Abundance of litter exist in our ocean are listed among the crucial threat to the biodiversity that caused a particular concern due to the abundance, durability and persistence in the coastal environment since the area is highly productive. This research paper is to focus on coastal pollution with the objectives of identifying marine litter to relate with the land use in Kuala Perlis, Malaysia. Marine litter is collected at three points along the shoreline stretching 30 meters in length and 5 meters in width. Collected litter varied between categories and the highest amount was plastic weighing 53.15 kg/m2 followed by fabric, wood, glass, rubber and metal. Generally, there are significant relationship between land use and accumulation of marine debris. As there is a development in the area, the accumulation of marine debris increases, in contrast with the small amount of debris found in undeveloped or nonpopulated areas. The accuracy assessment obtained from Landsat 8 year 2014 and 2018 and Kappa statistics shows value range from 0.7 to 0.9 which indicate good classification performance using ERDAS Imagine 2015. Slight changes in urban development, cultivation area and forest with 1 % while for the water bodies and unclassified or cloud with 9% and 8 %.
