Description An empirical sediment transport model has been developed based on longshore energy flux equation. Study indicates that annual gross sediment transport rate is high (1.5 x 10 super(6) m super(3) to 2.0 x 10 super(6) m super(3)) along the coasts of south Orissa, north Tamilnadu, south Kerala, north Karnataka and south Gujarat, whereas it is comparatively less (0.5 x 10 super(6) m super(3) to 1.0 x 10 super(6) m super(3)) along the south Tamilnadu Coast. Coast between Pondicherry and Point Calimere in Tamilnadu, and the Maharashtra Coast experience negligible annual net transport. The direction of annual net transport along the east coast is towards north and along the west coast towards south except at south Gujarat Coast
