Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

Remote sensing is very suitable for coral reef monitoring as it provides information about the configuration and composition of the coral reef; enables the monitoring of the biophysical parameters of the seas and oceans in which the coral reefs occur; and supports the detection of changes over time of these elements. This remote sensing-derived data is integrated in a Geographic Information System (GIS) together with additional environmental information. The GIS not only forms an inventory of all available information but is also used as a tool to analyze this information in order to support integrated coastal zone management (ICZM). The example is given of a risk assessment map constructed for the coral reefs offshore Hurghada, Egypt, indicating the coastal zones most endangered by human activities. It is shown that about 86% of the marine, coastal area near Hurghada is at medium to high risk of being deteriorated.
