CEOS COAST aims to improve the accuracy of coastal data based on satellite and land-based observations.
The project will be endorsed by the UN-body “International Oceanographic Commission (IOC)” to bring together governments, industry, academics, NGOs, and other stakeholders to study our oceans and develop conservation solutions.
CEOS COAST has been recognised by IOC due to its use of innovative technology, for its focus on diversity and inclusivity, and for fostering trust and collaboration between scientists and lay users of ocean knowledge.
