Coastal erosion is a natural phenomenon that becoming growing problem along coastlines around the world. In this research, evolution of two beaches located in Benidorm (Spain) has been studied: Poniente Beach and Levante Beach. Both have similar characteristics, but present different morphological behaviour. An analysis shoreline carried out using aerial images. Then, waves incident storms were...

Despite the global occurrence of microplastic contamination on sandy beaches, evidence distribution within beaches remains contradictory. When conflicting is used to inform sampling surveys, it increases uncertainty in resulting data. Moreover, hampers spatially explicit risk characterization pollution intertidal fauna. We aimed guide designs for monitoring and quantify macroinfauna exposure mi...

Tidal flats play an important role in promoting coastal biodiversity, defense against flooding, land reclamation and recreation. Many tidal flats, especially the tide-dominant ones, are muddy. However, number of studies on profile shape surficial sediment distribution muddy is small compared to sandy beaches. Based high spatial-resolution measurements along Jiangsu Coast, China, we analyzed mor...
