Sea level rise poses risks to coastal areas which is increasingly rendering such areas susceptible to flood and shoreline retreat. Notably, coastal areas like Southern Louisiana located along the Gulf of Mexico has experienced endangering events of land subsidence due to flood inundations resulting from incessant distribution of hurricanes and tropical storms. This research therefore employed remote sensing data to analyze the impacts of sea level rise on coastal flooding and shoreline retreat along the coast of Louisiana. That is, by assessing Sentinel-2 imagery data to evaluate flood prone and flood extent areas particularly during the Louisiana floods and Hurricane Harvey. Based on this, the results show most of the inland parishes in coastal Louisiana such as Assumption, St. James, Livingston, Lafourche and Terrebonne were within high flood risk zones of about 9.3. These parishes also suffered severe damage in terms of affected croplands, potentially flooded areas and affected urban areas. On the other hand, most of the parishes in close proximity to the waterbodies such as the Gulf of Mexico were interestingly within low flood risk zones of about 6.1 suggesting proximity to waterbodies not being the only indicating factor of a flood prone area. This research also highlights that Louisiana's shorelines are rapidly receding at a rate that could result in the loss of one million acres of the state’s land in the next four decades. Hence, the results from this research are anticipated to contribute to sustainable shoreline setback plans and mitigative strategies to protect Louisiana's coast.
