Preciso Coast

Cognitive Framework of marine and coastal areas and public defense works.

Urban expansion creates increasing pressure on coastal areas, along with land use change, growing tourism and construction of large infrastructures.
To control this phenomenon it is absolutely imperative to characterize and monitor the physical situation of the coastal system, from the prospective of sustainable growth at regional, provincial and local level.

Preciso® coast offers an update cognitive framework on the state of the coast and public defence works.

Tecnical characteristic

Preciso® coast permits the classification of every length of coast regarding its morphology and other variations (expansion, retraction or stability).
Works on ports are identified and classified according to type and use (industrial/commercial port, quay, dock, military port, etc.), while public defence works are surveyed and categorized by type (submerged and raised rocks, armoured delta, etc.)
