A field assessment was carried out in May 2023 a natural protected area South Italy to investigate the real-time behavior and fate of common marine litter items at different depths nearshore foreshore under low energetic conditions. The data were also compared with theoretical values calculated using formulations considering Stokes drift current, wind-induced current breaking position. wind approached from N W, ranging 2.4 3.8 m/s. propagated significant wave height ranged 14 21 cm, an...
Beach litter (BL) poses a significant threat to coastal ecosystems and marine biodiversity. Monitoring its density, composition, distribution is crucial develop effective management strategies support the sustainable use of beach environments. Traditional in situ visual surveys allow detailed identification classification BL items but are often limited spatial coverage require time investment. Recent advancements, including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), have enabled more efficient...
Coastal erosion and its impacts on the involved communities is a topic of great scientific interest that also reflects need for modern as well cost time-effective methodologies to be integrated into or even substitute traditional investigation methods. The present study based an approach involves use data derived from UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) surveys. illustrates long- short-term shoreline evolution Molise coast (southern Italy) then focuses two selected beach stretches (Petacciato...
Coastal areas characterized by sandy shorelines are among the most dynamic environments and subject to deep rapid changes over time under influence of natural anthropic factors.To deepen understanding potential future development a coast, therefore better outline sustainable coastal management measures, reconstruction its geomorphological anthropogenic evolution, current state possible trends crucial importance. For this purpose, we have examined coast Molise region in Italy, which is...
