Coastal video monitoring

The Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project has entered a Research Agreement with the University of New South Wales (UNSW) to operate an ARGUS Coastal Imaging system to provide continuous quantitative monitoring of the southern Gold Coast beaches, Tweed River Entrance, Duranbah Beach and Letitia Spit.

The use of this video imagery monitoring technique provides the ability for coastal managers to continuously monitor, document and quantify coastline changes. In addition, the highly visual nature of the growing image database facilitates public awareness, education and information dissemination to the local and wider community.

The ARGUS coastal imaging system has been in a state of development since 1986 by the Coastal Imaging Laboratory of Oregon State University (USA), Delft Hydraulics (Netherlands) and the UNSW.
