ABSTRACT
Marina is considered as the world’s second largest urban beach. It has a stretch
of 13 Km including a 6 Km promenade. It has been studied in order to understand
shoreline changes and erosion/accretion pattern that have been taken place due to the
natural processes and anthropogenic activities. The shoreline is one of the rapidly
changing coastal landforms. Shorelines are the key element in coastal GIS and
provide the most information on coastal landform dynamics. Therefore, accurate
detection and frequent monitoring of shorelines are very essential to understand the
coastal processes and dynamics of various coastal features. Multi temporal landsat (7
ETM+) satellite images from 2009 to 2019 were used to extract shorelines. The data
is processed and analyzed by (Digital Shoreline Analysis System) DSAS an extension
tool of ArcGIS. The rate of the shoreline change are calculated by 3 statistical
analysis such as (End Point Rate) EPR, (Net Shoreline Movement) NSM and (Linear
Regression Rate) LRR. The study had been conducted in summer and winter season
and the results obtained are shown in graphs. The result obtained clearly shows
Accretion is higher in summer and erosion is higher in winter.
Keywords: Erosion, Accretion, Shoreline, Change Detection, Remote Sensing,
