Longshore sediment transport characteristics of the Kerala coast have been examined to delineate various physical processes affecting the different coastal environments. Monthly averages of the daily LEO (Littoral Environmental Observation) data for one year made at each station have been used for this study. Monthly longshore sediment transport rates showed high variability in the sediment transport mechanism.
