AB  - Coastal attrition is one of the most important
problems in world seashore. Its impact has adversely
affected the livelihood of the coastal community. The
coastal zone of India is experiencing a wide range of
natural and anthropogenic pressure. This study was
carried out the shoreline changes between Cuddalore and
Nagapattinam, East coast of Tamil Nadu, India using
satellite images from 1980-2015. The long-standing
coastal erosion and accretion rates have been calculated
using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS).
Linear Regression Rate (LRR) statistical method is
applied to estimate the shoreline change rate. The results
of the analysis show that erosion is dominant in
Devanampattinam to Cuddalore old town, Sothikuppam
to Rajapettai, Chitrapettai to Nanjalingampettai,
Kodiampalayam North side, Coleroon river mouth to
Tandavankulam, Poompuhar to Kaveripattinam and
Santirappadi.
