| Summary: | Making evidence-based decisions
regarding coastal environments, infrastructure, and natural
resources and their interaction with people requires
accurate data. Because of the nature of coastal phenomena
and their impacts on livelihoods and the environment,
integrated systems that collect and share data regionally
and focus on coastal areas and marine conditions, land use,
climate patterns, and natural hazards are needed. Monitoring
coastal areas requires scientific input, public-private
partnerships, and an interconnected effort among national
and regional actors. A harmonized monitoring system will
increase the visibility and efficiency of data and
information systems, facilitate decision making, promote
best regional coastal management practices, and increase the
resilience of coastal environments. |
