Aim of Coastal Mapping System
Why mapping tool at O& C?
Definition of Words
Mapping of CPP, the CPZ boundaries
Auditing of structures on the CPP
What is on the Coastal Web Viewer System?
Benefits of the Web Viewer
Why use of GIS at Oceans & Coasts?
Destruction of beach landscape
Destruction of natural coastal habitat
Wastewater discharges
Offshore waste disposal
Unplanned (random and scattered) development
Conflicting land uses & informal coastal access
Lack of awareness of the public about the importance of our
coastal biodiversity.
As economy on coastal zones increases there are
increased pressures on natural resources which makes very
difficult to foresee the environmental dynamics without
proper scientific and high level technological tools (GIS).
Solving the issues above
O&C is solving management conflicts through optimal
solutions by integrating recent tools such as Geographic
Information Systems (GIS), Image Processing
Systems(IPS), Remote Sensing (RS), with Data
Management, Data Analysis and Modelling & this looks to
be a promising exercise
Definition of Words o Coastal Protection Zone:-
• 100 meters above High Water Mark in Urban Areas
• 1 kilometers above High Water Mark in Rural Areas
o Coastal Public Property:-
• Territorial sea is 12 Nautical Miles from
• 200 nautical miles below High Water Mark
Aim of Coastal Mapping System
Clear identification and Determination of CPZ & CPP boundaries as stipulated on ICM Act (Act 24 of 2008)
Mapping of all physical structures on both CPZ & CPP
Determination of Environmental Assets & Coastal Systems
Baseline report on state own land & structures within CPP for Auditing purposes.
Baseline report for future coastal land uses & development
System development with reporting functionality
Mapping of CPZ &CPP
o Mapping boundaries of CPZ & CPP
o Mapping physical structures within CPZ & CPP
Mapping Project (Auditing of Structure's within
CPZ & CPP)
Auditing illegal structures on CPZ
To report about all physical features on the CPZ & CPP
Coastal Web Viewer
Enables you to Bookmark
Enables you to View coastal features that are in CPZ &
CPP
Identify tool
Co-ordinate plotting
Spatial Navigation (searching tool)
Drawing and Measuring
Reporting functionality about features in CPZ & CPP
http://41.76.211.163/flexviewers/deaviewer/
Benefits of Mapping tool Open use by all officials under constraints of GIS
software's
Keep status quo of coastal management
Serve as tool for proper coastal planning and management of illegal structures
Reporting functionality about physical features in CPZ as well as CPP
Answers many GIS questions as WHAT?, WHERE? & HOW?
