WMS service for visualization in accordance with the requirements of the INSPIRE Network Services Regulation that allows to view information related to Theme 3 - Orthoimagery, of Annex II of the INSPIRE Directive, in the geographical area of Catalonia. This information is part of the official geographic reference sets in Catalonia as mentioned in Annex 2 (Group II - 3 Orthoimagery) of Decree 62/2010, of May 18, of the Cartographic Plan of Catalonia. The service allows the visualization of the orthoimages of 25 cm of resolution (2,500 scale) most recents of Catalonia produced by the Cartographic and Geologic Institute of Catalonia (ICGC). The right of access or connection to the service is total (Level A, as established in the PCC).

This study analyzes the sediment loss associated with the removal of Syringodium filiforme berms from 10 beaches in the Dominican Republic. The results show that approximately 63.8% of the removed volume corresponds to interspersed sediment. This type of management has a continuous morphological impact, affecting the stability of the system's sediment balance.

This study analyzes the impact of the distribution of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) on the beaches of the Dominican Republic and its relationship with coastal erosion and the dynamics of beach-dune systems. A total of 31 beach-dune systems were compared using 17 qualitative variables to assess the influence of palm trees planted for agricultural or touristic purposes on beach morphology, anthropic occupation, and dynamics. The results indicate that beaches with palm trees planted for touristic purposes exhibit higher compaction, slumping, and erosion, as well as lower resilience in the beach-dune system. These beaches also have a higher presence of tourist complexes, mechanical cleaning, and removal of vegetal debris, which contributes to the alteration of the beach profile and native vegetation. Palm trees can also act as wave flow accelerators, exacerbating sediment loss and increasing the risk of the palms themselves falling, which entails personal risks. It is concluded that the removal of coconut palms and comprehensive beach restoration, including the recovery of dune fronts and associated vegetation, are necessary actions to improve the stability and dynamics of Dominican coasts. Furthermore, the importance of developing planning and management strategies that promote the conservation and restoration of beach-dune systems in touristic and agricultural areas is suggested.

Identification of territories characterized by a combination of natural, cultural and symbolic elements, which give them a distinct character from the rest and which are recognized as such by the population. These territories are called landscape units, and they give as much importance to the dynamic, perceptive and experiential elements of the landscape as to the more static and material ones when defining its character.

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.

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

This article updates the floristic knowledge of the species that colonize the beaches and dunes of the Catalan coast. The study identifies typical species of these habitats, as well as those restricted to dunes. A total of 87 dune systems were sampled, identifying 224 species, of which 87 are considered typical of beach and dune habitats, and 34 are exclusive to these environments. The presence of exotic species reflects human impact on these ecosystems.

This study analyzes the evolution of the beach-dune systems in the Balearic Islands from 2000 to 2021, focusing on their geomorphological management.

The Gloria storm affected the Catalan coast between January 19th and 23rd, 2020. The study characterizes the wave climate and the prior morphodynamic conditions, compiles the most notable impacts, and proposes the need for a shift in coastal management towards an ecosystem-based approach.
