Cover Story: Coastal areas are crucial for economic and recreational development, attracting large populations globally. However, this has increased pressure on the coastal landscape, requiring strategies to protect it. Composed of abiotic and biotic elements, the coastal landscape is vital for human wellbeing. This study examines the southeast of the Ría de Arosa on Galicia’s coast. The goal is to create high-resolution maps for planning and conserving landscapes. Using geographic information systems, we will analyze environmental factors to produce landscape units, quality and fragility maps. Strategies like multi-use land practices and geotourism are proposed for sustainable management. This work contributes to our understanding of coastal landscape vulnerability and offers tools for sustainable management. View this paper
