Explanation:

Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project is a proposed project to create a shipping route in the shallow straits between India and Sri Lanka. This would provide a continuously navigable sea route around the Indian Peninsula. The channel would be dredged in the Sethusamudram sea between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, passing through the limestone shoals of Adam's Bridge.
The project involves digging a 44.9 nautical miles (83.2 km) long deepwater channel linking the shallow Palk Strait with the Gulf of Mannar
