The mangrove ecosystem is one of the most important ecosystems on earth. It saves the land from heavy floods, wind, and soil erosion with ample benefits. The mangrove ecosystem helps groundwater recharge, provides habitat for flora and fauna, and helps in maintaining moisture for mudflats. Despite having lots of benefits mangrove ecosystem faces many threats, one of the major threats is urbanization and increasing human activities. Samples were collected from the Gulf of Cambay near Vadgam Village, which is an estuary region where Sabarmati River water meets the seawater. Various parameters pH, E.C, acidity, alkalinity, total hardness, calcium hardness, TSS, COD, BOD, Nitrate, sulphate, fluoride, phosphate, and DO were analyzed for assessment of water quality. For soil quality analysis various soil physical and chemical properties were analyzed. Values of parameters show greater impacts on the mangrove ecosystem.
