Modelisation de la Dynamique du Trait de Cote sur une Portion de la Cote Ouest Cameroun Allant de Batoke a Seme Beach par Imagerie Landsat de 1979 a 2018

Abstract

medium term, the study shows an advance of the coastline with an average speed of evolution equal to +0.75 m/year between 2000 and 2018. In the same period, the zone experienced a short-term constant erosion between 2000-2005 and 2005-2008 with an average rate of-1.12 m/year, a slight stability between 2008 and 2012 with a speed of-0.08 m/year, while from 2012 to 2016 it has undergone an average evolution of +2.44 m/year. A forecast of the phenomenon in 2028 has given a coastline position of 10.90 m compared to its current position, which could jeopardize hotel infrastructure such as: Seme Beach Hotel; Madison Beach; Etisah Beach and the fishing camps of Batoké village during episodes of high tide.
