This paper studies the evolution process of coastline in the Yancheng coastal plain. First, image dodging and threshold segmentation are carried out based on the 1975 MSS image. So the "zebra-stripe" image has been obtained which reveals the evolution of ancient coast. And then, bottom characteristics samples are analyzed. The result shows that sandy soil and silt soil present alternating distribution in the Yancheng coastal plain. The distribution is compatible with the "zebra-stripe" image. In addition, the overall trends of the historical coastline and the stripes of the interpretation map is the same. To sum up, the "zebra-stripe" should be the indicator of the coastline change. A total of 10 sand hills and 10 silt flats are found in the "zebra-stripe" image. Therefore we get a better understanding of the coastal evolution in the Yancheng coastal plain.
