Remote Sensing and Emergency Management for Coastal Environmental Disasters
Huh, O.K.
It is estimated that approximately 50% of the worlds population live on the
coastal fringes of landmasses and the likely trend is for this number to increase to 75%
within a decade. For centuries people have been drawn to coastal regions for the rich
soils for agriculture (of deltas and lowlands), the extensive fisheries resources,
transportation opportunities and recreation, and just for the natural beauty of living on
beachfronts. However, the air-sea-land boundary referred to as the coastal zone is
dangerous, comprised of an extremely dynamic, complex physical / biological set of
environments. Worldwide, the coastal zone is characterized by high population densities,
extremely varied and important biological diversity, including coastal fisheries, rich
agricultural lands, and economically important major ports and rivers arteries to the
continent'’ interior. Such economically significant regions located on the fringes of the
continents are prone to major catastrophic hazards that immediately affect large segments
of the population and have lasting impacts on a nation’s economy....

Sea Level Measurement And Analysis in the Western Indian Ocean. National Reports. Comores, French Indian Ocean Islands & Somalia
During the fourth session of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission's RegionalCommittee for the Co-operative Investigations in the North and Central Western IndianOcean (IOCINCWIO) held in Mombasa, Kenya in May 1997, a project proposal entitled "Sea Level data and Information in the IOCINCWIO region" was submitted and endorsed.Subsequently the Kenya Marine & Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRl) and the Instituteof Marine Sciences of the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania prepared a detailed proposal which was approved for funding by IOC within the framework of the IOC-Sida-Flanders Marine Science programme.
