Abstract

A ?Coastal Omni-Line? approach is introduced, synthesizing multi-method coastal data to 30-m spaced transects along a single baseline shoreline, designed to address a variety of coastal research-management problems at multiple scales, from ?primary? (regional) to ?tertiary? (local) compartment scale. This approach is applied to the Australian state of Victoria, using data from the Victorian Coastal Monitoring Program, and other sources (e.g., satellite imagery, wave models, coastal morphology). Example applications include: (1) a regional assessment of shoreline trends, shoreline type and wave height; and (2) a local-scale application designed to detect erosion hotspots. Due to the flexibility and scalability of this approach, it is recommended that is be adopted in other jurisdictions, at national- to global-scale.
