awareness about the vital role mangroves play in coastal ecosystems and their
significance in maintaining ecological balance.

Dr. Madhale emphasized the importance of mangroves in protecting coastlines, supporting biodiversity, and mitigating climate change. Dr. N. V. Junghare, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry delivered an insightful lecture. His talk covered topics such as mangrove species diversity, adaptations, and conservation strategies. Dr. S. P.

responsibility among faculty and guests. Attendees gained valuable
knowledge about the unique features of mangrove ecosystems. As we move forward,
let us continue to protect and preserve these invaluable coastal ecosystems.
