Thane Creek

Thane Creek is a water channel located near Mumbai, India, connecting the Arabian Sea to the Ulhas River. It acts as a natural estuary, providing a vital habitat for various marine life and supporting local fishing communities. The creek also influences local weather and acts as a natural barrier, protecting inland areas from the sea. It is part of the larger Mumbai Metropolitan Region and plays a role in navigation, ecology, and urban development. Efforts are ongoing to balance conservation with urban expansion around Thane Creek.
