Abstract
Coastal videomonitoring allows the autonomous and sustained collection, analysis and storage of high-resolution digital pictures, that are then used to observe and quantify a wide range of coastal phenomena. MOBIMS at SOCIB incorporates the SIRENA coastal imaging system developed at the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies, IMEDEA (CSIC-UIB).
