Abstract

Estimating the coastline or shoreline is one of the crucial components in determining coastal accretion and erosion and in analysing coastal morph dynamics. In recent years, the socioeconomic pressure has increased on the Sidi Abdel Rahman coast area with the impact of climate change, which has led to the destabilisation of the coast. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the shoreline changes along the coast in the study area using remote sensing data for the period 2007 to 2021, modeling the shoreline change through the study area, and predicting shoreline change in the period from 2021 to 2024. It also suggests the type of protection required for the area from waves and sea currents.
