In Capbreton, in the Landes, to be able to assess the erosion of the coast in real time, amateur photographers are called upon. Scientists need data and do not necessarily have enough personnel to mobilize on an erosion site for a long period. In Capbreton, in the moors, the sand of the dune is in constant movement according to the tides, the storms. But global warming amplifies the loss of sand. The Capbreton dune recedes, moves or decreases. Photos taken regularly demonstrate indisputably the effect of global warming. This is why scientists appeal to amateur photographers and other visitors to the site.
A specific terminal is installed at a specific location to take the photos. The photos taken at this terminal over the days, weeks and even years show the displacement of the sandbanks and the erosion of the dunes. All you have to do is send your photos via the website noted on the terminal. Valuable data to study are thus collected for scientists and the future.
