In this study, we are exploring the complex connection between climate change, heavy metal pollution, and the reproductive patterns of Mudskippers (Boleophthalmus dussumieri) along the Palghar coast of Maharashtra, India. Using extensive field surveys, laboratory analyses, and behavioral observations, our research aims to clarify the ecological dynamics of coastal ecosystems and the ability of Mudskippers to withstand environmental pressures. Initial findings indicate possible disturbances in Mudskipper reproductive behaviors linked to increased heavy metal levels in coastal waters. By combining field data with laboratory analyses and behavioral observations, we gain important insights into the intricate relationships between environmental factors and Mudskipper behavior. These discoveries highlight the importance of comprehending these relationships for successful conservation strategies and the sustainable oversight of coastal biodiversity. Our research strives to enhance the scientific comprehension of coastal ecosystems and enable stakeholders to make well-informed decisions for preserving and safeguarding marine biodiversity in the Palghar coast.
