| Abstract: | Land-use/land cover changes are studied using the Indian Remote Sensing satellite (IRS-1C, IRS-P6) Linear Image Self-scan Sensor (LISS) III data of 1998 and 2010. Coastal land use categories such as sand, vegetation, coral reef and water have been identified using interpretation keys. Results of land-use/land cover assessment based on visual interpretation are presented. The study indicates water body of 178 and 177 km2, sand features of 32 and 32 km2, vegetation of 28 and 35 km2 and coral reef of 5 and 6 km2 respectively. |
