ABSTRACT Bracs, M.A.; Turner, I.L.; Splinter, K.D.; Short, A.D.; Lane, C.; Davidson, M.A.; Goodwin, I.D.; Pritchard, T., and Cameron, D., 2016. Evaluation of opportunistic shoreline monitoring capability utilizing existing “surfcam” infrastructure. This paper investigates the opportunistic repurposing of existing low-elevation recreational surf cameras (“surfcams”) to provide quantitative shoreline position data. Shoreline data are of fundamental importance in coastal management; however, intensive effort is required to routinely sample this dynamic environmental parameter. Established (and generally research-oriented) coastal imaging systems provide shoreline data in higher temporal resolution across broader spatial scales than is achievable by traditional survey techniques. The key benefits of adopting surfcams for shoreline monitoring are the wide availability of existing stations and their relatively low cost. In addition to the known challenges of optical remote sensing, there are further constraints...
