Multispectral satellite imagery and machine learning for the extraction of shoreline indicators

Emma McAllister et al.

Summary: Analysis of shoreline change is crucial for coastal scientists, coastal engineers, and coastal managers. Multispectral Satellite Imagery (MSI) provides high resolution datasets for monitoring coastlines globally. Despite access to global and free satellite imagery, a method to monitor different shoreline types and indicators globally has not been developed yet.

Managing mangroves and coastal land cover in the Mekong Delta

Manh Hung Phan et al.

Summary: Mangroves play a vital role in maintaining a healthy coastal environment, but the mangrove forests in the coastal region of the Mekong delta in southern Vietnam have been significantly affected by both natural and human factors. This study uses remote sensing and GIS techniques to quantitatively document the changes in mangrove area over the past 48 years. The results show a significant decrease in the total mangrove area due to aquaculture invasion and coastal erosion, although there has been a slight increase since 2010 due to conservation and restoration efforts. The survival of mangrove forests in the Mekong delta is threatened by pollution, land use conversion, insufficient sediment sources, coastal erosion, and encroachment. A integrated approach that combines mangroves and shrimp farming is considered a suitable solution to achieve a beneficial balance between aquaculture and mangrove preservation.

Coastal transitions: Small-scale fisheries, livelihoods, and maritime zone developments in Southeast Asia

Michael Fabinyi et al.

Summary: This study reviews literature from ten maritime states in Southeast Asia to assess the impact of maritime zone developments on small-scale fishing livelihoods. Despite declining opportunities, small-scale fishing remains an important coastal livelihood activity in the region. The study also analyses how newer maritime zone developments interact with fishing and reshape coastal livelihoods.

Coastal dune dynamics in embayed settings with sea-level rise - Examples from the exposed and macrotidal north coast of SW England

Gerd Masselink et al.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamics of 25 coastal dune systems along the north coast of SW England and compares observed behavior with hindcasted and forecasted dune retreat rates. The study shows that most dune systems are retreating, with rates higher than predicted. It suggests that sea-level rise alone may not be enough to explain the observed retreat, and increased storminess may also play a role.

Coastline Extraction From SAR Data Using Doppler Centroid Images

Muhammad Amjad Iqbal et al.

Summary: This letter proposes a novel method for coastline extraction using synthetic aperture radar data, which relies on the Doppler parameter to delineate coastlines in the absence of in-situ data and cloud-free optical images. Results indicate that utilizing scattering from dual and cross-polarization for coastline extraction is more reliable than using co-polarization.

Monitoring the coastal wetlands dynamics in Northeast Italy from 1984 to 2016

Jin Wang et al.

Summary: The research focused on monitoring environmental changes in coastal wetlands in Northeast Italy from 1984 to 2016, revealing the impact of influential factors such as economic development, reserve initiatives, and sea-level rise. The results demonstrated the importance of robust reservation policies in maintaining stability in land use in coastal wetland sites amidst continuous anthropogenic disturbances, while also highlighting the vulnerability of insular wetlands to sea-level rise and the polarization phenomenon in continental coastal wetlands within reserve areas. To protect these wetlands and reduce polarization effects, more efficient measures need to be implemented.

Mapping Large-Scale Mangroves along the Maritime Silk Road from 1990 to 2015 Using a Novel Deep Learning Model and Landsat Data

Yujuan Guo et al.

Summary: Mangroves are crucial ecosystems with their distribution and protection being key elements of the Maritime Silk Road (MSR) Cooperation Project. Utilizing the Capsules-Unet deep learning model with satellite data, researchers successfully mapped the dynamics of mangrove changes along the MSR over a 25-year period, revealing a significant loss in mangrove area primarily attributed to anthropic activities such as agriculture and urban development.

Integrating ecosystem services modeling into effectiveness assessment of national protected areas in a typical arid region in China

Suxiao Li et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the supply of six ecosystem services (ESs) by landscapes in Xinjiang, China, revealing spatial heterogeneity and coverage differences in ES hotspots. Over 50% of ES hotspots were located within Protected Areas (PAs), indicating moderate outcomes in preserving ESs and biodiversity, yet conservation gaps exist. Substantial differences were found in ES supply by different PAs, highlighting the need for a shift towards broader goals encompassing multiple ESs for human well-being.

The analysis of shoreline change dynamics and future predictions using automated spatial techniques: Case of El-Omayed on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt

Mohamed Awad et al.

Summary: The study area in the El-Omayed Biosphere Reserve in Egypt's western Mediterranean coast was analyzed for historical shoreline change rates and future predictions. The findings showed a mix of erosion and accretion along the shoreline, with varying rates of change. The results indicated that urgent and long-term protective measures are needed to prevent partial or complete loss of the shoreline in the future.

Moving up or going under? Differential livelihood trajectories in coastal communities in Vietnam

Hoang Trung Thanh et al.

Summary: The study investigates the livelihood trajectories in two small-scale fishery villages around the Tam Giang Lagoon in Vietnam, focusing on the changes since the introduction of aquaculture in the late 1980s. The findings reveal that the transformational adaptation through aquaculture has differential impacts on fishing and aquaculture-dependent households, leading to unintended consequences for artisanal fishers. The research highlights the need for well-targeted policies to reduce growing inequalities and improve the wellbeing of fishery communities in similar contexts.
