Abstract |
: |
This study was conducted through the analysis of the spatial changes of the coastal environment for Shoaiba region from the period 2002 to 2008 aiming to understand the environmental characteristics of the area, to classify the anthropogenic activities and to determine their effects on the coastal zone with its special nature and condition that is very sensitive to modern spatial changes. The present study is based on field data collected to monitor the present situation and those sent by the French satellite SPOT V and the American satellite LAND SAT V for different years to monitor the rate of spatial changes and their classification along the coast of the studied area. The study showed an increasing retrogression of the cover vegetative area especially the mangrove during the period of 2002 to 2008. The cover vegetative areas ratios in the Open Shoaiba, Closed Shoaiba and South Sauda region, are 56%, 48% and 65%, respectively. |
