Statistical analysis of shoreline change reveals erosion and baseline are increasing off the northern Tamil Nadu Coasts of India.

Many tourists have been recently attracted towards the coasts around the world, especially to the large urban centres and economically significant areas. In the last four decades, there is a significant increase in the key coastal developments and tourist's attractions like major ports, minor ports, fishing harbours, desalination plants, shore protection structures, and many more along the southeast coasts of India, in particular, northern Tami Nadu coastal stretches. The shoreline change study of these regions were carried out using the geospatial technologies (satellite remote sensing and geographical information system) to examine potential modifications occurred during the last 32 years between March 1990 and May 2022.
