  2. The Isle of Wight

  3. IWCCE The Isle of Wight Centre for the Coastal Environment (IWCCE) is a department of the Isle of Wight Council and undertakes activities on a local, regional, national and transnational scale in relation to coastal and geotechnical issues.

  4. European Projects

  5. Messina MESSINA: Managing European Shorelines and Sharing Information on Nearshore Areas (2003-2006). Ultimately, MESSINA aims at maximizing the benefits of future investments in coastline management and raise the public awareness about the need to manage the coastline in a sound and sustainable way.

  6. Component 2 – monitoring & modelling the shoreline To inventory and analyse existing coastline monitoring tools (ground-based, shipborne, airborne tools) and modelling instruments (hydrodynamic and geomorphological) used in Europe to measure and anticipate coastline evolution, as well as to establish and disseminate technical guidelines to be used by local coastal managers.

  7. Monitoring Techniques - bathymetric survey side scan sonar grab sampling Shipborne Airborne Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IfSAR or InSAR) LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) Airborne multispectral (MS) camera systems Airborne thermal infrared radiometers (TIR) Hyperspectral sensors.

  10. Conclusions The MESSINA practical guide offers an overview of coastal monitoring and modelling techniques whilst also providing information on costs and potential applications to real-life case studies. This is intended to be of value to those administrations or local authorities with little or no expert knowledge in this field and also provide a new perspective to allow local authorities to do existing work in a more efficient and effective manner.
