Abstract

The coastline is a critical element in human occupation, environmental biodiversity, economic activity, and recreational services. Coastal dynamics are a complex phenomenon that requires continuous monitoring to better understand the processes involved and make appropriate decisions. Measuring the coastline is a critical task in this process because it allows for the determination of the current position of the coast and its temporal trend. Citizen science is a promising solution, and CoastSnap is a recent creation in this field. However, the code that allows for image analysis requires the proprietary platform MATLAB for operation. This barrier could be minimized by using free alternatives to MATLAB, such as Python. The objective of this work is to develop a computer tool that enables the measurement and prediction of coastline change from images obtained from various sources. The product that we aim to obtain by applying the developed methodology has great potential to be applied in different coastal contexts of countries with limited resources and responds to research being carried out at the environmental observatory CostAtenas in Matanzas.
