It was possible, also, to understand the effects of shore protection structures on coastline changes and on the ports development from a large scale point-of-view. Since behind the study area, along the coast, the land is very sensitive to rain erosion, significant images were selected, among many others, showing the effects of meteorological events on the sea. In particular, images showing the effects of rivers silt flooding along the coast were processed, in order to obtain information on the changes of the distribution in the above mentioned parameters in the sea water. From the analysis of these images, much useful information on the coastal areas sensitive to deposit and erosion was acquired.
