The need for a comprehensive change in Indias security policy is well exposed and certain policy prescriptions are also given. The oceans are generally meant for better inaction among nations, especially in the era of accelerated pace of globalization. With regard to the coastal security of India the role of coastal community is significant. The needs for inculcating awareness among the coastal community on coastal security matters as well as infrastructure development along the coastal area are also emphasized. It is very important to look into the basic problems of coastal people as they face many human security challenges. When we look into the coastal security a convergence of the national security concerns and human security concerns is visible. The overall development of the coastal area would lead to better human security and better human security would result in enlisting the support of the coastal community to ensure national security programme, especially the coastal security.

Preface
The oceans have become crucial to any nations security and engagement with the outside world. The growing significance of maritime resources and of sea-lane protection, as well as the concentration of economic boom zones along the coasts, has made maritime security more critical than ever before. The maritime challenges include non-traditional threats such as climate change, transnational terrorism, illicit fishing, human trafficking, and environmental degradation. The over exploitation of marine resources has underlined the need for conservation and cautious management of the biological diversity of the seabed. The creation of a global ocean governance mechanism is sine quo non for the peaceful exploitation of ocean resources. The assertive pursuit of national interest for relative gain in an increasingly interdependent world is neither a formula for harmonious maritime relations or for peaceful utilisation of ocean resources to the benefit of mankind.
In the emerging global order maritime security assumes great significance. Soon after Indias independence, the decision makers were under the impression that security threats could come only from across land borders. Therefore coastal security was not taken seriously for a long time. Though much of the weaponry for the 1993-terrorist attack on Mumbai entered the country through the sea, the seriousness of coastal security continued to be largely ignored till the terrorist attack on Mumbai in 26 November 2008.
Coastal security is one of the subset of maritime security. The coastal security has become an urgent necessity especially in the context of Mumbai terrorist attack and the threat it poses to the national security. In the post cold war period the threat to the security of nation states emanates mainly from non state actors. Unlike the attack from state actors the non state actors mode of attack is different. It demands a constant vigil throughout the land and maritime borders. The recent Italian marine issue adds a new dimension to the security of the coastal people engaged in fishing.
When we look into the coastal security a convergence of the national security concerns and human security concerns is visible. The overall development of the coastal area would lead to better human security and better human security would result in enlisting the support of the coastal community to ensure national security programme, especially the coastal security. However the task of guarding the vast coastline, unlike our land borders, is a complex issue involving multiple stake holders such as shipping, fisheries, offshore exploration and production, tourism, and scientific community. In short, it is not only about protecting the coastal terrain and territorial waters from direct attacks by state actors or non state actors, but also safeguarding the interests of all stake holders.
This edited book is a collection of selected papers presented at the two days ICSSR National Seminar on Maritime Security of India: The Coastal Security Challenges and Policy Options organised by the Postgraduate and Research Department of Political Science, Sree Narayana College, Kollam, Kerala on 13 & 14 August 2013. Almost all aspects of the coastal security dimension of maritime security of India are well explored in this collection. The contributors include academics, defence experts and policy makers.

Introduction
The concept of security has various dimensions. In the cold war period threat to security to nation was mainly from the other nation states. However, in the post cold war period the threat to national security emanates mainly from non state actors. There are some non-traditional threats to national security including international terrorism. This new threats can be addressed only with the active support of other nation states as well as people. Similarly in the post cold war period the human security issues assume great significance. Thus it is the responsibility of nation to address both national security and human security simultaneously. Interestingly the coastal security is an area where the national security interests and human security interests converge.
The coastal security of India has become an urgent necessity especially in the context of Mumbai terrorist attack and the threat it poses to the national security. Unlike the attack from state actors the non state actors mode of attack is different. It not only demands a constant vigil throughout the land and maritime borders but also multilateral approach. The Italian Marines issue adds a new dimension to the security of the coastal people engaged in fishing.
