Beaches of the Etruscan Coast<\/div><\/div>

Beach Monitoring through Aerial Photogrammetry<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The MER Project<\/strong>, led by ISPRA, involved the study and analysis of the spatial and temporal variation of five beaches along the Etruscan Coast in Tuscany<\/strong>, through high-resolution aerial photogrammetry<\/strong> surveys.<\/p>\n

GeoScape contributed to monitoring activities and coastal morphological analysis, supporting the assessment of the evolution of Posidonia oceanica banquettes<\/strong> and the dynamic processes characterizing the Tuscan coastline.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Morphological Monitoring and Spatio-Temporal Analysis<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The objective of the project was to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Analyze the evolution of Posidonia oceanica banquettes<\/li>\n
  • Assess morphological variations of beaches<\/li>\n
  • Study coastal dynamics over time<\/li>\n
  • Support sustainable shoreline management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The project was carried out over a period of 6 months<\/strong>, through 3 photogrammetric surveys<\/strong>, enabling a detailed comparison across different seasonal conditions.<\/p>\n

    Aerial Photogrammetry for Coastal Monitoring<\/strong><\/h6>\n

    The use of aerial photogrammetry<\/strong> made it possible to: <\/p>\n

      \n
    • Reconstruct high-precision digital models<\/li>\n
    • Analyze the spatial distribution of banquettes<\/li>\n
    • Quantify volumetric and morphological changes<\/li>\n
    • Monitor natural processes using a non-invasive approach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This methodology represents a strategic tool for coastal environmental monitoring,<\/strong> particularly in ecologically sensitive areas such as the Etruscan Coast.<\/p>\n

      An Institutional Collaboration Project<\/strong><\/h6>\n

      The project, coordinated by ISPRA<\/strong>, involved the municipalities of: <\/p>\n

        \n
      • Cecina<\/li>\n
      • Rosignano<\/li>\n
      • San Vincenzo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        An example of synergy between public institutions, scientific research, and specialized technical expertise<\/strong>, aimed at the protection and sustainable management of Tuscan beaches.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
