High-resolution imagery guarantees excellent quality of coastal topographic surveys. Alongside the rapid progress of remote sensing, digital photogrammetry and image processing in recent years using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide outstanding opportunities for mapping the coastal zone, including the coverage of difficult-to-access areas, as is the Northern Bulgarian coast. Both spatial planning and integrated coastal zone management require highly accurate and up-to-date geodata, being among the main reaso...

Over 30% of the Bulgarian Black Sea shoreline is characterized as a depositional type of coast. A significant portion of it represents well-formed sandy beaches and dune fields, falling under the protection of the European ecological network NATURA 2000. The coastal sector of the Lower Kamchia Depression hosts the longest beach-dune system on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast called Kamchia-Shkorpilovtsi beach. The main task of the project "Mapping and monitoring of depositional areas along the Northern Bulgarian Blac...
