In order to understand the sediment dynamics of the Iskapalli lagoon, located in northern part of the Penner delta, east coast of India, grain size parameters were analyzed for 36 sediment samples from tidal channel, lower and upper lagoons. Sediment distribution pattern indicates that tidal channel is mostly occupied by sand, lower lagoon by mixed clayey sand and sandy mud and upper lagoon mostly by clayey sand.
