Inhoud:
The development and expansion of population centers in coastal regions is leading to detrimental consequences including critical losses in habitat and productivity, increases in fish diseases, water and sediment contamination, and exposure of human populations to natural catastrophes. Due to the socio-economic importance of the coastal zone, there is a need to manage coastal regions and associated resources for sustainable use. First we review the status of current and future remote sensing systems which can provide the resource and environmental information required by coastal managers to accomplish this task. Next, we describe applications of remote sensing to a diversity of coastal management problems, including invasive wetland species, littoral processes, fisheries management and coastal hazard mitigation. Particular emphasis is placed on the integration of remote sensing with numerical models, including watershed models, groundwater models, surface water models, circulation and wave prediction models.
