Abstract:
Under the COP27, coastal cities have taken a significant portion, insisting on the need to address the problems of ports and ship transportation due to their detrimental effects on the environment and their contribution to climate change. The city of Annaba is one of the major cities with a bustling port and a prominent position in the country. However, it generates numerous problems that pose threats to human health and the environment. Through the conducted analyses in this study, it has been revealed that the port of Annaba negatively impacts the city and its climate, generating three primary types of pollution that affect air quality through greenhouse gas emissions, marine environment, and noise pollution for both residents and marine organisms , this study further emphasized that the integration of Geographic Information Systems and remote sensing in ports contributes to the sustainable management of port operations and facilitates continuous monitoring of the city's surroundings.
