Welcome to the Douglas Shire CoastSnap Network!
Welcome to the Douglas Shire CoastSnap community beach monitoring network. We have installed five CoastSnap beach monitoring stations in Douglas Shire to allow the community to record changes to our precious coastline. These stations are located at Cow Bay, Newell Beach, Cooya Beach, Wonga Beach, and Four Mile Beach.
Participating in this program is a snap - all you need to do is download the CoastSnap App (available from Apple and Android App Stores) and visit one of these five stations. The unique camera cradles are specifically designed to control the position of your photo. As more and more photos are taken, your snaps provide a powerful record to enable researchers to understand how our coastline is changing due to processes such as cyclones and storm surges, sea-level rise and human factors. Simply put your smartphone in the camera cradle and take a snap, it's that easy!
What's more, your snaps form part of the global network of CoastSnap stations with over 100 stations worldwide. We thank the community for their involvement and happy (coast)snapping!
Welcome to the University of Hull CoastSnap Network
The University of Hull is working with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council and other stakeholders to establish a community monitoring network around the shores of our region. We have installed 27 CoastSnap monitoring stations in locations around the county, to enable community members to capture how our dynamic world is changing over time using their smartphones. These stations are located in clusters around Bempton, Flamborough and Sewerby; around Hornsea; around Withernsea; and at Spurn Point.
Participating in this program is a snap - all you need to do is download the CoastSnap App (available from Apple and Android App Stores) and visit one of the CoastSnap locations. Each one has a camera cradle, specifically designed to control the position of your photo. By using something called Photogrammetry, scientists can use your photos to make maps at an accuracy similar to that of professional survey team. As more and more photos are taken, your snaps provide a powerful record to enable researchers to understand how our coastline is changing due to processes such as storm surges, sea level rise and human factors.
The more photos we have of a particular location, the better our understanding becomes of how environments, such as coastlines, are changing over time, and thus helping communities, local government and stakeholders to better manage these valuable environments.

Welcome to the Port Phillip Bay CoastSnap Network!
The University of Melbourne is working with stakeholders around Port Phillip Bay to establish a community monitoring network around the shores of our region. We have installed 10 CoastSnap monitoring stations in locations around the bay, to enable community members to capture how our dynamic world is changing over time using their smartphones. These stations are located at Sandridge, Red Bluff, Carrum Beach, Rye Beach, Altona Beach, Werribee South, Clifton Beach, Ramblers Rd Beach, Frankston Beach and Seaford Beach.
