MarCoast

MarCoast (Marine & Coastal Environmental Information Services) was a three year GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) project funded by the European Space Agency with the aim of establishing a durable network of marine and coastal information services.
 

The pilot service that was developed during the ROSES project (2003 – 2004), was completed and run operationally in the frames of MARCOAST project. In the framework of these two projects, a complete service for oil spill monitoring and forecasting was delivered in order to provide forecasts based on satellite oil spill detection in near real time.
