Abstract
The land-water boundary known as the shoreline is the area most conducive to development. Due to both natural and human influences, these areas are highly variable. To study the coastline morphology, the coastal region of the northern Suez Canal is chosen. Shoreline retreat is extracted, monitored, measured, and interpreted using GIS and remote sensing techniques. Three zones made up the area under investigation. The shoreline studying and monitoring showing that zone 1, Suffered from erosion rates were found in the coast of El-Tina plain (-17.2 to -11.9 m/year). Converted East ward to accretion at rates reached to +19.7 m/year. While over zone II, the results show that the investigated zone suffer from continues regression (-0.82 to -5.690 m/year) and on Zone III, the results show that the investigated zone suffered from regression in the western side by rates reached to -8.52 m/year and accretion at rates reached to +13.7 m/year Prediction of shoreline position of years (2030, 2040 and 2050) is implemented based on the rates of changes.
