Portuguese Coastal Monitoring Network (CoastNet) 2560 1440 Ocean Decade

Lead institution:

Marine and Environmental Science Centre (MARE), University of Lisbon – Portugal

The Portuguese Coastal Monitoring Network (CoastNet) is a research infrastructure (RI) implemented by MARE (Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre). 

This RI aims to improve the understanding of Portuguese coastal ecosystems functioning and variability through the implementation of a remote coastal monitoring system. Real-time acquisition of relevant chemical, physical and biological variables allow this information to be integrated in a structured database, available online to the scientific community, central administration, private companies and the general public. 

In this way, the CoastNet contributes to 3 outcomes of the Ocean Decade: i) a healthy and resilient ocean where marine ecosystems are understood, protected, restored and managed; ii) a predicted ocean where society understands and can respond to changing ocean conditions; and finally iii) an accessible ocean with open and equitable access to data, information and technology and innovation. 

Start Date: 01/01/2016
End Date: 31/12/2027
