Shoreline position
The University of New South Wales maintains an ARGUS Coastal Imaging System on behalf of the project. Photographic images are captured hourly from high elevation locations (such as apartment towers) to show current beach and surf conditions. Latest images can be accessed via our Coastal video monitoring page. The images are also processed and rectified to real-world coordinates to allow for mapping of features such as shoreline positions. This information is used to analyse short and longer term shoreline changes.
Latest shoreline maps of the project beaches on the University of NSW Water Research Laboratory website can be accessed directly through links below.
