The Bombay High Court on Wednesday raised concerns over filth thrown back by the sea on Maharashtra's coast during the present monsoon season and after cyclone Tauktae last month, saying waste disposal into the sea not only poses a problem for the coastline, but also to marine life.

"We are conscious that the state government is under pressure because of the Covid-19 pandemic, but this problem is also quite serious," a division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G S Kulkarni said.
