  abstract = {{T}he coast of {C}ameroon is located at the bottom of the {G}ulf of {G}uinea with varied nearshore environments and oceanic forcing influenced by the presence of several islands. {I}t is also the area of important river flows. {H}ere, the global evolution of the {C}ameroonian coastline and hydrodynamic between 1986 and 2015 is investigated using satellite images and {ECMWF} {E}ralnterim re-analysis wave data. {S}even areas of important cross-shore changes have been identified with only one case of human-induced variation that corresponds to the construction of a new habour at {K}ribi. {T}his paper presents the results of using {SYMPHONIE} model with {DOUALA}26 configuration to assess the changes in {C}ameroon estuaries. {T}he other areas are mainly located at the mouths of the rivers and at the entrance of {C}ameroon and {R}io {D}el {R}ey esruaries. {T}he results of the circulation model show that the convergence of {W}ouri, {D}ibamba river flows and littoral drift corresponds to the accumulation of sediments observed at "{S}ouleyba", while the eroded area at "{C}ap {C}ameroun" corresponds to the estuary output current. {T}his work provides an understanding of erosive or accretive coastal processes using barotropic currents modeling in estuaries.},
