چکیده

eighteen kilometers long coastal stretch from the new mangalore port in the north totalapadi in the south has been studied in order to understand shoreline changes and erosion/ accretion patterns that have taken place due to the natural processes and anthropogenic activities. shoreline changes and quantification of beach erosion/accretion were made using the survey of india topomap, multidated satellite images and beach profile surveys. during 1967-97 period, most of the beaches were accreted, except those lie just towards south of the netravati and gurpur river mouth in sector iii. during 1997-2001 period also, the beaches showed accretion trend, but they were subjected to severe erosion during 2001-05 in all the four sectors. the beaches in sectors i-iii are polluted due to discharges of effluents and very poor maintenance.
