A video monitoring network system for better risk management along Africa’s coasts
Published: April 6, 2023 12.55pm SAST
Regular and long-term monitoring of coastal areas is a prerequisite to avoiding or mitigating the
impacts of climate and human-driven hazards. In Africa, where populations and infrastructures are
particularly exposed to risk, a network of low-cost, multi-variable, shore-based video camera systems has been installed. This network is a solid platform for the development of inter-disciplinary observations for
resources and ecology (such as fisheries, and sargassum landing), erosion and flooding, early warning
systems during extreme events, and science-based coastal infrastructure management for sustainable
future coasts.
