1 Use of EO for integrated Coastal Zone Management [ICZM] Prof. George Zalidis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Agriculture Director of the Laboratory of Applied Soil Science Director of the Laboratory of Remote Sensing and GIS Scientific Coordinator of i-bec Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Faculty of Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Environment, School of Agriculture Lab of Remote Sensing, Spectroscopy and GIS Lab of Applied Soil Science

2 WHO WE ARE We are a non-profit, mission oriented international organization linking local and regional communities. OUR MISSION Utilize EO Data Protect Natural Resources applying NEXUS Approach Stakeholer Engagement RD of new Products & Sevices

3 INTRODUCTION Pressures Water quality degradation State Large water bodies are missing Marine Debris ends up in landfills Impact Economic, ecological, public health, aesthetic (coastal communities, maritime activities) Drivers Climate change Human activities Responses Integrated Solutions based on EO data Continuous water quality monitoring and coastal surveillance services based on EO data and improved through novel in-situ data from different sources

4 MONITORING AND REPORTING ON TARGETS AND INDICATORS SOCIENTAL BENEFIT AREAS NATIONAL OFFICIAL STATISTICS BIG DATA DATA FUSION & NOVELTY DETECTION APPROACHES SERVICES

5 TRIPLE HELIX MODEL. Earth in-situ data Low cost sensors, UAVs, big data archiving and advanced processing algorithms. Science and Policy to address gaps. Satellite and Airborne Data Archive Landsat 7/8, SPOT 1-6, ALOS-1 Copernicus Program, Sentinel 1/2

6 CASE STUDIES Mediterranean Gulf Coastal Habitat Mapping i-oyster In situ Tool for Spatial Monitoring RESMALI Remote Sensing for Marine Litter

7 COASTAL HABITAT MAPPING Chemical and Ecological Classification of coastal and transitional water bodies Multi Level Monitoring using state of the art systems Mapping and Detection of Macro algal Blooms Mapping of anthropogenic pressures and their influence to water bodies Implementation of ICZM in Western Mediterranean Gulf

8 MAPPING RESULTS Monitoring of chemical compounds [2000/60/EC] Monitoring of physicochemical and biological parameters [2000/60/EC] Mapping macroalgae population using Sat images and spectral libraries

9 i-oyster Fully Autonomous Water Telemetry Sensing System High temporal and spatial resolution data Rapid environmental assessment Algae & other water quality parameters Water depth Hot spot detection Benthos Plankton Sediment Water Quality

10 DEPTH (M) DEPTH (M) CHLOROPHYLL A OXYGEN i-oyster RESULTS i-oyster s deployment Monitoring Environmental Health Indicators Chlorophyll a DISTANCE Dissolved Oxygen DISTANCE Near Real Time Monitoring of priority substances according the European Water Framework Directive 200/60/EC in conjunction with sensory early warning system. Telemetry Data Reliability Samplers & sensors are calibrated and results are validated at i-bec s accredited Chemical Laboratory Accredited priority substances measurements from active and passive sampling Water in-situ Databases Capable of delivering in-situ data [OGC WaterML], compatible with GEOSS databases i-bec owns and operates information system through a Data Hub

11 i-oyster RS Integration of Space borne and earth in situ EO data Path 1.5 km

12 MARINE LITTER [ML] IN MEDITERRANEAN Review potential measurement technics and associated technologies Define the requirements for RSof plastic ML Conceptual design of a remote sensing methodology to satisfy the defined requirements Extract spectral features of plastic ML

13 EO TOOLS AND EXPERIMENTAL PLAN Unmanned Aerial Vehicles able to carry out sensors of various payload Very high resolution RGB cameras Optical sensors in the vis-swir region Hyperspectral sensor in the region of LWIR [8-12 μm] A proof of concept to the thermal idea Spectral libraries contain meticulous recordings of emissivity reference spectra from samples coupled with precise ground truth observations

14 NEXT STEPS ENGAGEMENT OF THE COMPLETE ECOSYSTEM Advocate Promote science and transfer of know-how and foster national ownership of SDGs Working together with selected GEO initiatives ECO SYSTEM Engage Aware Develop and promote a tools to achieve SDGs in terms of SBAs

15 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Provide support to Region of Interest in measuring, monitoring and achieving specific indicators with regards to SDGs Promote to uptake of existing capacities Support the effective integration of Earth Observation capacities in the RoI [Develop flagship projects] Facilitate the engagement of the complete ecosystem of EO stakeholders
