In the face of uncertainties around coastal management and climate change, coastal
engineering interventions need to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Nature-based …

Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is one of the most important societal challenges addressed
under the umbrella term nature-based solutions (NbS). One NbS approach that specifically …

This baseline reports scientific evidence of marine litter items embedded in the dune volume
at two study sites on the North Atlantic Portuguese coast. We described how stranded litter …

Sandy beaches are highly dynamic environments buffering shores from storm waves and
providing outstanding recreational services. Long-term beach monitoring programs are …

Nowadays, the employment of high-resolution Digital Surface Models (DSMs) and RGB
orthophotos has become fundamental in coastal system studies. This work aims to explore …

Foredunes are efficient natural coastal defenses acting as protective barriers during storm
events. They also have the capacity to be an ecosystem hosting significant biodiversity. The …

In northern Europe, coastal dune remobilization by restoring natural processes is
considered by some to maintain the coastal dune in chronically eroding sectors by migrating …

Mapping coastal dune vegetation is critical to understand dune mobility and resilience in the
context of climate change, sea level rise, and increased anthropogenic pressure. However …

The size and great dynamism of coastal systems require faster and more automated
mapping methods like the use of a remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) or unmanned …

Finding a balance between the preservation of habitat, species and the sustainable
development of human activities in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) is made even more …
