Issue Questions addressed CSI Argus input Field measurement
2 Position of coastline ok? 2 How much is the Spit tip Evolving?
nearshore bathymetry * beach width ** shoreline position ***
intertidal beach profile 2 sub-tidal profiles 3-4 waterlines 1, dunefoot 2 waterlines 1
beach profiling,waves,tide nearshore profiling beach surveys, wave set-up beach surveys, wave set-up Coastal Safety & Maintenance
2 Are dunes stable? dune profile (dune height) ** shadows of dunes 3 dune surveys
3 Is beach width adequate? beach width *** shoreline position *
waterline 1, dunefoot 2 waterlines 1
beach surveys beach profiling set-up measurements(waves,tide)
3 Is the beach crowded? density of seaside users ** (no technique 2) beach users survey Recreation & Tourism
3 Is it safe to swim? 3 Swimming hazard areas (physical)
longshore current velocities *** rip current velocities *** rip location and spacings *** wave height */ wave type *
longshore array – foam 2 cross-shore array 2-3 bar and rip locations 1 ? 3-4 / 2
current measurements, drifters longshore set-up gradients beach surveys
Shipping & Navigation
1 Is navigation channel suitable?
nearshore bathymetry *** dredging volume and position***
sub-tidal profiles 3-4 intertidal beach profile 2

3 Is there pollution on the beach?

The bold questions refer to the strategic objectives, while the normal questions refer to the operational objectives. - The questions addressed are first prioritized for the Spanish situation at El Puntal Spit. Strategic objectives are ordered to their importance: *** means high importance, * means low importance.- Normal questions are referred to the end user involved/interested: 1 Santander Port Authority – 2 Ministry of Environment – 3 Municipality of Somo and Santander
The CSIs are also ordered to their importance: *** means high priority, * means low priority.The final CSIs for El Puntal Spit are underlined. The ARGUS input is classified to its degree of success. 1 means easy to execute and leading to a good result, 4 means difficult to determine (technology not available at present) and probably difficult to reach a success within the time of the COASTVIEW project.The final decision of the selection of CSIs is also based on the ARGUS input and Field measurements (ground-truth) possibilities.

The video techniques used to achieve the period of dredging and the volume are:
http://www.gioc.unican.es
• The first techniques is called time-stack and provide the period of dredged with the morphological evolution of cross-shore profiles.
• Furthermore, the volume of dredged is fixed with mapping intertidal bathymetry technique.
