Coastal erosion dynamics along the central coastline of Ghana (2000–2024): a DSAS-based assessment of ecosystem service implications and coastal management
Coastal erosion poses a significant threat to ecosystem services and livelihoods along Ghana’s central coastline. A recent study utilizing the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) and Landsat imagery (2000–2024) quantified shoreline change, revealing persistent retreat with mean erosion rates exceeding −1.80 m/year. Spatial variability was substantial, with hotspots identified near Anomabo, Apam, and Winneba. These findings underscore the need for targeted coastal management interventions, including ecosystem restoration and sediment management.
Correction: Shoreline dynamics and equilibrium analysis of an artificial sandy beach in Rizhao, China
This study presents a validated analysis of shoreline dynamics and equilibrium on an artificial sandy beach in Rizhao, China, employing rigorous empirical methods. The research provides measurable insights into coastal stability and resilience, crucial for effective coastal management strategies. Understanding these processes is vital given increasing global pressures on coastlines.
