Abstract
The study deals with the application of Remote Sensing for delineating various vegetation types along the three coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh. The satellite imagery of the region is divided into three types depending upon tone and texture. Each type is correlated with the ground truth. The species composition has been given and discussed.
