Abstract

In assessing and monitoring the shoreline changes across the Arabian Gulf starting from Al Khafaji near Saudi Kuwait border and ending at Al-Uqair region near Saudi Bahrain border has significantly showed the shoreline changes in coastal environment at multiple locations discussed in the study which have concerned the coastal communities. In this study, we have used freely available satellite datasets with varying satellite resolutions and sensors downloaded from Nasa Earth explorer which paved the way to possible the studies. The present research explored the shoreline shifts in Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia between 1973 to 2022 using remotely sensed medium resolution satellite data (i.e., landsat-8 (OLI), Landsat MSS (4-5) and Landsat TM (4-5)) to classify changes in shorelines for the different years. The results show variations where built-up has been increased drastically from 1973 to 2020. The shoreline length is increased to 1611.44 km in 2020 followed by 1057.63 in 1973.
