Description Delineation of High Tide Line (HTL), Low Tide Line (LTL) and demarcating the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) boundaries for any part of the Indian coast has to be dealt with great care. This technical report suggests the method adopted by us for delineating the HTL, LTL and measuring the setback lines. Some suggestions are made regarding different instruments available for carrying out this task and the best possible method and selection of instruments for delineating the HTL. A program namely "Conversion of Laser Track raw data to obtain the final UTM co-ordinates" is indigeneously developed by the author for processing the collected raw data, the listing of the software is being given in this technical report. When it comes to mapping the final output. A suggestion is being made in this report for an urgent need that CRZ issues should be taken up as a national programme with all mapping agencies using same methodology, same datum, same projection and with similar interpretation, so that, uniform rules can be followed in all the states for HTL demarcation. This will enable all the CRZ maps prepared from any part of out Indian coast, getting depicted uniformly in accordance with CRZ regulations
