Purpose: The objective of this study is, generically, to provide data and knowledge to: Facilitate the management of the first miles of sea, continuously land-sea. This includes the comprehensive management of beaches, equipment and furniture, cleaning and dune areas; Develop any activity that has an impact on the coastal area; Carry out urban and territorial planning studies, for the design and assessment of the environmental impact of infrastructures, etc.; Evaluate the dynamics of sand movements in both the emerged and submerged parts of the beaches, in order to predict the effects of their evolution on management and planning, as well as promote studies on the general dynamics and generalized evolution of sand; Know the evolution of the coastline and the managed surface; Provide information that contributes to promoting actions and projects to improve adaptive capacity in the face of the impacts of climate change; Facilitate knowledge, by the public administration, the scientific world and the public, of the morphology of the coast. Specifically, the study proposes to: Assess the intensity of recreational boating use along the Baix Empordà coastline and propose sustainable management measures to mitigate its environmental impact.
