Abstract

Coastlines have hosted numerous civilizations since the earliest times of mankind due to the advantages they offer such as natural resources, transportation, arable areas, seafood, trade, and biodiversity. Coastal regions should be monitored vigilantly by planners and control mechanisms, and any changes in these regions should be detected with its human or natural origin, and future plans and possible interventions should be formed in these aspects to maintain ecological balance, sustainable development, and planned urbanization.
