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 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.

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.

Orthoimage representing the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), with a resolution of 1 m. This index makes it possible to estimate the quantity, quality and development of vegetation, based on the normalized difference between the radiation reflected in the infrared band of the electromagnetic spectrum with respect to the red band of the visible spectrum. This set of information is distributed in 2 by-products: Real NDVI orthoimage, where each pixel takes the real value of the index in question (between -1 and 1), in such a way that it facilitates exhaustive studies but requires advanced software; 8-bit NDVI orthoimage, where each pixel takes the value of the index in question but discretized to an integer range between 0 and 200, so that it facilitates an overview.

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.

Regular grid model of the emerged coastal strip, with a resolution of 50 cm, which expresses the orthometric altitudes of the terrain with the existing constructions in the territory (buildings, walls and other structures).

This study assesses the changes in coastal dune landscapes in Catalonia, based on photographic, cartographic, and documentary sources between 1890 and 1960, comparing them with the current status of dunes.
