In this paper, by using satellite imagery, both manual methods and coastal extraction processing have been examined. Six variables consist of the coastal vulnerability index (CVI), which are coastal geomorphology, coastal slope, erosion and accretion rate, mean wave height, mean tidal range, and the increase in sea level. Vulnerability levels are classified into five vulnerabilities for 8 management units along the Selangor coast which are very medium, medium, moderate, high and very high. The finding reveals that the level of vulnerability of MU 7 Pantai Jeram & Bagan Sungai Janggut is very high because the rate of erosion in the area is higher compared to other areas.
