Analysis of the Spatial Correlation between Port Areas Configuration and Alterations of the Coastal Shoreline: A Multidisciplinary Approach Using Spatiotemporal GIS Indicators

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Good paper. I suggest that the authors add a table to show percentage of each level for the seven indicators. They have been displayed on Tables 3 and 4. The quantitative information is helpful for readers to understand your study.

Author Response

The authors appreciate the kind comments of the reviewer, and acknowledge the lack detected in the text. Therefore, to improve reader understanding, new tables 3 and 4 (underlined in blue) have been included in the new version of the manuscript, incorporating numerical information on the configuration and impact indicators for some relevant examples.

Reviewer 2 Report

This article appears to be well organized and structured and uses appropriate methodologies to explore the existing correlation between the construction of various marinas and coastal infrastructures. I didn't notice any errors in the text, figures, or tables. However, some minor mistakes need to be corrected: In pictures 5, 10, and 11, the years are partly written in the subpictures and partly in the legend. For a better visibility, years could be written on all sub-pictures. Figure 11 is not cited in the text, although it is mentioned.

Author Response

The authors appreciate the kind comments of the reviewer and have incorporated the requested improvements (dates have been placed on the indicated figures and figure 11 has been cited in the text).
