Shoreline changes in Vishakhapatnam, India were studied using satellite images from 1991 to 2018. The Digital Shoreline Analysis System was used to calculate erosion and accretion rates. Results showed that erosion is happening in some areas while others are gaining land. This information can help with planning, development, and disaster management in the region.
