Coastal land use

Description

  • Digital map of coastal land use, considering the CLC level 3 classes, obtained by automatic processing of satellite and ancillary data, followed by subsequent refinement by photointerpretation

Operating scenarios

  • Base knowledge
  • Post event
  • Ordinary Monitoring
  • Extraordinary Monitoring
