Abstract
Coasts have a rich complex structure that hosts different ecosystems, habitats and species. Because of this properties, the coastline is exposed to changes from time to time. Remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play an important role in examining and managing the increasing pressure on the coasts in long periods of time and in creating future models. The aim of the study is to determine the coastal changes experienced on the shores of the Göksu Delta between 1985 and 2020. As a result of the analyses, it was seen that the areas with the highest erosion in the Göksu Delta over a 35-year period are Altınkum, the mouth of the Göksu River and the end parts of İncekum. It has been determined that the accumulation is concentrated on the east and west coasts of Incekum (İnceburun) cape. As a result of statistical calculations using DSAS, the possible position of the coastline in 2030 and 2040 has been determined.
