about=The Italian Minor Islands Coastal Risk plugin allows GIS technicians, coastal engineers and researchers to assess coastal erosion vulnerability on Italian minor islands (Aeolian, Pontine, Pelagie, Tuscan Archipelago, Sardinian islands and more).

    Key features:
    - Four CVI calculation methods: Gornitz (1991), USGS Thieler & Hammar-Klose (1999), Pantusa et al. (2018) for the Mediterranean, and a Linear Mean index
    - Per-island method recommendation based on scientific literature (Anfuso 2011, CNR-IRPI 2023, EEA 2020, etc.)
    - Constant-value panel for parameters not available as layer fields (sea level rise, wave height, tidal range)
    - Automatic graduated symbology (green to red, 5 risk classes)
    - Interactive bar chart dashboard with hover tooltips and click-to-select features
    - Digitisation wizard (5 guided steps) to create shoreline segment layers directly in QGIS
    - Reference datasets for Ischia, Lipari and Lampedusa (approximate geometries, for methodological reference only)
    - Synthetic test datasets for 28 Italian minor islands
    - Online data catalogue with direct download links to ISPRA, Copernicus, EMODnet, TINITALY and OSM
    - Export to high-resolution PNG map, CSV attribute table and TXT summary report

    Spatial coverage: Italian minor islands and coastal areas in the Mediterranean Sea.
    No external Python dependencies beyond the standard QGIS installation.
