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.}, keywords = {Anthropogenic activities,Beach erosion,Natural processes,Shoreline changes}, url = {https://ijer.ut.ac.ir/article_46.html}, eprint = {https://ijer.ut.ac.ir/article_46_1c0bfe0af2c27ef88ded08be8a67b999.pdf} }
