Review

This paper, as indicated by its title, promises a timely and relevant investigation into geomorphological and environmental changes affecting several beaches within the Sinis Peninsula of Sardinia, Italy. The focus on coastal dynamics is critical given the increasing pressures on shorelines globally, making a regional case study particularly valuable. A key distinguishing feature highlighted is the proposed "expeditious method for qualitative analysis," suggesting an innovative approach to assessing these changes, potentially offering a quicker or more accessible alternative to highly quantitative or resource-intensive methods. The overall premise is compelling, addressing a significant environmental challenge with a methodological contribution. Without the benefit of an abstract, a reviewer would particularly scrutinize how the paper delivers on its methodological claim. The core of this work appears to lie in the "expeditious method for qualitative analysis"; therefore, the full manuscript must meticulously describe the components of this method, its data requirements, the specific steps involved in its application, and how its "expeditiousness" is demonstrated or quantified. Furthermore, the paper should clearly articulate the specific types of geomorphological (e.g., erosion, accretion patterns) and environmental (e.g., habitat alteration, water quality proxies) changes being analyzed, and over what temporal scales. A critical discussion on the strengths and limitations of a qualitative approach, especially in comparison to existing quantitative techniques, would be essential to establish the method's niche and appropriateness for various applications, such as initial assessments or resource-limited contexts. Should the paper effectively elaborate on these points, particularly demonstrating the robustness and practical utility of its expeditious qualitative method, it could offer a valuable tool for coastal monitoring and preliminary assessment, not only in Sardinia but potentially in other vulnerable coastal regions worldwide. The findings, even if qualitative, could provide crucial insights for local coastal management strategies and conservation efforts within the Sinis Peninsula. However, for maximum impact, the paper must ensure exemplary clarity in its methodology, precise definitions of the observed changes, and a thorough discussion of the implications of its findings. A minor but important point for revision would be to correct the spelling of "analysis" in the title.
