Abstract: 

Coastal are ever dynamic and change over space and time. The State of West coast Kerala a coast line approximately 500kms long and various morphology and morph dynamics change may range from a fewer minutes to longer centuries and from a few meters to larger area, even worldwide. Hardly, these changes are continuous and constant. Inconsistency as observed in these changes, both in space and time, is functioned at the influence of various factors like the types of shorelines such as Inland, offshore, rocky shore and bay, nature of oceanic or sea waves that pass by the coast, variations in tides, nature and strength of storms, changes in sea levels and finally the anthropologic activities. The future has last the coastal ecosystems. As the technology continues to improve, the cost savings and enhanced data collection is continue to improve as well. The present project is aimed to carryout mapping of potential Coastal stretches for placer minerals using high resolution Satellite image and data integration in GIS and Sediment logical studies like texture and mineral separation and Provence analysis were carried out along the western coast of Kerala especially on several aspects of surface sediments
