Spanish term

costas humanizadas

Spanish to English Science Environment & Ecology coastlines
"Consideramos costas humanizadas a todas aquellas donde la influencia de las actividades del hombre hayan cambiado sustancialmente su morfología, funcionamiento y población englobando las costas urbanas, los puertos, diques, y defensas costeras, las áreas de cultivo y salinas, los vertidos y áreas de transporte intenso."

Humanised coasts sounds wrong and doesn't Google well - is this spome special term, please?

Any marine environmental specialists working this sunny Sunday?!

Many thanks

"developed" is a town-planning term and I don't think you can apply it to "áreas de cultivo y salinas" as in your context, because these areas are not "developed" in town-planning terms; I think you need a geographical-ecological term for these.
