Coastal lands and nearshore marine areas are productive and rapidly changing places. However, these areas face many environmental challenges related to climate change and human-induced impacts. Space-borne remote sensing systems may be restricted in monitoring these areas because of their spatial and temporal resolutions. In situ measurements are also constrained from accessing the area and obt...

the continuous degradation of the marine ecosystem leads to the establishment of marine protected areas (mpas) as a protective measure. because of the wide array of benefits that can be gained upon its establishment, socio-economic contributions were taken into consideration using a descriptive survey method of research among the seven mpas in lingayen gulf. data revealed that members of the fi...

The overall objective of this paper is to identify coastal zone management problems within Mombasa Diani area. Other objectives included evaluating the effectiveness of the existing control measures and identifying response strategies for the affected areas. The results showed that coastal dunes and beach ridges, cliffed coasts and backshore areas could be developed but with proper set back lin...

The process of erosion and desertification affects social communities, agricultural lands and natural resources in coastal areas. The rapid coastline changes would cause social and economic issues in the coastal areas. In this study, Miankaleh coasts and the eastern coastlines of Amirabad port have been surveyed due to existing benchmarks since June 2013 until December 2015 in order to analyze ...
