Leveraging Marine Geospatial Data for Coastal Area Mitigation and Management
Overview
Coastal and marine spatial data serve as wheels that drive the blue economy and open new doors for investment, revealing new insights about the coasts and oceans thereby aiding in the sustainable management of coastal and marine resources.
The National Centre for Coastal Research, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Chennai, has been collecting, collating, and analysing geospatial data related to coastal and marine processes and hazards, coastal pollution, coastal ecosystems, and habitats for more than two decades for the benefit of the society and environment.
