Due to the squatting of the public properties, mainly of the beaches and intertidal zones, by individuals, Colombia's Maritime Authority DIMAR (Dirección General Marítima), acting as the National Maritime Authority, in charge of controlling and managing such properties, has defined a conceptual model which utilizes spatial data, technical specifications and procedures to establish technically the limit of jurisdiction. The spatial information used comprised orthorectified digital air photographs taken during 2005, as well as three-dimensional information obtained with a LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) ALS40 sensor which allowed to conforma digital carthographic base appropriate for the control and management tasks of the littoral at the Morrosquillo Gulf.
The utilization of the spatial information for the control and management of the littoral at the Morrosquillo Gulf, comprised the definition of the conceptual model, the establishment of the needs of spatial information, the application of the conceptual model, the verification of its findings on the field, the analysis and discussion of the limits of DIMAR jurisdiction, the storing of the information of jurisdiction at the Institutional GIS of DIMAR and finally, the development of the control and administration of the littoral by the Port Authorities and the DIMAR based on the corresponding spatial data.
As a result of there search, the digital carthographic base of the area of study was obtained which is composed of 171 orthophotomaps to scale 1:2000, a database associated to the carthography resulting from a census of the littoral areas under jurisdiction, the interpolation from the Digital Terrain Model DTM-which was generated based on the LIDAR data, from the ellipsoidal height value of the highest tide line internal beach limit; location and quantification of the eroded and accretion produced by the construction of groins and breakwaters; spatialization and quantification of the areas subject to anthropic refilling; location and quantification of the flooding areas for an eventual sea level rise; trace of the preliminary limits of DIMAR jurisdiction and the structuring and storing of the spatial and alphanumeric information at the National Maritime Authority Corporative Geodatabase. Regarding the public properties under DIMAR jurisdiction, through there search it was established that 132.8 hectares correspond to beach field, the low tide fields occupy an area of 4,260 hectares and a strip of fifty meters of jurisdiction comprises 519.4 hectares.
