Ocean Observing Coasts

Ocean observing coasts involve the use of advanced technology and networks to monitor physical, chemical, and biological conditions along coastal regions. This includes measuring water temperature, currents, wave activity, sea level, and weather patterns. By collecting this data, scientists can better understand coastal dynamics, track climate change effects, predict hazards like storms or flooding, and support sustainable management of marine resources. These observations help protect coastal communities, ecosystems, and economies by providing timely and accurate information about the changing ocean environment.
