Abstract
The coastal zone of the Nile delta is presently undergoing extensive changes from natural and human influences (STANLEY and WARNE, 1993). These changes have induced problems of shoreline erosion associated with sedimentation inside the coastal lagoon inlets estuaries. These changes have attributed to cut off sediment supply to the coast due to the construction of dams on the upper Nile River that cut off almost all water discharge from the river. Erosion has affected agriculture and urban lands along the delta promontories (Rossetta and Damietta). On the other hand, accretion has induced shoaling and subsequent navigation hazards at the lagoon inlets, estuaries and navigation channels (damietta harbour).
