Lakeshores, the narrow zones where land meets water, play a vital role in supporting wildlife, maintaining water quality, and providing space for farming and human development. However, these areas are changing rapidly due to human activity. In this study, we used fine-resolution satellite data to analyze shore use changes of more than 200 lakes across six continents from 2000 to 2022. We grouped lakeshore utilization into three types: artificial (built-up areas like cities), agricultural (fields and pastures), and natural (forests and wetlands). Globally, artificial lakeshores increased until about 2015, then declined. Agricultural lakeshores decreased until around 2010, then rose again. Natural lakeshores have steadily declined since 2000. These trends vary by lake, some show steady change, others fluctuate or remain stable. We also identified major hotspots of lakeshore utilization, such as Lake Wangen Lachen in Europe, Lake Shinji in East Asia, and Lake Erie in North America. Our findings improve how we map and understand human impacts on lakeshores. This work can help researchers, planners, and environmental managers better protect these important zones, guide sustainable development, and respond to the growing pressures on freshwater ecosystems.
