Metadata : EO8 Coastal Ecosystems and Landscape Commom Indicator 16-Lenght of coastal subject to physical disturbance due to the influence of manmade structures-Istria County

Monitoring of the Common Indicator 16 focuses on measuring the length of artificial coastline and its share in total coastline of the Istria County, on a geographical scale 1:5000. The length of artificial coastline has been calculated as the sum of segments on reference coastline identified as the intersection of polylines representing manmade structures with reference coastline ignoring polylines representing manmade structures with no intersection with reference coastline. The minimum distance between coastal defence structures is set to 10 m in order to classify such segments as natural, i.e. if the distance between two adjacent coastal defence structures is less than 10 m, all the segment including both coastal defence structures is classified as artificial. The length of natural coastline of the Istria County is 490,1538 km or 85%, while the total length of constructed coastline of the Istria County is 86.5292 km or 15%
