ABSTRACT
The beaches of the Catalan coast support an intense human and economic activity. To the extent that economic activity on beaches must be regulated. Administrations must be able to determine whether this activity can be carried out in conditions of safety and continuity of service, while ensuring a continuous improvement in the environmental quality of ecosystems and greater resilience of the coast to the effects of climate change.
We propose to create a tool that allows us to make predictions about the future configuration of the beaches in time horizons between 6 months and a year to validate the reliability of the tool and if so progressively reduce the time horizons to 3 months and 1 month.
