A fundamental aspect of coastal research is the
collection of thorough and accurate baseline information through the
conduction of structured shoreline surveys and coastal inventories. Be
it information on shore type and extent, damage or potential damage,
behavior and knowledge of coastal user groups, or monitoring of coastal
change, surveys play an integral role in the gathering of such data.
