“…The waves, currents, and beach sediment characteristics are the main factors in controlling the shoreline boundary (Evadzi et al 2017). The process of sediment transportation to the coastal zone could also result in erosion and coastal inundation, which could be attributed to changes in coastal boundaries (Alharbi et al 2017). This study showed that the shoreline areas are experiencing erosion and accretion, which may be a result of their exposure to various natural hazards.…”

This paper studies the shoreline alterations occurring along the Al Batinah region in the Sultanate of Oman and the impacts of Cyclone Kyarr on its shoreline. The methods used in this research employed Sentinel images and the Digital Shoreline Analysis System within the GIS environment to measure changes of the shoreline and explore Kyarr's impacts from 2017 to 2020. The results showed that from 2017 to 2020, the Al Batinah coast experienced erosion at a rate of 9 m/year. In addition, the Shoreline Change Envelop showed that the maximum shoreline change was reported from 2018 to 2019, with a 1145 m advancement that coincided with Kyarr in 2019. Further, data from the period between 2017 and 2018 showed that 73 % of the coastline was dominated by soil deposition at an average rate of 10 m/year, while the period between 2018 and 2019 showed erosion at an average rate of -40 m/year. The results of this study will be of interest to decision-makers involved in monitoring shoreline changes and would also be of immence importance in ensuring sustainable coastal zone management and development, especially in areas prone to extreme events such as tropical cyclones.

“…The outcomes of this study align with the outcomes of other studies and vary from other studies conducted regionally and internationally. Regionally, Alharbi et al [89] investigated the shoreline dynamics in the Jizan area in Saudi Arabia between 1973 and 2011 using Landsat imagery and inter-survey methods. They found shoreline changes including a maximum accretion of 36.4 m and maximum erosion of 12.9 m. These shoreline changes are mainly due to anthropogenic evolution such as infrastructure development, land reclamation, and port development and some natural processes such as spit formations and valley outfalls.…”

This research aims to examine changes in the eastern part of Qatar’s shoreline from 1982 to 2018 by means of satellite imagery. Five different time periods, namely 1982, 1992, 2002, 2013, and 2018, were analysed to determine shoreline movements and shoreline variations. Techniques such as maximum likelihood classification, the normalised difference vegetation index, and tasselled cap transformation were utilised to extract the shoreline data. Linear regression rate statistics were used to quantify the rate of shoreline variations. The results indicate that the majority of shoreline accretion is a result of human activities such as coastal construction, land reclamation, and building artificial islands, which are associated with the high economic activity over the past two decades. Significant changes were observed in Lusail City, The Pearl, and Hamad International Airport (HIA). Natural sediment accumulation was also observed in Al Wakra and on the southern side of HIA. In general, there were more land gains than losses throughout the study period, and the shoreline increased by twice its previous length. The field survey confirmed the presence of sandy and rocky beaches, as well as a shoreline with protective structures such as natural limestone rocks and concrete reinforcement.

“…It is valuable to integrate different modern scientific tools (e.g., GIS, remote sensing, and GPS) when developing and analyzing databases. It is also helpful when developing and elaborating management action plans [3][4][5]. This study is significant since it is a comprehensive and holistic approach to understanding the dynamics of coastal environments and their interactions with the changing climate and their impact on coastal islands, which can be linked to Shoreline Erosion and Sedimentation Studies, Environmental Monitoring and Management, Natural Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation, Climate Change Impact Assessment, Habitat Conservation and Biodiversity Assessment, Infrastructure Planning and Coastal Engineering, Water Quality Assessment, Socioeconomic Impact Analysis and Long-Term Trend Analysis and Predictive Modeling, etc.…”

“…The shifts in the shoreline, either towards the ocean or land, are primarily attributed to anthropogenic activities like the construction of structures for development or socio-cultural purposes, disrupting the natural balance [4]. Structures such as artificial harbors, jetties, and sea walls significantly impact erosion and accretion patterns [5]. Analyzing shoreline changes is crucial for assessing coastal vulnerability and understanding the key driving factors [6].…”

Vypin, Vallarpadam, and Bolgatty are significant tropical coastal islands situated in the humid tropical Kerala region of India, notable for their environmental sensitivity. This study conducted a comprehensive assessment of shoreline alterations on these islands by integrating Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques. Utilizing satellite imagery from the LANDSAT series with a spatial resolution of 30 m, the analysis spanned the years from 1973 to 2019. The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) tool, integrated into the ArcGIS software, was employed to monitor and analyze shoreline shifts, encompassing erosion and accretion. Various statistical parameters, including Net Shoreline Movement (NSM), End Point Rate (EPR), and Linear Regression Rate (LRR), were utilized to evaluate these changes. Additionally, the study aimed to discern the root causes of shoreline modifications in the study area, encompassing disturbances and the construction of new structures on these islands. The results conclusively demonstrated the substantial impact endured by these coastal islands, with accretion on both sides leading to the creation of new landmasses. This manuscript effectively illustrates that these islands have experienced marine transgression, notably evidenced by accretion. Anthropogenic activities were identified as the primary drivers behind the observed shoreline changes, underscoring the need for careful management and sustainable practices in these fragile coastal ecosystems.
