms are being made by destroying the mangroves. Urban encroachment, sand mining, disposal of sewages, polluted waters are killing Mangroves. Lots of mangroves are destroyed by such incidents. No one follows the CRZ rules. 

Thane city is rich in natural diversity. But its getting exploited. From hills to creek everything is slowly dying. Palaentologica records showing mangroves in Mumbai go back to 40,000 years. 23 of the total 97 species of mangroves in India are found here itself. 

Gov plays no role in conserving such treasures neither the people understand their responsibility. Earlier the banks of Thane creek were gifted with population of mangroves. Now only a thin strip has left.
