<![CDATA[The erosion and sedimentation process that occurred in the east coast of South Lampung is a natural process affecting the balance of coastal sediment transport and resulting in the instability of coastal lines to the loss of the coastal communities along the coast, such as silting the river and can disturb the traffic of fishing boats. This is seen as a natural process influenced by the magnitude of wave energy coming, the type and size of sediment deposited, and coastal morphology. This research aims to analyze sediment and its effect on the changing coastline. The calculation approach with the empirical formula against coastal sediment data and wave data is used to predict the natural processes occurring along the coast. Analysis of SPOT 6/7 satellite imagery years 2008, 2013, 2016, and 2018 is the next step to estimate the similarity with empirical calculation results. The results showed that the East Coast had a characteristic mud sediment size ranging from 0.0258 – 0033 mm with the highest wave from the east with a wave height above 2.57 m and a period above 8,015 S. Research locations tend to undergo sedimentation processes that are influenced by waves, grain size, and there are rivers carrying sediments and deposits in the river estuary.]]>
