Abstract

The study presented an analysis of the shoreline evolution in Callao Bay – Lima, Perú; which is one of the most important bays in Perú due to economics and touristic activities. Study areas include La Punta, Callao and Ventanilla districts with an approximate 32 km of length. The study area was divided into six sectors, and the analysis was focused mainly from the 2001 to 2020 period, identifying areas affected by coastal erosion or accretion throughout. Satellite data images were obtained from Landsat (5, 7 and 8) and Sentinel 2, they were processed to correctly identify the shoreline. Shoreline variations were analyzed using the DSAS (Digital Shoreline Analysis System) utility, applying a statistical method called "Linear Regression Ratio". Shoreline variations showed different rates of changes along different sectors of the study area. In general terms, the accretion or erosion trend in Callao Bay was a low accretion with average rates from 3.77 m / year to 4.20 m / year, except in the sector which is closed to the Rímac river with change rate of around 11.85 m/year.
