The shoreline change assessment for the coast of India represents long-term shoreline change for a period of 38 years from 1972-2010. Shoreline change evaluations are based on comparing four to five historical shorelines, archived from satellite imageries for the above time period, with recent shoreline derived from LISS III images and limited field surveys. The primary goal of the study is to develop standardized methods for mapping and analyzing shoreline movement so that internally consistent updates can periodically be made to record shoreline erosion and accretion. Appropriate use of remote sensing technology coupled with limited DGPS surveys was integrated in GIS platform to obtain historical shoreline information.
