  • Abstract:
  • The Gulf of Cambay (GoC), also known as the Gulf of Khambhat, is a vital extension of the Arabian Sea along Gujarat's coastline. The coastal belt plays a significant role in the state's economic development, particularly through its estuarine systems like those of the Mahi and Dhadhar rivers and others too. However, these regions are facing a multitude of environmental challenges due to both natural processes and human activities. For the Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Land Use Land Cove (LULC) Dynamics of Mahi and Dhadhar River Estuaries at Gulf of Cambay, decadal landform changes for the 1978-2017 time frame and Level I & II Classification System for Coastal Land Use Mapping for the geology and geomorphological features were considered. Satellite data were used in ArcGIS environment to construct the geo-data sets and produce LULC classified thematic maps and geo-statistics. Statistical analysis generated were materialised to reveal the outcomes. Industries, mangroves, settlements, depict a growth from 1978 to 2017. Sandbars have negative and mudflats have positive but fluctuating trend. Further association of classified and predictable features on image were established with Ground Control Points (GCP). The spatial extent of mud flats, salt encrusted land and sand bars have transformed indicating the natural parameters are under pressure over this region. The trend of fluvial water and rejuvenation through sediment flux in gulf in the recent time is declining compare to previous and in contradictory, the spatial extent of mud of marine nature and its deposition and change in its quality is striking and evident.
