Oceans occupy an important place in the global ecosystem on this earth planet. Besides water these are rich treasure of sea food for human kind2. More than 50% of the world’s population lived in coastal regions these numbers have increased as a consequence of immigration and the growth in prosperity of many coastal areas as a result of industrialisation and tourism3. Today, about 60 percent of humanity (or nearly three billion people) live in the coastal zone, and two-thirds of the world cities with populations of 2.5 million are more are near estuaries causing marine pollution. 
Marine pollution is every type of man made solid waste which deliberately or accidentally pollutes seas and coastlines. Marine pollution is an economic, environmental,  human  health  and  aesthetic  problem  posing  a  complex  and multi‐dimensional  challenge  to authorities and environmental groups},
