Supporting coastal sustainability with Earth observations

Lillian Diarra — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 15:46:25 +0000

With the coastal zone under increasing pressure from climate change and development, informed policy and management has never been more important. Thanks to the efforts of Copernicus and the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet), Earth observations from satellites and from sensors in the sea are helping decision-makers gather the evidence they need to create effective strategies.
