In the present work, we carried out the diversity of Zooplankton in some selected coastal areas of Mumbai coasts like Aksa beach, Versova beach, Manori beach, Girgaon Chowpatty and Elephanta caves from 22 September 2022 to 26 February 2023. The Zooplanktons were collected in the interval of 10-15 days from each site. As Zooplankton are present on the surface during the day, the collections were done during the day by using a Zooplankton hand net. Each site had different geographical condition, which includes high current, sandy and muddy shore, and different tide levels. A total of 28 species were found during the study of these 5 stations; we found 6 orders and 17 families of Zooplankton. Among these species, copepods and foraminifera are the most dominant groups of holoplankton. The highest diversity of Zooplankton was seen in Aksa, Versova, Manori, while the lowest observed at Elephanta Caves and Girgaon.
