Progression in coastal morphological dynamics over centuries to millennia is associated with severe problems of coastal ecosystems and the sustainability of local coastal communities worldwide. Although coastal management strategies have been implemented in various places to understand regional variations, monitoring a specific phenomenon efficiently remains challenging for researchers. This study documented an in-depth assessment of changing coastal morphodynamics along the Purba Medinipur coastal stretch over 51 years (1972-2023) based on multi-temporal satellite images. The findings suggest that dominant erosional activities have taken place along unprotected areas of Shankarpur, Tajpur and Mandarmani, whereas, the accretional activities dominate the Junput, Haripur and Bankiput sectors. Natural and anthropogenic interferences such as extreme storms, modification in sediment budgets, construction of coastal protective structures, storm surges, and clearing of mangroves have interrupted the natural morphological processes. This pronounced trend in coastal erosion could be intensified through frequent extreme events under a changing climate along with Sea Level Rise (SLR).
