Abstract
The coast of the Region of Murcia has undergone significant changes between 1956 and 2013. In this study photogrammetric techniques have been applied to quantify the evolution of the Mediterranean coastline of the Region of Murcia. Trends show significant changes with high spatial and temporal differences between the cities of Aguilas and San Pedro del Pinatar. These changes are mainly related to transformations in land use from the 80s from the last century, from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture which have resulted in reduced sediments yields that contributed to the coastal system in the region. The uses and watershed hydrology of the southern region are those that have experienced the biggest changes what has translated in big losses of beach surface.
