US/European Partnerships in Coastal Atlases and Coastal/Ocean Informatics

This report summarizes the outcomes of a series of trans-Atlantic workshops on coastal atlases and ocean informatics, focusing on international collaboration in coastal management. The sessions featured insights from experts like Dawn Wright of Oregon State University and Val Cummins from CMRC. Highlights include discussions on the state and regional perspectives on technical developments, governance issues, the need for best practices, and fostering semantic interoperability for improved data access and decision support. Collaborative proposals and the formation of the International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN) were emphasized.
