“…It discontinuously appears around the mean sea level in front of La Victoria, which is considered a reef-supported beach [40]. Several nourishment works were carried out on the beach over the last two decades because of the reduction in the river sediment supply [41,42] in order to prevent erosion and damage to tourism infrastructure.…”

Video-Monitoring Tools for Assessing Beach Morphodynamics in Tidal Beaches

Beach behaviour and evolution are controlled by a large number of factors, being susceptible to human-derived pressures and the impacts of climate change. In order to understand beach behaviour at different scales, systematic monitoring programs that assess shoreline and volumetric changes are required. Video-monitoring systems are widely used in this regard, as they are cost-effective and acquire data automatically and continuously, even in bad weather conditions. This work presents a methodology to use the basic products of low-cost IP video cameras to identify both the cross-shore and long-shore variability of tidal beaches. Shorelines were automatically obtained, digital elevation models (DEMs) were generated and validated with real data, and the outputs were combined to analyse beach behaviour from a morphodynamic perspective. The proposed methodology was applied to La Victoria Beach (SW Spain) for the analysis of beach variations over a 5-year period. The combination of shoreline position analysis and data from DEMs facilitates understanding and provides a complete overview of beach behaviour, revealing alongshore differences in an apparently homogeneous beach. Furthermore, the methods used allowed us to inter-relate the different processes occurring on the beach, which is difficult to achieve with other types of techniques.

“…Apart from hydrodynamic considerations, it is important to evaluate damage and understand the processes responsible for the coastal effects of storms. This can be assessed by post-storm field measurement of changes produced by an energetic event, using high-resolution topographic methods (Almeida et al, 2012;Benavente et al, 2013;Schubert et al, 2015).…”

“…C adiz Bay is a shallow (maximum depth of 20 m) mesotidal basin (maximum tide 3.7 m) with a mean wave height of 1 m (Benavente et al, 2002). This coastal area has a subtropical climate with a mean annual temperature of 19 C and the prevailing winds blow from the West and East (Del Río et al, 2013).…”
