LITTOSAT : Monitoring coastal areas in France
Description
LITTOSAT aims to monitor the spatial evolution of coastal vegetation in near-real-time, providing managers of coastal territories and marine protected areas with a dashboard for informed decision-making. The project introduces new satellite products, a visualization interface, and change detection functions to enhance understanding of coastal habitats and biodiversity protection.
Details
LITTOSAT provides high added-value monitoring products, offering monthly information on seabed nature, shallow water depth, and turbidity. The project also explores very high spatial resolution (VHRT) products for areas of interest. Change detection functions assess seasonal changes and evaluate recent changes based on Sentinel-2 images.
The project focuses on coastal regions of France, particularly Brittany and Normandy, with specific study areas including the Parc Naturel Marin d'Iroise and La Rade de Brest.
Finally, an intuitive, open-source online visualization platform is provided, to disseminate the results to other potential end-users.
