The COCAS community builds on and uses a science-based decision support system, for sustainable development of the marine Exclusive Economic Zones of the Global South countries.
Its mission is three-fold:
- First, to implement and sustain coastal ocean long-term observatories assessing ongoing marine environmental changes and their impact on a rich marine biodiversity and multicultural populations;
- Second, to create a common language and common practices for stakeholders based on data, intelligent information, and technology;
- Third, to give birth to a new generation of scientists, end-users and decision-makers, working together for the integrated coastal management of tomorrow in the Global South.
Start Date: 01/04/2021
End Date: 31/12/2030
This project is hosted by the programme Ocean Observing Co-Design: evolving ocean observing for a sustainable future.
