Shoreline change is a process that occurs due to the impact of natural factors and human activities. Geographically, the coastal area of North Central Timor Regency (NCT) is in the northern part of the island of Timor, East Nusa Tenggara Province (ENT). Physically, the area is affected by the oceanographic dynamics of the Sawu Sea waters and aquaculture activities, which impact the damage to coastal ecosystems. This study aims to analyze shoreline change in the northern coastal area of NCT Regency. The data used are Landsat 8 images from 2015-20221 to describe current conditions. Meanwhile, Landsat 5 imagery data from 1990 - 2000 was used to describe the initial conditions. The satellite imagery is analyzed to map shoreline changes that experience accretion or abrasion. The results show that the shoreline of the study area has experienced changes in accretion and abrasion. Based on the area of change in the northern coastal area of NCT Regency, the dominant accretion area was 1108.07 m2 with a rate of change of 20.19 m.year-1, as long as 1021 meters, while the abrasion was 845.43 m2 at a rate of 12.65 m.year-1 as long as 36520 meters. The average shoreline change distance in accretion conditions was 11.3 meters, while the abrasion was 7.93 meters. The shoreline shift due to the highest abrasion in Ponu was -16.08, while accretion in North Oepuah was 35.63 meters. The results of this research will contribute to planning the management of the coastal area of NCT Regency.
