Abstract

Marine habitats are comprised of zones termed coastal terrestrial, open water, and the ocean bottom until several meters deep. Besides fish, these habitats are home to diverse flora and fauna, with swathes of sandy beaches and sand dunes spread across the globe critical for the survival of many endangered species e.g., turtles, dugongs, migratory birds etc

Shoreline and beach surveys can today benefit from the state-of-the-art GNSS monitoring techniques, which directly offer both two- and three-dimensional data sets within a short period of time.
