The patterns of use and frequentation of beaches are a useful tool in coastal management and planning. The aim of this article is to apply the methodology for the analysis of physical carrying capacity in 16 beaches of the island of Menorca, based on the values in m²/user recommended in 2000. A multi-temporal analysis of the evolution of the beaches is carried out using qualitative variables that allow obtaining the trends of the beaches with parameters that analyze their management and occupation (2000-2017). The results obtained show that the beaches have acceptable carrying capacities and that environmental management, their publicity, and the services provided condition their spatio-temporal evolution. The methodology allows establishing future scenarios through the use of the analyzed variables.

This study analyzes the historical management of coastal dune fields on the Catalan coast to understand their changes over time.

This study analyzes the historical transformation and current situation of the dune landscape in Catalonia.

The study examines human influence on the evolution of beach-dune systems in the Balearic Islands, focusing on afforestation with Pinus halepensis. Historically, actions have been taken to stabilize these areas, significantly impacting the morphology and dynamics of the systems. Through a historical review and analysis of 31 such systems, it is evident that the presence of Pinus halepensis is largely associated with human interventions, significantly affecting vegetation structure and biodiversity conservation.

This study analyzes geohistorical sources to understand coastal management of Sant Pere Pescador beach in the Gulf of Roses.

Orthophoto (mosaic of rectified aerial images) of the coastal strip (total or partial), with a resolution generally between 10 and 15 cm above the ground, generated from photogrammetric flights.

The study analyzes the floristic composition and vegetation structure in the dune spaces of the Llobregat Delta, highlighting the changes caused by natural and anthropic factors. The impacts of exotic species, especially invasive ones, are also discussed.

The dune system of La Pletera has been studied using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to assess the effects of sand traps and revegetation. The volumetric data obtained from UAV RGB sensors was compared with data from the previous Lidar flight.

Line that identifies the limit between the sea water and the emerged surface of the Catalan coast, classified according to the characteristics of the terrain found in each place.

This study provides an overview of the last 40 years of use, and in many cases abuse, of natural resources in Catalonia, with proposals for sustainable management.
