Digital Earth Africa has just launched the "Coastlines Monitoring Service dashboard. Using environmental observation data, it maps and tracks the growth and erosion of the African coastline over time, providing vital insights for decision-makers. With data coverage spanning the entire African coastline over the last 24 years, the service is a valuable resource for monitoring and mapping rates of coastal erosion and change, evaluating the impact of coastal management, as well as modelling responses to changing conditions such as extreme weather events and human development.
This initiative is a world-first and has been uniquely tailored for Africa. While a small number of individual countries across the world may generate similar data for their coastlines, no service matches the consistency and continental scope offered by this coastal monitoring tool for African countries. It sets a new standard for understanding and responding to the challenges posed by changing coastlines in Africa
