Contribution of remote sensing and GIS in the study of the evolution of Anza beach in Agadir (Morocco)

Abstract

The Moroccan coastline, in particular the Atlantic coast, presents a unique geographical and environmental context that requires special attention. Beaches in this region are subject to natural and anthropogenic forces that influence their dynamic evolution. This study focuses on the in-depth analysis and monitoring of Anza beach in Agadir, Morocco. The aim is to provide an in-depth understanding of the evolution of the Anza coastline. Shoreline analysis quantifies shoreline variations and changes over time using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System tool (DSAS). This analysis provides important information on the erosion and accumulation processes that influence the stability of Anza beach.
