Intelligent Metadata Extraction For Integrated Coastal Zone Management

Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is an application area of increasing importance, requiring much data, information and knowledge. The scale of this resource is acknowledged at an international level, and is known to be ever growing. Among other factors, the global repository of coastal data and information is known to be fragmented, is of different formats and occurs at various scales....

Role of Remote Sensing to Integrated Coastal Zone Management

The coastal zone represents varied and highly productive ecosystems such as mangroves, coral reefs, sea grasses and sand dunes. These ecosystems are under pressure on account of increased anthropogenic activity on the coast, as a result of globalisation. It is necessary to protect these coastal ecosystems to ensure sustainable development. This requires information on habitats, landforms, coast...

Integrated coastal zone management with a good governance approach (Kish Island case example)

An integrated coastal modeling system for analyzing beach processes and beach restoration projects, SMC

A user-friendly system called coastal modeling system (SMC) has been developed by the Spanish Ministry of Environment and the University of Cantabria. The system includes several numerical models specifically developed for the application of the methodology proposed in the Spanish Beach Nourishment and Protection Manual. According to this methodology, the SMC is structured into five-modules: (1...
