Littoralization has accelerated in recent decades, concentrating jobs, housing, and infrastructure along the coast and straining both urban services and fragile coastal ecosystems.

Researchers surveyed the littorals to monitor changes in biodiversity after the storm.

Researchers surveyed the biodiversity of the littoral zone during low tide.

Scientists study littoral zones to understand coastal biodiversity and monitor pollution.
