Resumen

The Lithuanian coastal area is divided by the jetties of the Port of Klaipeda and represents two geomorphologically distinct parts. Local companies and institutions contribute to shaping the coastal area through infrastructure development. Awareness of the changes in the coastal zone can play an important role in the planning and economic feasibility of activities in the Klaipeda coastal region. Therefore, developing a notification system that provides long? and short?term monitoring data for the Lithuanian coastal zone is necessary. In order to do so, the authors intend to create a system that should provide a link between long? and short?term observation and monitoring data for stakeholders, such as wind speed and direction, wave direction and significant height, water and air temperature, atmospheric pressure, sediment size, and distribution, height above sea level, shoreline position, beach width, change in beach protection measures, beach wreckage, and marine debris management, in order to provide timely notifications to end users.
