The second publication of this series presented the use of maps for the west coast from goa to kanyakumari and contained recommendations for dealing with existing pollution due to wastewater discharge. The third and fourth reports of this series covered the West Bengal and Orissa, and the Maharashtra and Gujarat coasts respectively.
