The Damietta area has been subjected to large landscape changes and reformations at recent decades. The area still
under development and is expected to experience some more changes during the next few years. This demonstrates
the urgent need for assessment of the present coverage pattern and land-uses of this area. The present study attempts
to determine details of LULC information of the Damietta estuary and surrounding area using high resolution remote
sensing Images. Land cover types and surface characteristics were described and their areas estimated and mapped
using the standard remote sensing methods[4].
