From the CoastGIS 2013 Co-ChairsWelcome to the 11 th International Symposium for GIS and Computer Mapping for Coastal ZoneManagement, CoastGIS 2013 being held for the second time in Canada, this time on the Pacific Coast atthe University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia, located on the traditional lands of the Coast andStraits Salish peoples.For almost two decades, the CoastGIS series of conferences, supported and endorsed by theInternational Geographical Union’s Commission on Coastal Systems and the International CartographicAssociation, has been bringing together researchers and practitioners who develop and use spatialapplications to support coastal zone management. They have had the opportunity to present theiraccomplishments to their peers, build relationships, and discuss how spatial technology can advance thesustainability for the world’s coasts. The CoastGIS symposia have a remarkable track record ofscholarship producing not only proceedings of each conference but several books based upon the paperspresented. In 2001, in the forward to the book that was published after CoastGIS 2001, Ron Furness, oneof the organizers of the first symposium in Cork, Ireland said “CoastGIS as a gathering will be around forthe foreseeable future.” Having traveled around Europe and the world from Cork, Ireland (1995),Aberdeen, Scotland (1997), Brest, France (1999), Halifax, Canada (2001), Genova, Italy (2003),Aberdeen, Scotland (2005), Santander, Spain (2007), Santa Catarina, Brazil (2009), Ostende, Belgium(2011) to Victoria, Ron’s words continue to ring true.The Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development in the Office of Canada’sAuditor General stated in 2010 “Solid, objective, and accessible information is essential to identify andrespond to the quickening pace and complexity of environmental change, in Canada and globally.” In noother place is this statement more relevant then the changing coast. In no other discipline is it morechallenging then the use and analysis of spatial information to respond to the change on our coasts. Inalignment with the Commissioner’s statement, for CoastGIS 2013, we chose the theme “Monitoring andAdapting to Change on the Coast”. The coast is a dynamic place, but a changing climate and ever greaterpace of human development, often maladapted development, in coastal regions of the world demands theserious discussion of the evidence-based adaptation to change and the need for more and betterinformation from monitoring. Information is needed not only to gain knowledge of the rate and types ofchange that are impacting the coast but information is needed to determine if adaptive actions are havingthe desired effect.To address the theme, we have developed a program leading off with the International Coastal AtlasNetwork (ICAN) followed by a day of hands-on workshops focused on tools for coastal zonemanagement, shorezone mapping, stitching land and sea together, interoperable web services, LiDAR,and statistical and spatial tool boxes. The conference program itself includes three plenary sessionsfeaturing keynote speakers, 10 sessions in two streams with 51 presentations, a poster session with 14posters and a technical tour by boat along Victoria’s coast. As can be seen from the extended abstractsincluded in this volume there are presentations on a wide range of topics relevant to the application ofspatial technologies to coastal zone management and by authors presenting their research from across theglobe including the North America, Europe, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia. In addition tothese proceedings of extended abstracts, some abstracts will be expanded into full peer-reviewed papersand included in one of two special journal issues, Marine Geodesy or Coastal Management Journal.Readers are encouraged to watch out for these special issues which will enhance the scholarly legacy ofCoastGIS. All too often, conferences are stocked with presentations leaving insufficient time formeaningful discussion. For the first time at CoastGIS, we are using the Open Space Technology approachfor constructive engagement on key themes of CoastGIS through break out group sessions.Such a program would not have been possible without a team. We would like to thank RodolpheDevillers, Memorial University of Newfoundland, for his tremendous work in chairing the ProgramCommittee, members of the International Science Committee for reviewing the abstracts and CassandraLee for producing these proceedings. In Victoria, Norma Serra-Sogas was instrumental in liaising withregistrants and coordinating local arrangements. Student volunteers Caty Brandon, Luba Reshitnyk,Rheannon Brooks, Cindy Marven, Rob Newell, and Natalia Ferraz helped to ensure a smooth running ofthe conference. In Halifax, Alexi Westcott, Project Officer with the Atlantic Coastal Zone Information
Steering Committee Secretariat maintained our website at www.coastgis2013.ca. The conference wouldnot be possible without generous support from ESRI, Caris, the Province of British Columbia, theDepartment of Geography at the University of Victoria and the Faculty of Social Science at the Universityof Victoria.Quoting the venerable Ron Furness again; “The main intangible, but nonetheless very real, benefitfrom the series of gatherings has been the camaraderie and consequent networking of the ... contributors.”It is our sincere hope that CoastGIS 2013 will be another opportunity for developing new relationshipsand reinforcing old ones, and building a stronger network of practitioners and users of spatial technologyfor the benefit of society living on our coasts and the coastal ecosystems that sustain us.Rosaline CanessaDepartment of GeographyUniversity of VictoriaVictoria, British ColumbiaAndrew SherinAtlantic Coastal Zone Information Steering Committee SecretariatHalifax, Nova Scotia
