A comparison of the set of 1955 and 1983 aerial photographs and maps constructed based on these indicates that during the 28 year study period, the outer margin of the Rosetta and Damietta promontories have been eroded (Fig. 1 a&c) . The highest erosion rates are 114 and 31 m per year, respectively. ...
