  abstract = {{R}egular monitoring of coastal areas is a prerequisite to evade any imminent erosive disaster. {H}owever, data-driven decisions become more uncertain when a monitoring platform is unable to capture events of a certain frequency. {E}rosion along {G}hana's coastline is endemic as in most of the {G}ulf of {G}uinea countries in {W}est {A}frica. {T}he current challenge is how to document and understand the dimensions of erosion despite limited human and logistical capacity. {I}n the present study, shoreline change was assessed by an intensive multi-platform data collection strategy deployed for a year at {E}lmina {B}ay, {G}hana through the use of drones, a shore-based camera, {S}entinel satellite images and a dumpy level. {T}he potential causes and areas of erosion at {E}lmina were clearly identified at a very fine scale by our sediment budget calculations. {W}hile a section of the beach in front of the {E}lmina {C}astle was adequately protected by the presence of jetties , downdrift of the larger unprotected portion of the beach was out of balance with high erosion rates. {F}urthermore, the results revealed that frequent, local video cameras and drones are more effective for operational monitoring of shoreline changes at all time scales. {S}atellite imagery is also a potential alternative tool, but its low temporal resolution, compared with video cameras, makes it unsuitable for detecting daily or event-based beach changes, and is of low accuracy for practitioners and management decisions.},
