1) The document summarizes the gastropod diversity found along the Uran coast in Navi Mumbai, India. It identifies 57 gastropod species across 30 families and provides the scientific name for each. 2) A table shows the percentage composition of gastropod species distributed across each family, with Neritidae and Trochidae making up the largest proportions at 16% and 12% respectively. 3) The document acknowledges funding support from the University Grants Commission of India and thanks various academics for their assistance with the research.
