This study investigated impact intervention on coastline its associated habitats Trabzon city, between 1960s 2015. examined coastline, habitat changes area by comparing remote sensing data Geographic Information Technology (GIS) comparison. Additionally, bathymetry were used create 3D model habitats. Analysis this approximately 20 km revealed significant loss roughly 305.06 ha - over 50-year period. encompasses shallow water up 26 m most natural sandy Ground-truthing confirmed that reclaimed has been converted various uses, roads, car parks, sports, recreation facilities. contributes policymakers decision making development practices region.
