Implementing a TopoBathy database in MozambiqueJeremy NicholsonCARIS, 115 Waggoners Lane, Fredericton, New Brunswick, E3B 2L4, CanadaJeremy.Nicholson@caris.comAbstractThe geomatics software company CARIS has worked together with the Mozambican Hydrographic office(INAHINA) in a pilot project which successfully implemented a TopoBathy database. The TopoBathy databasecontains combined gridded elevation models of both bathymetric and topographic datasets. The elevation models inthe database can be used for coastal protection, as the impact of natural disasters like flooding can be better forecastedbased on the models.Elevation datasets of the hydrographic and topographic offices in Mozambique were used, but as the available datawas limited, use was also made of public datasets and a method developed by BMT ARGOSS, to acquire bathymetricdepths from satellite images.After a training and consultancy period the TopoBathy database is currently in use at INAHINA.IntroductionThe country of Mozambique has a coastline of about 2700 km. Approximately 20.5 million people, more than60% of the total population, live in coastal areas. In many places this consists of lowlands with sandy beaches, estuariesand mangroves. These conditions mean a high vulnerability of both people and landscape to natural events liketropical cyclones, tsunamis, flooding and sea level rise (Mavume and Bundrit, 2009).Better knowledge of the bathymetry and the topography of the coastal zone can help to take measurements forprotection against these events. In this article a project is described within which a database with combined topographicand bathymetric information is created for two pilot areas in Mozambique. Digital elevation models generatedwith this database, can serve as a basis for better wave run up modelling and coastal zone protection and management.Project contextAfter the devastating tsunami in December 2004 the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission(IOC) has launched the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System. In the framework of this program IOC and theInternational Hydrographic Organization (IHO) initiated the Coast-Map-Indian Ocean (Coast-Map-IO) project.The focus of this project was to increase the capacity of countries around the Indian Ocean to collect and usebathymetric and topographic data, to support management of tsunami risk and other extreme ocean events in coastalareas (Berque and Travin, 2009). With more bathymetric and topographic knowledge, governments are better able toprotect their countries, by building infrastructure like dykes and by preventing people from living in areas that aretoo vulnerable.As part of the Coast-Map-IO project, mapping agencies and hydrographic offices in the region were visited duringjoint IOC/IHO assessment missions, to get a good idea of the current capacities and needs of the different countriesinvolved.Based on the assessment mission in Mozambique, it was suggested that a pilot database with combined topographicand bathymetric data (a TopoBathy database) should be set up and that appropriate means and trainingshould be provided to manage the data. After successful completion the results should be made available to otherparticipating countries. The government agency responsible for this database should be the Mozambican HydrographicOffice: the Instituto Nacional de Hidrografia e Navegação (INAHINA) (Travin, 2008).Based on the above the geomatics software company CARIS has cooperated with INAHINA to accomplish thesetup of this TopoBathy database. In this project a database has been filled with both topographic and bathymetricsurvey data for two defined pilot areas around the Mozambican port cities of Beira and Quelimane. These areas were139
