Environmental Ethics Discourse Analysis: Coastal Protection and Outer Space in a Digital Era

\nThis article aims to observe coastal area protection by utilizing outer space technology and filling the gap between philosophical approach and technology. The coastal areas are one of the environmental crises nowadays, especially in archipelago countries. This area is impacted by climate change and puts society at risk. Erosion, flooding, and damage are examples of coastline crises resulting in floods, storm surges, and topography changes. Moreover, the crises affect social dimensions like movement and economic loss. The important aspects from this paper is that it uses three dimensions of environmental ethics: anthropo-centric, biocentric, and eco-centric. The advantages of using space technology to protect the coastline are the fast and precise data from satellites, which inform people on Earth regarding sea surface and waves and boost awareness on a micro level. As a result, coastline damage can be managed appropriately, slowing the risks for society and taking action to promote a natural-oriented presence. By using the environmental ethics discourse, this article wants to analyze the conceptual foundation of why stakeholders should put their interest in space technology to protect the coastal area and how far the presence of this concept is in outer space technology utilization.\n
