Shoreline Change Analysis along the Tahaddart Coast (NW Morocco): A Remote Sensing and Statistics-Based Approach

Contribution of remote sensing and GIS in the study of the evolution of Anza beach in Agadir (Morocco)

“…This integration makes it simpler to monitor changes to the shoreline and in order to thoroughly analyze the beach morphology at Anza, we also collected topographic and bathymetric data for our study on beach morphology. The information gleaned from this study will direct future conservation efforts and is expected to significantly advance our comprehension of coastal dynamics [1,2].…”

“…It is calculated from information from the two oldest and two most recent shorelines at each transect. The formula used to calculate the NSM is as follows [2]:…”

“…a) EPR (End Point Rate): This is the simplest measure and calculates the rate of change by dividing the distance of coastline movement by the period of time between the oldest and the most recent shoreline. The expression used to calculate the EPR is as follows [2]:…”

“…The purpose of the study is to improve knowledge of the anthropogenic and natural processes that affect this particular shoreline [1]. The findings are projected to greatly advance the sciences of geology, hydrology, and climatology and serve as a solid platform for the sustainable management of coastal resources [1,2].…”
