Sustaining Coastal Observatories www.pol.ac.uk Objectives Bring together groups engaged in developing and running coastal observing and forecasting systems (relax!) How to sustain coastal observing systems Bring together operators and users Foster exchange of information and experiences Forge liaisons and collaborations Frame 1: Research: Predicting the response of shelf seas to change 2: Management : Water quality; coastal defence. Central / local government 3. Management: Applied: Navigation, fishing, offshore construction, SAR 4.
